Community letters address housing solutions, school funding gaps, and impacts of state and federal policy changes including Medi-Cal eligibility and immigration enforcement.
- This past week, letters urged preserving the Catalyst music venue and mature public trees, criticizing the Dec. 17 mail‑service plan, and warning that Assembly Bill 116 narrows Medi‑Cal options, urging applications to Humboldt County DHHS by December 31st.
- Root causes include redevelopment pressure as writers say the current Catalyst is outdated, authors cite property tax structure and downtown Santa Cruz decline, while PVUSD school board links funding shortfalls to Sacramento.
- Critics noted the Human Services Department plan forces unhoused people to visit at least two offices for mail and questioned handling of Social Security Administration, Department of Motor Vehicles, court, and medical correspondence.
- A suggested interim solution was using obsolete cabooses along the RTC-owned railroad right of way, citing a Texas caboose hotel and minimal-cost purchase potential for sheltering people.
- Looking beyond local policy, several letters criticized federal immigration and naturalization process delays under President Trump and noted a roughly $500,000 embezzlement plea linked to gambling addiction affecting roughly 5% of people.

The Catalyst of old has been gone for a long time Before we spend one minute trying to save the Catalyst, I suggest that everyone visit the most recent version. The current Catalyst is outdated, dirty and in need of demolition. Don’t mistake our disdain for the horrible transformation of our once beautiful downtown. The Catalyst of old has been gone for a long time. The current Catalyst is no longer a must-see location. Take a trip downtown and …
