Hovie Hawk, one of the founders of the new “Keep Ballard Friendly” campaign emailed us to say that the campaign is refining its efforts.
Hawk writes: I wanted to let you know that thanks to the great comments and suggestions we got from MyBallard.com readers, we’ve refined our campaign to be less homeless specific. We realized that although many of the issues affecting Ballard involve homeless people, it was unfair to place so much of the blame on their shoulders. After all, if any person (rich or poor, homeowner or homeless) is drunk and disorderly or sleeping on the street, it creates a problem that should be reported.
