I do not have <br />to work until Wednesday of this week so perhaps tomorrow morning would be a good time. It would be easier <br />for you to just cancel the restriction without making me attend a hearing on the west side since I am a student <br />mostly in the 97403 zip code. I have been a resident of Oregon since before 2003 is a good indication that if <br />these restrictions are for people just passing through Oregon briefly the restriction should not be placed on my <br />occupancy of the park. Also refusing the right of the public to the public lands in this city that live without legal <br />access to residences for anything more than use as houseguests due to laws against trespassing and in support of <br />lease agreements/rental contracts is inappropriate because that leaves the public without space to occupy in city <br />limits even while we are, as the public, employed and enrolled in credit coursework in city school(s) outside of <br />workplace and school even though we need places to occupy outside of those places during our time off in the <br />city. <br /> <br /> I find this to be a sort of discrimination which regularly displaces me from the places I occupy in public <br />spaces after an eviction from my permanent residence in this city has left me without recourse other than public <br />lands especially without the issuance of a rent refund of funds rendered in exchange for that residence. Please <br />stop the police and courts from continuing from trying o completely displace me from the city of Eugene with <br />restrictions/trespassing charges as that appears to be a mistreatment of me as a credit student and employed <br />person that needs/wants to work and study in this city. <br /> <br /> <br /> Please consider repealing, cancelling, or removing the unlawful restriction preventing me from <br />occupying the Knight Library while I am still a credit student enrolled in four credits and a city resident of the <br />City of Eugene that should remain accessible to me in those instances that I stated in accordance with my just <br />right to equal privilege as all other residents/credit students. Along with the restriction on the Alton baker park <br />the other restriction should be lifted as long as they were issued simply because I had slept in those places while <br />I could not sleep in the permanent residence from which I was evicted. It has been made public knowledge that <br />sleeping is not a crime. That I as an adult should have equal rights as babies and children that sleep in the park <br />and outside of it even at school during a naptime while I need sleep for my own health in order to remain <br />conscious during activities that require consciousness such as work and movement. Please do not allow me to <br />be displaced by the police from public resting places I use between activities with restrictions and trespassing <br />charges anymore. Allow me to lay and rest in the public places that are available for the public to stop moving <br />in and just sit or lay in a way that prevents emaciation and exhaustion. Let us know factually that sleeping is not <br />a crime and not against any park rules/school rules by cancelling the restrictions on those public places in which <br />I have slept. Do not pretend along with the police that us laying down a dry clothe before laying on the ground <br />to sleep, as in a tarp, on public lands is illegal since we need that for our cleanliness and health, that being dry <br />space on which to lay a blanket to rest in/on. <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />
