Opinion: City council puts wellbeing of homeless first

"I am very upset with you all as none of you have any respect for the safety and wellbeing of the taxpayers living in the Millar and Connaught areas."

The northwest entrance into the Lower Patricia encampment, named Moccasin Flats by residents, is seen on May 9, 2023.

To mayor and council, I do not know why I keep writing as I don’t think any council members even read my letters.

I am very upset with you all as none of you have any respect for the safety and wellbeing of the taxpayers living in the Millar and Connaught areas. You put the wellbeing of the homeless from who-knows-where first.

People would speak out but are afraid of being attacked. Why are you putting all the problems in one area? The taxpayers living in the area should be able to have a say and voice their concerns. I will remind you there are two schools in the area, which means children, and lots of seniors.

You should be concerned about the safety of the residents living in the area. Who is going to take responsibility if something happens? You need to talk to us and assure us you are not going to turn our lovely area into a slum.
