Unsanctioned Camping is Unsafe! Fully Fund Compassionate Intervention!

Please continue to clean up dangerous and illegal encampments, and continue providing the navigation team to offer help to homeless people.

Please don’t allow the homeless to camp on the streets. Let them go to warehouses the city provides.

Mm

Tired of seeing camps everywhere. We spend more and more money and nothing is changing.

Save our parks for our kids to use safely.

This is insanity!!! Clearly it didn't work in Portland so why is it being proposed here again? There are plenty of vacant city properties that can be used to provide a safer place for the homeless. Places where trash receptacles and toilets can be made available and services to be offered. I've seen the syringes and feces on the ground in parks and other public areas. It's not safe! People like O'brien and Savant's 'solution' is neither compassionate or long term. Where do you propose spending the money that you wouldn't spend to improve the quality of life for the homeless?? Art for the tunnel? Let's keep everyone safe and pass the budget as proposed by Mayor Burgess.

Really tired of viewing illegal tents/RVs popping up everywhere and leaving trash, or worse, nearby for anyone (even children) to come across.

Please pass the budget as proposed by Mayer Burgess. We need to continue to fund programs that have proven success and not allow our green spaces to be destroyed beyond repair.

We vote for you to find a real solution. Encampments in public spaces aren't the solution Make developers create low cost housing.

We have had multiple recent instances of property crime on our home Highland Park and the police tell me it is directly related to the nearby illegal encampments on Myers Way and the greenbelts. My family does not feel safe. We can no longer take walks in Westcrest park for fear of homeless attack.

city clown-cil should permit homeless to set up tents in their front yard. Charity begins at home

I pay taxes to use the public parks. I like to walk my dogs in the meadows, through the wooded areas which is what the parks are for. All city parks are 100% activated whether or not you see flocks of people there at one time or not. The entire idea of a park is to be able to go and get back to nature and enjoy it, not take it over and ruin it with garbage and filth. No one has a right to live in our public parks not ANYWHERE in them. Trying to deceive tax payers with deceptive wording is beyond awful and no one that supports park camping will get my vote.

Please continue the work begun in 2017 to effectively lower the number of people living on our streets. I’m embarrassed by the pew lance of encampments and worried daily about my safety as I both live and work in downtown Seattle. This city is less safe then it was ten years ago. Sad.

Unlawful camping is getting worse. Now at GreenLake too! Also more and more I5 onramps. Let's build housing PLEASE.

We cannot solve Seattle's homeless problem by allowing camping in our parks and other green spaces. This is not a viable solution for the homeless, and it creates an unsanitary and possibly unsafe situation for Seattle residents. Providing permanent, safe and sanitary shelters that allow pets, access to other services etc. is the path we must take. Quit delaying and get to work creating viable solutions, please.

Public greenspaces are not a proper place to camp overnight, and not a proper place to be used in any way that interferes with other members of the public from using these places. Spending public money to remove people who are depriving members of the public from using public spaces as they were originally intended to be used is a proper expenditure of public funds, and should not be blocked.

Homeless camping, outside of designated places with appropriate city services, will deny other resident's their right to clean and safe parks and other public spaces.

Lets get people off the streets and into safe places. Allowing people to camp on sidewalks, parks, under bridges, etc. is not a safe for anyone and shouldn't be allowed.

Dump the Sawant/O'Brien proviso. Pass Mayor Burgess' budget to clean-up and clean out these encampments. Public properties are for the tax-paying, voting, public, NOT for homeless freeloaders in tents or RVs. Clean up Seattle!.
