This didn't work in Portland and it won't work in Seattle. It will only put our children in danger.

Our city parks are not the right place for homeless camping.

This legislation will devastate our city and NOT help any homeless off the streets. It is irresponsible and does not assist the greater city or homeless. Look at Portland

Don't enable people to continue this living style and not allowing the police to police encampments

People need housing and services. This bill provides neither. Implement Pathways Home .

This is a terrible idea. Children frequent these areas and don't need the higher risk of being confronted with mental illness, drug use and used injection sticks. If money is needed for treatment/housing then tax us for it.

Enforce the laws, stop tolerating illegal activity. Don't give up our public spaces

I am firmly AGAINST this legislation. It makes our children less safe, our adults less safe and the homeless less safe. Citizens must be given the opportunity to vote on this legislation. Burgess for Mayor! Recall the other 8 members of the city council.

This is not an appropriate nor viable solution to solving homelessness. Creating more "Jungle"s in our parks is a ridiculous idea.

This is terrible for our city. How about the safety and for the children and elderly. Our city is getting run down and dirty. I don't feel safe anymore ! Don't wasting our money as taxpayers!

I do not approve of allowing camping in our public parks and public spaces.

I'm a lifelong Seattle resident that is tired of our city council being focused on ideology and not the safety, welfare, and interest of the general population.

The idea is poor. Please use your common sense, go back to the drawing board and come up with a SMART plan.

Affordable housing needs to come first. Then homeless camps won't be necessary.

This is absolutely unbelievable you cannot give up and allow this chaos to continue. We must do everything we can to prevent this from making life even more unlivable.
