Mayor Libby is allowing this. People need to write her, email her, put pictures on her desk and keep on doing it until she gets it. Encampments have no business in parks where kids play. It unsafe because most use syringes and they use everything else as a toilet. I've written her several times and emailed her, but its going to take more people to voice their concerns. Its unacceptable. The laws need to be enforced and tough love needs to start.

Over flow from "Super Bowl 50" We have become Oakland we are always open. I surprised the local campgrounds have not sued for stealing customers for allowing not only free camping but free tents, sleeping bags, food, cloths and syringes. How can they compete?
