Only A Monster Would Prohibit Sleeping During The Day

-

Even the most conniving of you is being duped. If you don't like 'tent-city' so much there are still ways out of your bind. The hardest part is going to be accepting that you have been acting criminally and humbly admitting it to the public. Truly, do not fret, the liberation of humility cures all shame.

Judge Ross did and does believe it is the city's purview to manage its public spaces and parks- to comply with the ruling you cannot have an across the board prohibition at any time. It would be good if we all sat down with a map. You can make rules saying no more than 4 tents in any area, allocate areas, making constructive and creative provisions for growth, and such... I know in the cluster I live in I could make our own compost toilet, though maintenance assistance will not be argued with. The city will take primary responsibility. That being so, I believe it would be wise of city council to adopt new zoning Bylaws that, when applied for, would offer private citizens a chance to house more than the CRD-type rules, about number of residents on a property, currently allow for.

Today, you are having put before you the suggestion that if you do not rescind the illegal Enforcement Policy and make just amends that you will be having charges brought against you. If you play it like that it will be in every newspaper in Canada and many throughout the world, that the Corporation of the City of Victoria is fighting for the right to prohibit sleep during the day. You cannot win this.

On a personal note- I will be initiating a chapter of Gardens Not Lawns to offer free labour and expertise to any 'land owners' interested in converting lawn into food growing gardens, as soon as I have my abode.

Victoria is about to become the most progressive city in the world, or the opposite.

in the most interesting of times,
