Who is going to compensate the land owners that have the value of their property drop? Or worse, what if NOBODY wants to buy or lease near Camp Quixote?
This started as a "protest", and it IS a political statement....
How many of the residents have exhausted all other options for housing? This should be a 'temporary" residence of LAST resort...
My wife and I owned a building that was located directly across the street from one of Camp Quixote's locations...There is little concern by the churchs or city hall for the businesses...The rights of these few Camp Quixote residents are put above tax paying, job creating residents.
I am not insensitive to the plight of the homeless, if they truly are.
I am opposed to supporting those that have made a "lifestyle" choice and are making a political statement.
Permanent tent cities are not the answer when they impact businesses nearby...We must balance the needs of those that have become homeless by circumstances outside their control and taxpaying citizens.
How about 10 acres outside of Othello?
