If the city starts to allow tents of homeless people in the parks then we are going to have the same problems as Seattle. Garbage, aggressive panhandling, people with mental problems. I row on the Sammamish River and there are always a few tents along the riverbank. There is also a lot of trash being thrown into the river. You know they are using the river as a bathroom too. If you want to make a big tent city on a soccer field or some appropriate piece of land fine but don't allow our city to become as ugly as Seattle and then use taxpayer money to clean up the mess.
