City of Albuquerque begins permanently closing off alleys in the International District

[markkemp]

So your just moving the problem to another area.

[csblu]

Albuquerque should win the award for dumbest solutions to problems in all of America. It's like we pick the most incompetent people to be in charge here.

$90, 000 for a fence is crazy! Somebody is more than likely lining there pockets out of this!

[KOAnonymously]

90, 000$ to put up a flimsy fence is where our problems begin. Shouldn’t cost even a quarter of that.

IM A FENCER 90 THOUSAND?? YOU PUTTING UP GOLD FENCES?? INSANITY. I CAN DO A FEW UNDER 15 THOUSAND!!

[THEGLASSMANSWORLD]

I noticed they all moved to Jack and Jill Park on San Pedro just south of Zuni. I'll be sharing videos and Live Streams on this situation since I live in the area near Louisiana and Zuni. On TheGlassmans World

Follow the money and you will see why Albuquerque doesnt get better...

[davidlaney]

How about lack of police enforcement!?!? This is why I left ABQ...

[cavernariogalindo]

90°° thousand each!!😮
Somebody's friends are making some big bucks now.

[MSWindman]

WTF! I live in an apartment complex in this area. A complex that is already overwhelmed with the homeless trespassing. Where are these people supposed to go? Pathetic politicians. 🤬

[jaimebaca]

How could there be a lack of services? We have had mostly dems in the house/senate and governorship for 70 years. I’m confused.

[FilmArtPhoto]

It's a band-aid and it helps the business owners... When can we start getting serious about the resources needed to deal with the DRUGS and the MENTAL HEALTH issues?
$90, 000 to fence off one alley??? That's criminal in and of itself!

[williamcrawford]

That's the fix, every business a prison yard.

[minamartinez]

You’re completely correct you nailed it. You can’t fix stupid.

[melaniesalazar]

Put $90, 000 into drug rehabilitation, shelters and affordable housing not fences. That is not solving anything, that's not helping peope struggling with addiction, mental health and homelessness. So tax payers are paying $90, 000 per ally way to put a fence that cost about $1, 000. It's BS.

[JonDoe-eh]

this will be a inconvenience for people who enjoy taking a walk because most people don't want to walk on central.

[latinovic]

Haha 100 call and they never responded to any

[BrendaMartinez-epmj]

Stop giving them drugs, food, money medical assistance and housing lets see if they don't start working. I work and the government won't give me any resources and even with a disabled child

[AbqCommunityOrganizer]

Thank you Councilor Rogers!! I appreciate the efforts you, City Council, and the City are doing to increase housing availability and affordability so being unhoused is not as big of an issue as it is now.

[DannyShipley-rbnj]

Where do these city officials get there DATA? & they say people are suffering….. well this specific area needs to be re-Examined by the city LEADERS….LEADERS
