Dear Editor:
I would like to thank Ty Miller for asking the council and county to look into options to support residents in such need of help that they have to sleep in “public spaces.” The City Council has unanimously passed (on the first reading) an ordinance to ban people from sleeping in public spaces.
Shame on us for not coming together to have plans in place to help people who are in such dire straits that they have to hide to go to the toilet, to sleep and to eat.
I know that there are good folks here who do help provide food, and to open an overnight shelter when it is below 40 degrees and those are wonderful things, and I am grateful to those people. We are a wealthy society. Can’t we do more to help provide the basics of water, food and shelter for everyone?
