\C.W. Nevius continues his Homeless Encampment 2007 Tour with a visit to Corona Heights. His verdict? Not so good. He found twenty possible separate campsites as well as broken bottles and needles. Neighbors let it be known that the ever-popular "human feces" could also be added to the list. To make matters worse, there's a school, the Rocky Mountain Participation Nursery School, at the bottom of the hill and, well, won't somebody think of the children?

Neighbors told Nevius that they've called the city plenty of times over the issue but nothing has really been done. Part of the problem is that they're never quite sure who to call as various city agencies handle different parts of homeless encampments and there's not one agency responsible for handling it all.

Nevius has been on a tear lately. Last week, he took a tour of Golden Gate Park and wrote about all the homeless encampments he found there, even proposing a possible solution. Gavin had earlier made a big show of trying to clean up the park, but like almost every Mayor who's dealt with the situation, stopped walking the walk and talking the talk once the cameras left. Nevius' tour of Corona Heights was done after people in the city wrote to him telling him about problems in their nearby parks.
