If you come to my home and say you have to leave for whatever reason, I'm not going to leave. And this population feels the same way. This is my neighborhood, and I've told them that they just happen to have I have a corner in my neighborhood. And I love them very much, and I know Jamie loves them very much. And what they want is the sanctioned idea of encampment, and I would ask the committee to really reconsider that.
