this_is_not_an_exaggeration
tender_square a couple years ago, a man and his wife bought their first home downtown. then, the city's homeless shelter moved up the road to a bigger location, across the street from their house. as drug use in the community continues to rise, as the mental health crises worsens, as inflation puts people in precarious situations out on the street all these dramas take center stage from the couple's front window. they uploaded videos of their security camera footage to the internet to show how bad it's gotten. in the film, a woman screams like a dying cat at all hours. strangers approach cars in the night and test the locks. users openly take drugs in the daylight. fights break out. a man is tackled and arrested by police on the couple's front lawn. they couple was trying to shame city council into taking action. what they got was a vigilante confrontation, a man accusing them of making the city look bad, of doctoring the footage to make the crisis seem worse than it is. he nearly ran over someone with his van. the couple took the footage down. 230303
