So for all those that think they know it all let me give you a little background as to what is really going on. yes lakewood does not have a shelter for them but they were offered a shelter in Toms River now the reason they dont want to stay there – and these are in the words of the homeless- is because in the shelters they need to follow rules and cant have drugs.
it started of with a handful of ppl and has grown a crazy amount because the word got out there in the homeless world of this great place to pitch a tent – and to gavra at work no these are not tents with water and heat they are blue tarps and plastic bags- and live in a quiet nice place where no one bothers you. something has to be done! every morning week wake up to hear another story that happened in that place.
we are waiting for a forest fire to burn down lakewood and then maybe someone will do something.
