Fencing off the Parks from the Homeless

by Keith McHenry
Fencing off the parks from the homeless before the city of Santa Cruz shuts down the Boneyard Camp where some of those without housing had been living under city supervision for the past several months. Shelter space also cut just before the cold rains come. Total war against the poor. Maybe we should retake City Hall.

Welcome to the new Parks & Rec Director Tony Elliot
by Trip Weir
Thanks, Santa Cruz voters! Now the city can't keep public parks open, can't keep a public bathroom open and they expect everyone to vote for Measure H with hundreds of millions in new taxes for "affordable housing" projects. Sure bet.
by Pat Colby
Are they planning on laying off the park workers? If they have nothing to do then they will lose their jobs as well. This cruelty has impacts in so many ways. This city is so corrupted. Fire the director—reopen the parks!
