The other day I went to take some garbage to the transfer station on Gladys and was greeted by some people who didn’t work there.

They told me that it wasn’t a trash dumping site and got pretty angry with me.

After some back and forth about the whole camp thing going on, they informed me that housing is a right.

I disagreed with them and tried to explain to them why they are wrong. If housing is a right, why do I pay rent and why do others pay a mortgage?

I explained that housing is a privilege, like driving. You have to work for it, earn it, pay for it, and respect it. If you don’t do those things then you lose it.

I’m fed up with these people and their attitude!

They are costing taxpayers thousands of dollars and not giving anything back.

It’s time to put an end to this “protest” of theirs!
