(Really, you need an issue category called: "Homeless Campsite".) Despite the proximity of Dignity Village, several bedsites with sleeping bags, clothing, etc. have now appeared on the EAST side of the ditch beside the Waldo Rail/Trail. These are visible from the trail. It is across the street from the area between Nature's Own store and ABC roofing supplies. This whole corridor has become a suburb of Dignity Village and the Grace Marketplace. Sometimes, almost every bench along the trail is occupied by sleepers, loafers, and drinkers. It's a shame that this well-intentioned effort to provide a place to feed and house the homeless has been ignored by some who insist upon creating their own campsites elsewhere.
