What does that gotta do with it?

I've seen parents birthday parties litter with their kids and not pick up afterthemselves

Would we promote banning kids from parks? No (well reddit would it has that sorta brainrot)

One weekly event does not make a trash filled park, if anything the park is kinda the point of these sorta spaces

Edit: just realized this isn't the burrito brigade which is weekly, this is a daily breakfest group..

Hmm... maybe doing it in rotating park locations might be better 🤔

Well these people aren’t kids at all birthday party, a lot of them have mental health issues and drug addictions they make it dangerous to walk through the park. It would be better to give the burritos out near the mission or a safer place.

Did they spend a million dollars to clean up some toddlers birthday party recently? I must of missed that. Were there rapes and assaults to go with that kids birthday party. If I remember right, that is what it took to finally chase the people who turned Washington-Jefferson Park into an environment hazard out. The spend a million dollars and close it for a year to finally get it cleaned up last time.

Are you talking about during the covid lockdowns when they made it into a mandatory camp?

It is totally on the city for not maintaining Law and Order and cleanliness, on a space they owned and provided.

This is also on the cops who were down a work stoppage during the time (and still are tbh) because they only got a budget increase of 13 percent instead of the 20 they wanted and cried because they didn't get to buy their fancy lil decommosioned tank. The thin skinned lil bitches.

No, it was back during that Occupy movement when they took over the park. Then everyone and their rapist and assaulting brother and sister came down and created an environmental hazard that took over a million dollars to clean up. They had dump trucks taking and bring soil to that section of the park on the South side of it all. That area between 5th and 6th was closed for about a year.

so you are comparing a political protest to a breakfast feeding group?

like really?

u/Zaliukas-Gungnir Sep 25 '24

If they cause damage to the community, yes. Damage to the community is damage to the community. Just like rape is rape and murder is murder and theft is theft. Call it what it is. It shouldn’t matter if it is political, religious or something else.

I regret wasting my brain cells engaging with you

I have precious few of them left and somehow you have even fewer than myself.

Murder is only murder if you don't do it slowly and overtime so everyone thinks it's just natural causes. Stop the gangstalking!

u/HurryImaginary2132 Sep 25 '24

Slow kill weapons or death by 1000 paper cuts ( that's what i call that) Studies have shown stressors do cause immunity weakening allowing all sorts of possibilities to occur that seem like " natural causes" .. Murder does double life insurance pay outs ,although ! As long you get the conviction. Smoking does saves lives you see ..in some cases..

1

u/blowholesushi Sep 25 '24

Yeah exactly and people are just going along with it. Must be getting paid well to continue doing it. How does murder double life insurance policies? Please explain? Smoking saves lives because the life insurance policy isn't worth as much?

u/HurryImaginary2132 Sep 25 '24

I was being sarcastic.. but I've heard on one of them horrible day time investigation shows talking about certain things pay accordingly to their agreement...Ive never had one except when companies have provided them like in construction jobs ....and worst fear is a stranger or somebody 3rd party a policy on me ,unkownly. Smoking prolly makes it void or uninsurable.🤔🍹🍻

Mantaining Law and Order through Eugene Parks and Open Spaces is ridiculous, Parks and Open Spaces is responsible for cleaning the restrooms and maintaining the landscape and plant life through property tax dollars.

They are not responsible for cleaning up heroine needles, picking up garage outside of the garbage can, nor hosing down restrooms of feces and period blood.

But that’s what they’re having to do.

The City owns it, but property tax owners pay for it. We also pay for the police force.

No one seems to understand historical and demographic perspective, and how most of the people in Eugene aren’t actual property owners.

It doesn’t help that SF is shipping their homeless to Oregon with bus tickets.

Yeah you’re right, Homeless do act like little children now that you said it.

This state is so fucked when it’s constituents compare a 5 year old’s birthday party in the park to a group of disgruntled homeless. Wake the fuck up

The park next door has a table families often eat at and pretty much every time I walk by there's food/trash around it from messy kids or parents who just don't give AF. Last time there was french fries all over along with some fast food trash. There's also a trash can very close but it doesn't seem to help.

Seems like there has to be some simple solution aside from "don't use the parks", and yes it's definitely not just homeless folks who litter in parks.

Maybe they should ban McDonald’s then? /s

Or I dunno. Maybe just a blanket ban on throwing trash on the ground that applies to everyone 🤯

u/uhgletmepost Sep 24 '24

It is called littering that is already a thing just hardly enforced when Cops are busying wanking off at proud boy rallies

3

u/TelepathicTiles Sep 24 '24

That was kinda my point. Lmao! You think they take turns licking each other’s boots, or do you think it’s more of a 69 type bootlicking situation? Lol

1

u/Moarbrains Sep 24 '24

would you like cops to hang out at the park giving people luttering tickets?

I mean that might work on the types who pay tickets.

u/uhgletmepost Sep 24 '24

They said make it illegal, I'm telling them it already is lol

I could see a "leave our parks how you found them" sorta buzz weeks but I would not want meter maid type of position focused on such things, but I could see such during 4th of July type weekends.

u/Warthog_Orgy_Fart Sep 25 '24

I mean, I wish I could have the same complacency at my job that cops have at theirs. They absolutely should be ticketing people for littering. It’s illegal right? It’s up to the judge and the courts what happens after they’re ticketed. Whether they’re going to pay or not has no bearing on whether or not a police officer should do their job.

u/Moarbrains Sep 25 '24

Talk about complacency and then talk about assigning the most useless of work. You should probably take a ride along sometime.

u/Musiclover4200 Sep 25 '24

Or I dunno. Maybe just a blanket ban on throwing trash on the ground that applies to everyone 🤯

The point is it's not just homeless people who litter, we clearly need better enforcement of littering fines as well as calling people out when they litter. The park I'm talking about would resemble a homeless camp if not for the considerate people cleaning up after others and it has pretty much 0 homeless presence.

Also I agree with the posts that giving out food from places like churches makes the most sense but using parks once a week really shouldn't be such a problem. It shows just how extreme the housing/homeless issues have gotten.

u/TelepathicTiles Sep 25 '24

100%. I was agreeing with you. I was literally cleaning up a huge pile of trash one time on 8th and Monroe and some douchebag in a truck drove by and threw a cup at me and told me to get a job and called me a bum. The ironic thing is that I was on my home from a ten hour shift. I just happened to already have a bunch stuff in the back of my truck that was going to the dump and thought I’d help out a little. I guess that’s only loosely related to what we are talking about here though. It’s just that there are so many straight up morons in this town.

u/Musiclover4200 Sep 25 '24

Yeah a significant chunk of trash around town is from people who toss stuff out their windows or just can't be bothered to find a trashcan when walking around.

The homeless issue has obviously gotten a lot worse over the years but it feels like this sub has such a hate boner for them that people won't admit that a lot of the litter is from inconsiderate assholes which includes plenty of non homeless people.

Ultimately littering is a symptom of other issues and not something unique to the homeless, and it won't improve until we improve the housing situation & have better enforcement around littering.
