Burien bans camping
Update: 2023-09-28
Description
Burien City Council took the latest step in its debate over how to respond to a camp of 40 unhoused people Monday. It banned camping in the city. There are no nearby shelters, which may make relocation difficult for 40 or so residents living outside.

If shelters aren't built and sweeps continue to happen, then overall housing affordability has to change. This NIMBY stuff is going too far. People need a place to sleep. You can't just keep throwing your hands up and telling them to figure it out when there are little-to-no resources available.
