Living in a tent on your private property.

I don't see how the Council thinks the "concerns" over Public Safety will be solved with this tent bill. We had people living on our street in HPP in tin shacks for years. It took a whole year of calling the Police for screaming, drinking, fighting, etc.; calling the Health & Building Depts; and getting help from the Neighborhood Watch Community officer to get most of them out. Some still live there because they filed for a building permit in June of 2008. Nothing has been done with the permit to date. No one is checking up on their progress (or lack of). There is still no cesspool or toilets. There is still trash being thrown all over the roads. How the Council thinks the Building & Health Depts. are going to police these permits is beyond me!
