What we hear in a City Council meeting versus what we see today on the streets, despite millions poured into this effort in money and personnel, has become a city of two tales. Referencing questionable data collected with questionable methodologies, city staff recently reported “success” in their efforts to curb homelessness in Carlsbad, CA.
However, the pictures below, taken recently, paint a completely different picture. The real story on the ground is, well, on the ground, as you can see.
The Homeless Committee of CarlsbadC2O has long questioned the terminology and the methodology that the city uses to describe the current situation in Carlsbad. According to one member of the committee, the method used to count the number of homeless is incomplete and leading to unrealistic conclusions.
