5. They'd rather create a wasteland for everyone to live in than deal with why people are homeless...

Here's a news flash for Lakewood: acting upon the recommendation of the Police Dept was extremely fucking stupid. Cops don't know how to solve shit when it comes to homelessness.

Cutting down those trees won't make all of the homeless people go away, but it will make you look like assholes, and make your town square look like a particularly ugly parking lot. Good job.
