“It wasn’t that long ago that I was part of the community,” said Gutowski, sitting at a picnic table in a park about a mile from her old house. “But the more I’m out here, the more angry I get. … They’re not trying to make things better for us, or help us have another shelter, or keep us safe — or help us even medically or mentally. They’re just trying to push, push, push until we give up and say, ‘Fine, I’ll leave town.’”

    You can’t live in this apartment, you can’t afford rent.

    You can’t park your car here, no parking.

    You can’t sleep on the street, it’s illegal.

    Just disappear into the woods where you came from, homeless people. You’ll make your way back to Tir na nog!
