So YOU didn't have YOUR issue until quite recently, and from that you draw the conclusion that none of this ever happened until Ethan became mayor? At that point, a bunch of bums and trespassers just manifested, is that right?

You said yourself you didn't care before it happened close to you. That's pretty much the problem. You didn't care until it was you with this problem up close and personal. So you want to blame it on Mayor Berkowitz, ok. Have fun with that.
