Obviously, I fully support this petition. I have already sent a separate letter to Councilmembers Gonzalez, Herbold and Burgess letting them know that I oppose the adoption of the ordinance.

Homeless people need help to BETTER their lives; this is just enabling them to perpetuate a lifestyle that is destructive to themselves and their communities. They need help. Not this.

This is not the right solution here.

Do not wreck our parks and greenways. They are for the enjoyment of all our citizens, not just those living in tents.

Please solve this problem rather than legalizing illegal practices!

O'Brien has come up with yet another lousy concept and continues to not listen to his constituents - total disconnect!

Our public parks our for everyone's enjoyment, families and children. I am appalled that our City Council wants to turn them into homeless camps. All of them will soon be "Jungles" where no one is safe.

If we lose the ability for our kids to have a safe place to practice and play their respective outdoor sporting activities, we will lose our future.

I strongly disagree with the solution to our blight of homelessness, to allow homeless encampments in most of the city's parks. As a home owner: when you buy a $500,000 home you do not expect a homeless camp next door to you. This will make some think of selling and moving to another city to live . Our tax dollars should be building pod accommodations and/or taking over empty buildings for housing (such as the bank building at Stone N & 130thN as a make shift shelter. Tax paying families will now not feel safe/free to utilize the neighborhood parks that drew us here in the first place.

I think that a more in-depth study is needed that looks at other alternatives. What we need is more housing for the homeless.

It failed in Portland. Being homeless can give u more "Rights" than paying taxes. All of us must follow rules to live in this society. Many homeless people just don't want rules..
