I have a question: Did anyone announce, before they took up residence somewhere, that they were going to and where? I was under the impression that everything here was free, as long as it didn't belong to someone else first.

Yes, I have.

I'm not saying he can't stay there. I don't want to know the why; it's not my business. I'm saying I think he should let them know he'll be there. A simple "Hey, I'm using this space." so people don't wonder what's going on and they can work out any problems it might cause.

My mom and I had to sleep in all kinds of spaces, when we were trying to hide from one of her violent johns or pimps or dealers.

We didn't do it because we thought we had a right to the space. We didn't think we were better than anyone else. I wanted to let people know what was going on, that we weren't a threat to them. But my mom thought if we talked to people, child services might take me. We didn't have all the options that people have here.

I was too young to understand why I couldn't be in my apartment anymore. All I knew was that someone could take everything away because they were bigger and stronger and more powerful. It was like with the park that we used to have in my town.

I'd like to think people are different here. That they'll talk to each other before taking anything away. That we can share our concerns and work things out together.

	Storefronts are one thing, parks are another. I get what you're saying, Maryanne, but little Izzy brought up a valid concern from her point of view. I don't see where anyone outside of the mystery woman thought he was committing a crime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She doesn't, does she? I've been getting that impression too. I think she's seeing it as a fairness issue, and a fairly black and white one. The area near campsite is off limits for her unless her mother says otherwise, and it's likely to be a long term occupation. it's a small piece of the park, but she's seeing it as possibly the first of many.

	I'd understand if it was the only park on the island, and if it was a small park. But it's not. She has to share the space with the memorial, and the lake, and other things. I hate to say it Izzy, but she reminds me of Angelica Pickles. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course. Anytime I do something that affects other people, I want to know if it's causing them concern. I live at the temple. I was invited to stay there. What else would you like to know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
