To mayor and city council, I could not believe the manager of public safety would even think about building more tent cities in Prince George.
Talk about public safety – he should be thinking about the safety of the businesses and the people living in the Bowl. What about our safety and the people that have to pay taxes to keep this city going?
There should not be anybody living on this city property or any other city property and to even to plan more tent cities is crazy.
Who is looking after the garbage? What is there for toilets in the unwanted city-owned campsite? Who is responsible?
Why is it Prince George’s problem to have to look after the homeless from here there and everywhere? There is no way we can provide suitable housing for all the people coming here.
The manager of public safety should be thinking about a solution to help the problem, not create more problems.
I went to the farmers market on Saturday and across the street on the corner I nearly stepped in a dump of human waste and you can’t even walk on the sidewalk in some places. What we need is a vagrancy bylaw and we need to send the unhoused people back to wherever they came from.
We need to take our city back.
Prince George has become a dumping ground for all of the other communities that have chosen not to do their part.
What about our police and our hospital? They are overwhelmed. What about our ambulance? We have sirens going steady and some people have had to wait two hours to get an ambulance.
I care about the city I was born in and it makes me sad to see how its being destroyed with this problem.
