I agree with the cause and I do not want our parks to be unsafe.

Too much garbage! The homeless don't respect the land and leave nothing but garbage all over.

Leave our parks alone. The IS no sacred place for our kids, they need these parks.

Please consider keeping our parks available for family gatherings, children to play, reading, relaxing and for those who come visit and vacation in our beautiful city.

I don't want my kids playing with homeless drug addicts! I want them to play safely without them stepping on needles....

Homeless are moving to Seattle because the word is out that our mayor is catering to them.

This is ludicrous. I hope this petition garners some attention with the elected officials making this horrible decision. This is not the answer. For the safety of our children and our communities this can't happen.

Vote NO on the parks and homeless Encampments. Our kids play in the parks everyday. We can not have homeless encampments in these parks

Please do not disregard your local constituents on this issue. This is an inappropriate and expensive attempt to address this issue.

I pay for parks to be places where people can enjoy some outdoor time. Too many are living where ever they feel like and that's not a good thing for the rest of us. Sorry for seeming to be mean but gather them into a single location. It's safer for everyone

Dear Council members, This plan boggles my mind. How does this plan take any steps towards ending homelessness?

I walk daily at Magnuson Park. This failed miserably in Portland. Homeless need safe, INDOOR solutions.

This is not a good use of my taxpaying dollars - which seem to increase every year!

The Seattle City Council has no clue how to analyze a problem, identify its root cause and fix it. This is a great example of not solving a problem, plus turning Seattle into a bigger dump than it already has become.

WHY are you allowing non-taxpayers free benefits when those of us supporting them continue to have rising property taxes?! They are not contributing members of society. Most don't want free services offered. We pay our way around - quit letting them ruin the looks and health of our city!!!
