Relocating after 15 years because owner is sick of cleaning up syringes, urine and feces from outside her salon

A hair salon owner in California says she will be forced to move her business due to the problems of homeless people sleeping outside her shop.

Elizabeth Novak, who owns a hair salon in downtown Sacramento, posted a video on Twitter on Friday describing how she often finds people camping in tents across her front door.

She told how the vagrancy crisis gripping the state is affecting long-standing business owners and that her shop has been broken into and she has even been attacked.

Novak, who has run her salon for 15 years, said in her social media message that she often has to clean-up urine, feces and needles left by rough sleepers on her doorstep.
