UPDATE: That was fun, I was surprised how many people participated, but no surprise at the results – 85% joined Chico State President Gayle Hutchinson in expressing disapproval of putting a low-barrier (anything goes) shelter a block from the college.
My kid is at University of Nevada, where they have a zero tolerance policy regarding “walkers” – transients are not allowed anywhere on campus. Workers, like my son, have radios, and whenever they see somebody who is obviously not a student or employee they are instructed to call security immediately. It makes me feel better to know they are serious about student safety at UNR, Meanwhile, here in Chico we’ve had a transient murder right on campus and reports of armed robberies and dead transients in the college neighborhoods.
Hutchinson, if she’s sincere about what she says about the shelter, should also do something to get the transients off campus, away from campus housing facilities, and out of the student parking areas.
And hey, let me know if you think of a good question for another poll, that was fun!

Too close the college, there are apartments right across the street.
Thanks Jim! This is really a test poll, I wanted to see how it works.
for many years taxpayers in chico have invested in resources and assist programs to help homeless. the success rate is close to 0 percent. all it did was attract more homeless to destroy our community. Over the years I have had many encounters with homeless and they have no desire to improve their lives. repairs, cleanup, and securing property has become a daily routine. its time we completely stop investing our tax dollars into homeless assistance.
Thanks Leonard, you nailed it. These services are just attracting more transients/criminals to our area. These people need to be placed in jails or in mental institutions, they have no business anywhere near our kids.
Furthermore, we need major reform in our prisons, jails, and mental healthcare facilities. At present these agencies are being run and overseen by corrupt and incompetent individuals who use their position to enrich themselves rather than make the necessary improvements and hire good staffers. Here’s a post I wrote last September about where the funding for these facilities really goes:
