Yeah ... why not enhance Santa Ana's street cred as a haven for druggies ... ?
Santa Ana wants to be a big city with a gentrified downtown and a trolley, so you have to accept to other aspects that come with a big city mentality. Namely a homeless shelter, admission of its drug problem, proper zoning for medical marijuana businesses, etc.
It's called parity. Can't have it both ways.
