How are people, how are family members going to bring their their kids to an area that’s polluted with fecal matter and with and with, drug usage, rampant drug usage, open drug usage,” Fonseca remarked. “Nobody wants and wants to have that. Nobody wants to bring their kids and and see fecal matter on the floor.”
