The main Post Office on Meridian Park Blvd. in Concord is homeless proofing their 24 hour lobby. The lobby, which is open 24 hours so people can mail letters and check their post office boxes, has recently been used for sleeping. People have been sleeping under the desks/tables, and as you can tell, plywood has been screwed to the desks so nobody can sleep underneath.
Thanks to “Sun Terrace Ken” for the photos and information.
Democrat policies are to blame!
Exactly. Bad economic policy has been endemic even by Republican administrations. Particularly the 2008 back bailout where bad banks should have let fail instead of bailed out. People savings, 401Ks, etc suffered on what appeared to have been an attempt to make us impoverished so the super rich could rule over us in an authoritarian police state.

Some here will blame drugs but stats show only around 20% of the homeless have drug addiction problems. And the authorities are still at it being egg flu, a small measles outbreak and the continuing irrational inflation.
Please! ‘unsheltered neighbor’. People blame drugs, high cost of things but I say it’s too easy to live comfortably on the streets and some people want to live there.
curious.. is this sarcasm? I do not believe 95% of the people that are homeless intended to be there. I believe (my opinion only) that the majority of them never intended to be in the situation they are in but once there it becomes a lifestyle. “life bloodies you up” a lot of people cannot recover from this and then things like drugs and other things come into play. Unfortunately once on the path it is very hard (almost impossible) to change.
Once we saw a man sleeping on top of the table! So they have to do a little more ‘proofing’.
Minor inconvenience, Homeless know how to use a screwdriver.

Was thoughtful of Postal Service to provide a front door for privacy.
It’s been that way for months …it’s been a problem for a few years
