or .itty 3iercy says she Zants
the city to have a conversation
about younJ vaJabonds oc
cupyinJ public spaces doZn
toZn.
The mayor sent an email
to the city manaJer and coun
cilmembers sayinJ she doesn¶t
Zant socalled “travelers´ taN
inJ over public spaces. 6he
said she¶s not MudJinJ people
by their looNs or lifestyle but
Zants public spaces to be for
everyone to use.
“, don¶t Zant travelers ac
tually controllinJ, livinJ on
our corners, our plazas, our
public spaces,´ she Zrote. “,
Zelcome them to use them
as , Zould e[pect every
one else to do. And , Zant
benches and invitinJ places
for all the public to freely use.”
3iercy tells The ReJis
ter*uard that the travelers
have chosen a lifestyle of
movinJ from place to place.
6he says they¶re different than
a traditional homeless popula
tion.
3iercy said she Zrote the
messaJe to prompt discussion
amonJ &ouncil and city staff
about the topic, Zhich could
lead to a conversation Zith the
public.
,t¶s unclear Zhat (uJene
could do to prevent people
from sittinJ in public places.
Local ordinances prohibit
people from blocNinJ side
ZalNs, but courts have ruled
as unconstitutional local laZs
that ban loiterinJ, panhandlinJ
and other behaviors common
amonJ homeless people and
travelers.
