  This is a city park and wildlife refuge. Camping, camp fires and killing trees is illegal. These self medicating street zomb!es who refuse all help save for cash for there addictions need to be removed and relocated far far away.

  K please go out and interact with some these fine homeless folks and you will understand. I have been dealing with them for ten years. Then again I may hurting zomb!es feeling by equating the two.

  It's interesting that you assume I haven't interacted with the homeless. In what capacity have you?
  My question though was about the spelling. If you're going to dehumanize people, why not spell it correctly? Why hide?
  Before anyone jumps down my throat, I don't agree with cutting down trees and starting fires in parks. But the discussion doesn't require name calling and using dehumanizing slurs. Be better.

  There is a growing list of words that are blocked by the moderators. I have been involved in head counts, We have brought in social services by calling 211 or have operating dignity come out. As for the dehumanize these people they have chosen this path and have shown lot of ways off of it. There are endless social services and advocates out there offering help. With little to no takers. With 600,000 unsheltered people (PC) out there is it obvious the system is broken. They are being given everything but the real help they need. We as taxpayers are funding all of it. Nothing is free.

  As I am typing this someone at the encampment is dumping buckets of something in the Lake. (Don’t know if you can see the white and pink objects at the water’s edge which is right next to the tall tree he cut down. So sad.

  Unfortunately this website doesn't provide quick responses from what I've seen. Perhaps you can call the city for faster help.

  I have but nothing has ever been done even when in the process of cutting a tree with a saw. Today I saw a City truck parked within 20 yards of this encampment but nothing was done.

  You guys are right, this website just lets you vent and makes you feel good as though you did something. Reporting homeless encampments, illegal dumping, and abandon vehicles are never address.

  I truly hope this will eventually lead to someone at the City stepping up to do the right thing. If these transients hurt someone or if their fires spread to neighboring buildings I will be the first to let the victims know that the City needs to be held responsible for allowing this public danger to continue.

  This is my way of documenting that I put the City on notice and that they will be held accountable!
