"This is not a safety issue," Elías says. "They just don't want to have people there, they don't want to interact with the homeless. As long as they are out of sight, they are out of mind. They are obviously very angry and have great fear, but we need to attack the problem, not scapegoat people."
Mr. Elias should define who "they" are (see above quote.) He is the one who sounds very angry and fearful. His accusations are incorrect and dishonest. This practice has been illegal in most of Elias' district for a long time and he's been fine with that. Perhaps he has a rational explanation as to why other Pima County citizens shouldn't enjoy the same safety measures as the folks he represents. Or perhaps Elias is the one who is scapegoating people. Regardless, his comments are self-serving, hypocritical, and do nothing to attack the problem.

Mr. Elias should define who "they" are. Sounds to me that he is the one who is fearful. Are people allowed to stand in medians in most of Elias' district? NO! They are not because this practice has been illegal in most of his district for a long time. Elias is grandstanding -- folks should know that his comments are self-serving and hypocritical.
