This has been going on for years, more like decades. Every administration has worked on and mostly failed at finding a long-term solution to homelessness here in Anchorage. This is an extremely complicated issue made more difficult by alchoholism, mental illness, lack of affordable housing & much more. I now have observed a whole new group living in the parks, young people. One particular group at "Rocket Park" has made a huge messy camp, locals have witnessed this group hauling things from neighbors back yards to furnish their camps, they have been seen stealing bikes and there have been confrontations with nearby neighbors & I don't think it's a stretch to say they are probably the group stealing mail. They are scary, not like some of our other "regular" homeless who are just trying to survive. On top of all of this, the ACLU victory in court that now requires the city to give two weeks notice to evict. Now the APD waits for the magic number of complaints & then gives 2 weeks notice.
