Karen Uhlich just proposed to use Tucson’s parks for homeless camps. This is absolutely a naive as well as nonsensical idea to assist the homeless. Not only does it not solve the problem, but it also perpetuates it. This is a Band-aid that makes the problem worse.
Our kids already cannot use Tucson Parks because they are overrun with homeless. When is the last time Karen had as much concern for the taxpayers and business owners as she does for the homeless? When will we have local politicians develop plans that actually help the homeless instead of creating a smokescreen that does little more that create a headline in the newspaper?
