With all due respect, why should I believe you? I tried and tried to find the ordinance specifically banning sleeping in a car of a driveway or private lot with permission and I can't find it. You claim to not have time, yet you have time to send me a link that is almost entirely unrelated to the issue.

If you're as knowledgeable as you say you are, please link the source and prove me wrong. I will 100% accept that I'm wrong if you would just send me the proof.

I don't care if you believe me. But I'm right.

That's fine.

Just know that did my part while you refuse to do yours. I met my burden of proof, and i even tried to meet your burden of proof while you refused to do so. I did my research and literally can't find anything that backs up your claim, it's obvious that you had the same problem otherwise you would have linked the ordinance rather than an unrelated article.

I very very much respect homelessness advocates and the work that is done, thats why I was very open to hearing your side and being proven wrong. With that said, "one of springfields leading homelessness advocates" should be able to ACTUALLY ADVOCATE for the homeless. I, who has no history in homelessness advocacy or city ordinances, was able to navigate the related ordinances and send them to you pretty quickly. Not that it's hard, it was easy. You, one of springfields leading homelessness advocates who claim to already have knowledge of springfield ordinances, isn't able to do half that??? And yes, you had time to reply to my comments with multiple of your own, so you had time to look up the ordinance if you wanted to.

This is why I have absolutely 0 reason to believe you.

No hard feelings. Have a good day and keep fighting the good fight.
