HAIGHT'S "DRUG NOMADS'

The recent expose of the mess in the Haight, by Marianne Costantinou (
"Ominous mood swing in the Haight: This is not the Summer of Love," June
12) tells it like it is.

One observation: The Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council depicts the drug
nomads who are invading the neighborhood as "the San Francisco homeless."
Then, when local residents try to control the invaders, the council says
they're being hard-hearted to our city's homeless.

The result is that the invasive nomads have had a field day - and their
drug business has never been better.

The Haight will never recover as long as Haight Ashbury Neighborhood
Council continues to make excuses for those who are invading and trashing
the Haight.
