    SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A Sacramento hair salon owner says the homeless crisis is forcing her to move her business after 15 years.

    On Friday Elizabeth Novak posted a video online calling out Governor Gavin Newsom, asking him to fix the problem.

    She says long-standing business owners like herself are dealing with people breaking into her shop and now she’s left to pick up the pieces. Inside her salon, Novak says she finds a safe space, but outside the homeless issue has gotten so bad, she says she cleans human excrement from the front porch at least once a week.

    Now, she says it’s running her out of town.

    “I’m waving a white flag, it’s an SOS, it really is,” Novak said.

    Friday she released a video which has since been seen millions of times. She says she was sending a message to Governor Newsom asking him to change the laws that are lenient on homeless people.

    In the video, she says, “I have to fight off people to push their way into my shop, and are homeless and on drugs, because you don’t wanna arrest people for drug offenses.”

    We spoke with her at her shop on 21st street. She says since the video was released she’s been harassed online, she even got a phone call from an angry neighbor during our interview.

    Novak said when she comes into work she’s never sure what she’s going to see, including her shop broken into. She partly blames the laws preventing police from arresting homeless people.

    “I have compassion, I love these people, but I’m not able to work at my business any longer,” she said.

    Other business owners shared they’ve dealt with similar issues. But Dale Glazer with “Visiting Angels” just down the block says this isn’t Governor Newsom’s responsibility.

    “Everybody should be at the table who is a stakeholder, from the local business to the city council, to the mayor, it is not Gavin’s responsibility,” Glazer said.

    He too has a gate outside of his business so his employees don’t confront sleeping homeless people. But he wants to see the city invest in a new space for the homeless.

    “There are all these things to make Sacramento better, but we can’t focus on the fundamentals of human decency,” he said.

    For Novak, she doesn’t call this a political issue, but one business owners downtown are dealing with daily.

    “I have been run out of my business,” she said.

    Novak says she plans to be out of the space by October 1st. But the harassment since this video went viral has gotten so bad, she says she may need to leave the space before then.

    We did reach out to Governor Gavin Newsom‘s office for comment on this issue but have not yet heard back.

    We ask that here, daily-it is slowly improving for the teen population, though... Sadly, taking care of the homeless just doesn't get the publicity that taking care of illegals does...so if politicians want to be in the spotlight, solving homelessness isn't the way to go...

    That's not entirely correct. There are no laws that prevent police from arresting homeless people if they commit a crime.

    No, it's not, nor can you cite or demonstrate any such policy.

    Please be less of a dishonest whore.

    To be fair there was already a big homeless problem when he became Mayor. It didn't start with him. He ran on a platform of Care Not Cash. In fact I donated money to his Mayoral campaign because of that. The only time I've ever donated to a politician. Now ultimately nothing changed under his watch and its only gotten worse since.

    SF and Sacramento aren't Baltimore West. Way more money out here than in Baltimore. No value in Baltimore real estate like there is out here. And Sacramento has run down areas for sure but nothing like Baltimore.

    To me, it does not seem any worse in downtown Sacramento than in downtown Oakland or downtown Los Angeles. Therefore, I am not clear why this particular mayor is supposedly doing worse than others.
    There clearly seems to be more homeless everywhere than there was 30 years ago.

    It seems to be mostly a public health issue to me, not a law enforcement issue. I lot of these people seem to have mental disabilities.
    I leave it to people with expertise to propose solutions, I would be a phony armchair expert if I knew what the bloody heck to do about it.

    I'm not a Newsom supporter. But I lived in SF prior to his time in office and the crapping, homeless etc. was all present before he took office. I'm saying it didn't start with him.
