As someone who experienced homelessness firsthand, the ordinance to "ban public camping" hits close to home for me ("City council delays vote on prohibiting public camping," Sept. 5). I've been fortunate enough to rise from poverty and become a successful community member and homeowner. However, when I was a child, my family lived in a homeless shelter. When I was 5 years old, I saw my own mother die, right here in Springfield, from a preventable medical condition. Like so many others, she lacked access to secure housing and basic health care services. That cycle of poverty and neglect is something no family should endure. The ordinance to ban public camping Is a slap in the face to the memory of my mother and feels like an effort to criminalize homelessness. It's not just draconian, but personally devastating.
