Warning! Health hazard Downtown

Every single time I walk out of my plush 40 story office building a get an overwhelming bouquet of PISS! The homeless situation in DT is redunkulous (my new word). I believe that they are a walking/ talking bio-hazards. In fact I think they should be handled by the EPA. According to my very short research, urine is a pollutant and the EPA is supposed to protect the public from these pollutants, by enforcement. So the EPA needs to round up all the homeless (mobile) and sanitize them, or fine the City of Houston for not maintaining emissions from these inhabitants, who live in city parks, which is city property (stationary).

Clean Air Act
42 U.S.C. s/s 7401 et seq. (1970)
The Clean Air Act is the comprehensive Federal law that regulates air emissions from area, stationary, and mobile sources. This law authorizes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) to protect public health and the environment.

I used to walk through the park at McKinney and Austin while it was privately held by Crescent Real Estate, it was very nice. But now that the City of Houston owns it, it is infested with these mobile and stationary pollutants. http://www.houstonpress.com/Issues/2005-08-04/news/news.html

Actually the homeless situation is so bad in front of my building that people would rather go thru the tunnels to avoid getting mobbed by the urine bathers. This is detrimental to the restaurant's which survive on the business lunch crowd. These business owners really need to ban together and sue the city for not enforcing it's vagrancy and panhandling laws.

Sometimes I do have empathy for these people, yet I have more concern for the health of people and business's that come in to contact with the vagrants. I know no normal person would choose to live such a life, but it doesn't mean that we have to put up with them living among us.
