"City ­officials could look to build ­minihouses, expand an emergency car camping program"

Personally I have no interest in turning Springfield into another Whittaker or west Eugreen.  Don't even think about it.  I have enough trouble right now with homeless and druggies on the bike path that runs east to west.  We have to call the police to roust drunken bums and have recently stated finding syringes tossed in our yard and along that bike path.  All the street camping, mini homes and "rest stops" will do is bring more problems!  There are help wanted signs all over Eugreen and Springfield, force these people into taking jobs by not catering to them.  Invite St. Vinnies and the Salvation Army to explore low income housing in Springfield.  

Please don't follow Eugreen's failing model for dealing with the problem.
