I am a homeless woman living in Santa Monica. Yes I panhandle. Yes I sleep on the street. Yes, my friends and I hang out at Palisades Park and the 3rd Street Promenade. But we are not dangerous. We are not drug addicts. We are respectable, honorable, honest people who are tired as hell of being persecuted and looked down upon because of our living situation. We get showers every other day, we take care of ourselves. I know this is not true of all of Santa Monica's homeless population, but I felt a strong need to speak up. The Santa Monica Police Department do nothing but harass us all day, for sleeping in the park, sitting on the sidewalk, sitting the wrong way on the Promenade (no joke). They are the real villains, not us.
