CARLSBAD — Residents in the Barrio are fed up with a controversial state-funded homeless facility also dedicated to serving severely mentally ill individuals.
Windsor Pointe opened in 2022 and since then residents have documented countless calls to Carlsbad police for a variety of crimes from a shooting, attempted murder, a registered sexual offender visiting, a man wielding a machete in addition to residents finding Windsor Pointe residents sleeping in their yards.
Denis Jensen sent the City Council a detailed letter on Oct. 18 outlining the numerous issues with the facility such as kids being threatened, rising crime, sexual predators visiting and asking the council to “pull the plug” on the project. Also, a CPD call summary from Jan. 1, 2022, through July 2022, shows nearly 100 calls to police or fire regarding an issue at the two locations.
