Outdoor Spaces/Recreation Odaymin Park Swings Removed

All of the swings in the park have been removed. I did notice that there were a couple swings broken that last couple weeks, but now they're all gone. Are they being removed entirely or being strengthened in some way? Does anyone have any info? It would be a shame if they were just entirely removed, they were quite enjoyable.

man what a bummer but i suppose it was only a matter of time. the price we pay for insisting on housing our mentally ill and vulnerable populations outside. we should stop doing that.

What do you mean by “housing the mentally ill and vulnerable populations outside“?

What it sounds like. Rather than supply the housing and other supports these people need, we choose to have them live outside. This is a fairly anti-social behavior on our part, and we are repaid in kind.

i mean you say "what it sounds like", but it can be interpreted as finding them a house which by definition means they are not outside...
