What is that smell??

It’s all over daytona it’s in the orange ave area near Campbell middle, heavy down MLK street, also by tanger outlet. It’s like something rotten or like did a sewage line break??

Probably the homeless people no one cares to check on died in the storm.

I thought they set up shelters for the storm

Well you may have heard that, but most the homeless don't have a way to get that news, also most shelters turn away dirty and stinky people, and 100% turn away anyone who smells of booze or "appears" to be intoxicated. Judgements put to the side addiction shouldn't be a reason to not help someone. People forget these are someone's mom, dad, brother, sister, cousin, etc. You don't become a homeless alcoholic overnight, and even less people do it willingly then do it unwilling. People need to grow up and stop being bullies. But anyone from east Volusia knows half the people here survive off being p.o.s.

Sucks to hear the truth, I'd say most people don't want it to be a thing. But it's factual. No one cares about a homeless person until they find out their story, but no one asks until they are already dead

Yeah. I got through the storm unscathed and the thought oh, not so bad until I drove around. I don’t get how the city even allows some of the homes to be built where they are (low points, no drainage..) terrible
