Lynn, While I'm not a big fan of the fences, some of us are getting awfully tired of cleaning up the mess left behind by the drug-addled subset of the homeless. 

In my opinion, it's cruel to allow these squalid informal camps, especially when they become permanent zones of barbarism. Surely you read the story about the two children who gunned people down in Seattle's Jungle? Just so you know, the camps at the WJ park also have children with drug-addicted parents.
