As I look around and see the various homeless folks camping under bridges, in parks, blocking bike paths, etc. I see nothing but disgusting garbage heaps. I see a huge mish-mash of tarps and tents, grocery carts, bicycle parts, bags and trash strewn everywhere. This is not a sight that commands respect, rather contempt. I understand homelessness, I have been homeless myself a few times over the years. But I retained the self respect to remain clean, neat, and orderly. Regardless of the circumstances, there is absolutely zero excuse for these trash piles. As long as these people seem intent on creating these situations, they will continue to be turned away and locked out. It is unfortunate the result impacts innocent users, but I understand PSU's position. They simply don't have the resources to constantly clean up after these abusers.
