San Jose leaders are advocating for faster solutions to the homelessness crisis, but these quick fixes may have dire consequences. Rosemarie Molina reflects on the tragic loss of her father, Rafael Molina, a former police officer who struggled with mental health and addiction, ultimately living on the streets. His death from smoke inhalation was attributed to city actions that displaced him from his tent, emphasizing the need for more thoughtful approaches in addressing homelessness and its underlying issues, including mental health and addiction.
I do believe that moving his encampment contributed to the factors why he died that night.
It's a disease and it's something that he couldn't help and it's no one's fault.
My brother was a good guy; he didn't bother anybody, he didn't steal, he didn't hurt anybody, he was just a good guy.
