Breakfast Brigade, a homeless outreach group, is asking the City council tonight to restore its special use permit which allowed them to serve meals at Washington Jefferson Park four days a week. What say you?

This type of organization can't afford to own or rent property so public space is the only space available. How does a person eating a burrito make the park hard to use?

Last time I walked through the park (using the outer walkway) during burrito brigade I was charged by a 120+lb dog, then assaulted by a group of 3 transients after yelling at the owner to grab his dog instead of literally beating him across the face while the dog was still within a foot of me.

The burrito brigade then told me to stop causing trouble and go away without asking if I was ok.

Just want to clarify - it is Breakfast Brigade, not Burrito Brigade which is a different nonprofit.

Either way it was more brigade and less breakfast burrito. I feel safer in the alleyways downtown at night than I do in our parks in broad daylight.
