These really aren’t the type of tourists we need Jim. Every summer, after the Country Fair, it takes the city six weeks to clear out the illegal street campers parked in our neighborhood. They invariably leave mounds of garbage and excrement along the curbs and sidewalks for others to clean up.

In Eugene we already have more than our share of native counter-culture bums without recruiting drug impaired riffraff from other communities.
