I've lived here 15 years and seen the crime increase each year. More homeless which the city pretends to "control" with the idea of fencing in part of the mall parking and putting up oversized courthouses for them to live in. With communal showers and locking them in at night. In the meantime they legalize pot. Humboldt is the pot capital of California.The cut back on police, close fire stations 3/4 of the year, so far. After we voted more money for police and fire.
The only ones doing good in Humboldt county are the people with lots of money. Normal, poor, seniors, disabled or homeless are forgotten and ignored. Slum lords are a problem here too. PLUS MOLD IS EVERYWHERE, it rains a lot, were in the redwoods and MOLD is something you put up with here. I'm moving to Southern California when I can raise the money. My health is gotten so bad here my doctor says I need to move for my health and mental health. I've been trying since January but on SSI,as it's impossible. I have two fund raising websites but only raised $85 in 6 months. Hope this information helps with a moving decision. I'd like to hear the truth about areas I'm looking into.
