In Victoria, we allowed a bunch of squatters (no, they were not all homeless people) to create campground on about an acre of land next to the courthouse.  6 months later, they got booted out. The city taxpayer was left with a $350,000 bill to clean up the "environmental" mess left by these squatters. Now, we have a beautiful kids playground, next to the place where numerous felons with Court Orders to be X meters away from children cannot legally attend court unless they are prepared to breach the Court Order.  How much will it cost to take down the new park??????    Our country has become  a hellhole of political animals who cannot think straight, or manage ANYTHING.  Is it ANY surprise that the solution to EVERY problem is to take more money from taxpayers???  Is there EVER  a time when existing budget items can be removed, for other priorities, just like a regular person does when they don't have an endless pot of money??? politics, and ignorance of the public are ruining society.
