A camping ban may reduce the homeless tourism numbers or their length of stay, but the remaining homeless will simply become more emboldened about violating existing restrictions.

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.

But only if it was fully enforced.
ReplyYes , I believe if you make it inconvenient for homeless people to set up camp , they will move on to another city. I do support homeless situations , if they take responsibility by checking into drug free shelters.
ReplyKeep being super nice and more will come.
ReplyMost of what I hear on the news is about the homeless people, not much is reported on the infringement, the stress, nuisance, violence, drug use, filth and garbage that the decent law abiding, tax paying citizens are forced to endure! They need to stop enabling bad behavior! The focus seems wrong!
