stop criminalizing the homeless

It is true that there is an encampment in the woods here. It is not true that there are actual safety issues on the East Raleigh Greenway. I have lived in the adjacent neighborhood, been involved in my local CAC and community watch, and walked this stretch of greenway pretty much every day for well over a decade; if there were actual safety issues I would be aware of them. It is important to distinguish between personal anxieties related to poor people and actual threats to public safety.

Is there any updates on this issue? Tents are visible from Greenway.

Yes homelessness is still an issue. Perhaps you should help them rather than criminalize them

I have continued to walk past the encampment every day, and my husband has added an evening bike ride past them because of pandemic boredom. We have not seen or experienced a single problem related to the encampment. If there are actually people living there (the land flooded badly in Isaias), they seem to be good neighbors.

Cool, how about you direct them to those services rather than using this site to report them which will undoubtedly lead to police physically removing them by force or jailing them during a pandemic.
