Santa Ana residents want the City Council and the SAPD to stop prostitution on N. Harbor Blvd.

A group of Santa Ana neighborhood leaders is planning to attend this Tuesday’s Santa Ana City Council meeting, to complain about problems related to ongoing prostitution that takes place on N. Harbor Blvd. around W. Hazard Ave., in Santa Ana. You might recall that a number of these prostitutes were injured a few months ago in that area when a man drove right into their group.

The residents held a neighborhood meeting on Celeste St. on Nov. 2, regarding the prostitution problem. SAPD Police Chief Carlos Rojas was the guest speaker at that meeting. I am told that 100 neighbors showed up.

Now the residents are going to bring their anti-prostitution message to the City Council. We hope the City Council and the SAPD will clean up the mess on N. Harbor Blvd.!

How disappointing. Almost all women, teens, and young girls who live in prostitution are forced into that life and are still slaves to some sick minded psychopath. Instead of simply "cleaning up the mess" why not diminish the mess makers. Getting those women off Harbor is simple, throw them in jail. However, getting those women off the streets and the help they need to leave that life is the real problem.
