"As a result, we do not allow residential living in tents and under tarps on any private or municipal property throughout the community in an unregulated fashion," City Manager Jason Gage said in the letter. 

This is also enforced against people sleeping in cars. You can fault my sources, but this is absolutely the policy of this city.

I'm not faulting your sources and you know that. I'm faulting your communication of your sources which has regularly been inconsistent with what the source actually says. You did it once again with this source. I can't read it bc of the pay wall, but tarps and tents were specifically cited in your quotes while you added "enforced against people sleeping in cars" at the end.

If there really was a city ordinance banning sleeping in cars in private lots and driveways like you claim, you would've found that by now rather than sending me news leader articles and misquoting them. You obviously care that I believe you to an extent, so send me the ordinance that you claim exists.
