I’m wondering when the city is going to smooth something about the illegal camping inside, outside, and all around RCA park and in the woods north of Cherokee Dr. There is a continuous line of homeless, all day and night, with luggage, carts, and camping gear going back through the neighborhoods. They scream, fight, harass, and throw garbage everywhere and the mayor let them camp here so they still think it’s ok even though it is clearly illegal. They’ve also been burning garage and plastic the past 4 nights, which wait for it, is also illegal. Seriously, the mayor ran on addressing this problem and letting them destroy a different neighborhood is not a solution. We have little to no police presence over here and these people have been breaking multiple laws including trespassing as well. What are you guys doing about any of this?

Hi, apologies if this isn’t the correct place for this, but I need to express my concern. Over the last year or so, I’ve taken more of an interest in City Council meetings and have been watching them on CATS when I can. I’ve noticed an odd…phenomenon(?). From what I’ve observed, council members more or less attack (sorry for lack of better term) city-hired consultants when they’re presented with information that they don’t agree with. Tonight’s community survey results being the latest example. It almost seemed like multiple members of council were suggesting that a firm be hired based on their ability to provide the data they preferred, rather than proven surveying methods. Again, this may just be me, but the aggressive questioning and more or less insulting of the “expert” was very off-putting. It happened with Hopewell presentations, too. Why does council feel the need to attack and then soap box? Everything feels knee-jerk and emotion based. I just wish there was more level-headed, unbiased conversation in these meetings. Like, these are the people making decisions for their voters but so many of their speeches are about them personally and may mention constituents, but in a very flippant way (if that makes sense). Anyway, it’s just concerning to me. These people are supposed to be representatives of the residents of Bloomington and therefore Bloomington itself, yet do not hesitate to make offensive comments to people hired to ultimately help the city become better. At what point does Bloomington just get the reputation of no one wanting to work with/for us because council is more or less abusive if they aren’t given information/data they agree with? Sorry if this just comes off as a rant—I truly hope it finds its way to some welcoming ears and eyes. And maybe, just maybe, inspires some change. I will use my singular vote each election cycle and hope for the best, in the meantime.

There is a "tent" structure in the front yard of this property. The legal owner is deceased and her adult children occupy this house without paying taxes. The homeless people who congregate here do not have access to a bathroom or sewage system. The property is littered with clothing and trash. This property has been under an abatement, which I believe ended when the property was sold recently at the Treasurer's tax sale. This property continues to be an eyesore and a health concern from feces & urine (from lack of restroom access), as well as rodent & insect investations. I have also seen needles from drug use scattered on the road in the past.

Accessibility Problem

I am writing to report the severe noise disruptions from the IU Stadium that continued until nearly 2:00 AM. Even with our doors and windows completely shut and locked, the heavy, thumping bass and stadium drums were loud enough to vibrate homes across a 2-mile radius from the stadium. When residents call to report this, the response from city channels is a dismissive, "Well, you know there's a football game tonight." This classic town versus gown attitude suggests that year-round residents should just accept this disruption as the new normal.While I understand the economic value of football to our local commerce, the blame for this issue lies with the late-night television scheduling and a major shift in stadium audio technology. These high-powered subwoofer systems did not exist when many permanent residents bought their homes, started families, or moved to Bloomington. This is not the standard college town noise of the past; it is a new level of low-frequency disruption deep into the night that penetrates right through our walls.There is a clear double standard here. Local workers, parents, and neighbors who deal with sleep deprivation or stadium-induced migraines do not get a pass from their employers the next morning just because a television network wanted a primetime slot. I want to ask how powerless the city truly is in this situation. Is there still respect for the neighbors who keep Bloomington running year-round but have no affiliation with the university? I urge the city administration to enforce our local noise protections and work with the university to scale back the late-night bass.
