Lillian • 4+ years in Palatka
February 14, 2026I’ve lived in San Mateo for 10 years, which is right outside Palatka. I went into Palatka for years for my shopping and everything else worked. Then I moved to Hawthorne, which I have to go to Palatka again for my shopping and everything else they do not have enough apartments or homes for people with low income they don’t have any shelters for homeless people. There’s so many people living in the woods. It’s crazy they need help.
