Is it any wonder the city of "Redding tells group it can't feed homeless"?
Martin Luther King Park is basically at the mouth of Mercy Hospital canyon, and all the way up as far as the eye can see a multitude of homeless tents and makeshift shelters litter the hillside.
Instead of racial segregation, economic racism it is now born out of sheer cold economic necessity, the need to survive.
Sadly, discrimination is intensified by local television news reports portraying homeless people as substandard and unhuman.
For years Redding's "black only" community lived here segregated from the rest of the city, complete with own bar, grocery store, laundry, etc...
Fascinating how now Redding's perceived undesirables are forced to live and survive there now.
Secluded enough, that rapes and murders have occurred there as well.
What has City of Redding and Shasta County Supervisors done with all the millions they received from Sacramento declaring a homeless shelter crisis?

Unfortunately the funding most likely goes to un deserving pockets, instead of sending dumpsters along with wash stations and porta potties at least.. they could also send shower trailers in ever week do they can shower..
Donate tents and sleeping bags or even build those little home there!!!
