Let's assume for a moment that these people do not want help. Can they simply camp forever on the school grounds or can the city do anything? Isn't there a health issue? What is the purpose of making the kids wear masks at recess, if the unvaccinated temporarily displaced population they share the playground with is not wearing masks or even just pooping on the ground in corners.

I don't think that's a great assumption. They may not want exactly what we want but most people can be reasoned with. They will be more willing to see things from our point of view if we're willing to see things from their point of view.

Also, I think the issue from public health is defecation, if they don't have somewhere to go, not COVID if they are outdoors / not in direct contact with kids. In fact, someone avoiding shelters is probably less likely to pick up COVID.[/quote]

I think you should go test your theories.  Go over to the tents and actually try to engage in a civilized neighborhood discussion about boundaries and compromise and then report back and tell us how it went . . . .[/quote]

I do talk people in my neighborhood.  Not everyone is 100% there and there are a few who I won't engage with, but you might be surprised how far genuine respect and care will go.[/quote]
