This is REALLY important. I find it very odd that the City tore down those buildings without a plan for what would go in that space. Not to mention the fact that the park is almost impossible to enjoy, because you are always out-numbered by homeless people. How nice would it be to hang out there on a sunny day?
ReplyDeleteIt's just crazy that no one seems to care about this park or understand why it's so important. Super frustrating.
They can improve it all they want, but I am a single woman and won't even walk BY the park because I am really, really tired of getting asked for money every few feet I walk, and stepping around shopping carts loaded down with whoknowswhat. I cannot walk downtown without being asked for money, having some homeless dude on the street staring at me and catcalling or commenting. I have never lived in a place where the urban campers feel so entitled-- not only to sleep wherever they damn well please, but they also feel entitled to shopping carts! Excuse me, but isn't taking a shopping cart called theft?
