More than two months later and the number of camps and volume of garbage is increasing.

Tonight the temperature is forecast to drop to 27 degrees and yet the number of people living here has increased. While government officials toast each other at holiday parties this cruelty continues.

After 421 days since I originally filed this report, and still no action taken, I am weary of being reminded of the lack of response with an automated "Thank you for reporting" email every month. Therefore I am closing the issue, even though the problem remains and in fact is growing. How city officials can in good conscience continue to collect their salaries astounds me.
