I knew quite a bit about Mike Clark, having observed him at City Council meetings. I recall him saying a while back that he didn't understand why city government had to concern itself with the homeless. Apparently he thought some other government should do that, or maybe nobody. Every time the "rest stop" camps were brought up he harped on liability insurance, which raises the cost to the small nonprofit that run them, even though the city attorney said it wasn't necessary. He objected to the term "criminalization of homelessness" due to the camping ban and claimed that the city wasn't criminalizing homelessness, only "behavior". Which is ridiculous considering that the homeless have no choice but to camp, since there isn't enough legal shelter available. As with Hilary Clinton, sometimes experience is not the best recommendation.
