Letter to the Editor: Ordinance Prohibiting Homeless Camps Is a Mistake

Posted

An ordinance prohibiting homeless encampments on county lands is a mistake. Do the ordinance supporters think the homeless will thereby simply disappear? In fact, I think county land is the best place for them to stay.
