Valuable input, thanks to all (with exception to the judgemental comments, of course, which are never beneficial to anyone).  I lived in Eugene for many years, I understand the culture very well, I love the Whit and so do my tenants, I did not buy the house with blinders on. Having said that, the burglaries, break-ins and urination in the front yard Are problems, and street camping contributes to the problem. It's noisy, there are no public restrooms, trash is left behind, and security is a very real concern. Allowing street camping does nothing to help the homeless. Until a solution can be found, at the minimum, a stronger police presence would be helpful.
