“Everybody gets along. It’s nice,” Huston said. “There’s places out here that you can go. We just don’t know if it’s safe or not.” At last Tuesday’s council meeting, Vice Mayor Desrie Campbell asked city staff about the camp Huston stays at, and wondered whether residents were offered permanent or temporary housing.
