lynn, i'm afraid, with the best of intentions,  we will have illegal messy camps because some people just don't care. they like it.  it's a big middle finger to the world.   and i don't buy into it's the communities RESPONSIBILITY to enable the homeless - ie:  my responsibility as a taxpayer. i pick and choose what i do with my limited resources and limited energy.  as to legal/illegal messy camps - i still remember the mountains of trash in the aftermath of the supported "whoville" a couple years ago.
