Finally some numbers from the City about "some" of the costs related to this tent city nonsense.

1.3 million a year just to clean up after these "city campers".

Way to go on wasting money! Keep it up!

Not to mention what the appeal(s) are going to cost, as well as what past litigation costs were. - Thu, 11 Jun 2009 9:27am

I'm not defending tent cities in public parks, but 1.3 million? I call bullshit!

I'll do it for a mere 1 million. - Thu, 11 Jun 2009 10:23am

But are tent cities really an answer to the homeless problem. DAJ may want to set up a tent at saint anne's, and that is a lifestye choice because he chooses to be homeless. Is setting up a tent the life choice of all who need to do it? I don't think so, and it's their needs that should be addressed, not some guy who just wants to make a fuss when he could just easily take himself out of the city area and set up a tent and live in it- but no- it just has to be near the downtown core for him. - Thu, 11 Jun 2009 10:48am

I dont think that 1.3mill. figure is out of whack at all. when you conisder how many people sleep in parks on grass; that eventually needs to be re-seeded(due to tents etc...), and all the garbage left behind; plus having to keep grooming the park year round making sure that these idiot campers dont defile our parks to make them look a mess. With the amount of park space we have; its not like 1 crew of 4 people could handle the task and keep the parks looking the way they do. Amoungst already maintaining the parks that aren't camped in.
So to Daj, and all his fans, FUCK YOU and YOUR STUPID CAUSE. - Thu, 11 Jun 2009 2:03pm

Paying union workers to deal with the maintenance of the parks is not cheap. 1.3 mill doesn't seem far fetched at all.

'Is setting up a tent the life choice of all who need to do it?'

Everything begins with a choice. The only homeless anyone should be concerned with are the displaced psych patients. Chose to do hard drugs and ended up homeless? Choice. Chose to get away from mommy and daddy's rules? Choice. Chose to be homeless, like DAJ, to make a point? Choice. You choose to fuck up your life? Bail your own ass out, don't expect society to do it for you. - Thu, 11 Jun 2009 2:31pm Edited: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 2:38pm

"it just has to be near the downtown core for him"

He would never go out to the bush cus how ells would he have access to ,free internet,free meals,free phone,free laundry,free showers,free concealing,free condoms,free needles and free doctors.And it's a long walk to the welfare office.The cause for the homeless is a good one to try and help but this guy is ridding on some kind of trip that he is going to change the wold.Hay DAJ let someone with the ability and the intelligence make a difference,you just reek of self deification.
Yesser it's dee i fication....not Defecation.I am Scottish but I don't have an accent. I am sure DAJ slept in some at one point in his life. - Thu, 11 Jun 2009 2:48pm Edited: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 2:55pm

Don't forget those costs don't even include police as the cops have to go into the camps before city workers are allowed to.
It takes a long time to clean these camps due to used syringes, feces and other biohazardous material that is left behind. The utmost care must be used to avoid injury or infection.
Also, the cost of disposal is not cheap. - Thu, 11 Jun 2009 5:03pm
