I love biking to work when it's nice out and I have enough time in the morning to get there without rushing.

I would if I wasn't retired and worked fairly close by; was younger; and had convenient access to bike trails and NOT the street bike paths. Those look pretty precarious to me.

No, but I would if:

If I was closer to an off-road trail system or felt safer cycling, I would do it more!

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
