Not in My Backyard... or My Community Park, Either!
Jake and Chris stare uncomfortably at the privilege they experience every time they leave their houses, never worrying about whether the place will be there when they get back.
Far more than just a roof overhead, it is everything those structures conjure up for them. Feelings of safety, security and relaxation - a place of one’s own - to organize and set up as they see fit.
Most of their housed neighbours (or neighbors) feel the same way but, unsurprisingly, that does not extend to the unhoused community members living in tents at local parks and green spaces.
Communities want “their” parks back; unhoused neighbours want dignity, safety and respect – and shelter.
