For the record:
The Mayors office has bent over backwards trying to come up with solutions to the Springwater conundrum.
These teams in the mayors office, together with the outreach organizations, have been searching for publicly owned land to create situations like Ms Singleton was talking about.
THE CITY COMMISSIONERS HAVE BLOCKED US AT EVERY TURN!!!
Want somebody to be pissed at? Take a look at Amanda Fritz and Nick Fish, for starters.
Due to the checks and balances we have built into our government, no branch or department is able to move unilaterally,  and we are frozen.
I will also say that the Houseless Initiative Team have gone above and beyond.
One final thought: we, the organizations, are pretty tired of trying to work through this system. One of the joys of being free is not being afraid of the government.
Our ire grows daily, but it isn't irritation at Hales office-
We are annoyed at the commissioners! !
