Description
A person has been living in Edgewood Park, in a tent on the bank of the West River across from Center Pond. He has been there for 2 months now. He should be moved before he freezes to death and so other park users can use the area.

Hey (Guest)
Is this man or woman living out in their little tent in the woods really disrupting your life? Does this person's tiny encampment out in the woods truly reduce the quality of anyone's lives? Obviously this person might be experiencing some other serious problems in their life if they've resorted to this as their home, so why take even this away from them?
I'm not aiming to insult or demean you or anyone who has also written in here hoping to remove this squatter, but instead I'm genuinely trying to ask you how it negatively affects any of your (or anyone's) lives. Have you seen this person doing any other illegal, dangerous activity? Such as drinking in the park, taking drugs, bothering/pestering other people in the park? If not, I'm just not sure I understand why this bothers you and why you find it necessary to have the person removed.
I understand it may seem perhaps unfair to you to see someone else squatting or "free-loading" (whatever you'd like to call it) while you have to work and pay rent/mortage and taxes for your home, but we don't everything about this person's situation. As you said, they could freeze to death out there in this cold Connecticut winter weather. So it's likely that whatever situation they're in is pretty rough if they've resorted to fighting off the cold in a tent out in the woods in a public park. So, if this person has not been doing anything to endanger or bother others, why give him more trouble? If he indeed HAS been seen drinking or using drugs or pestering other people in the park, then that's another issue, and I would understand wanting him to leave the park, but I have not heard anything of that sort, at least not yet.
Like I said, I'm not trying to demean or insult anyone who has commented on this page, I just want you to ask yourself how this man or woman sleeping out in the woods in their tent is truly reducing the quality of anyone's life. And also, consider the problems this person already has under their belt. Being homeless is hard.
