No On 302 Solutions Not Safe Zones

11/09/2023

Opponents of the Safe Zones 4 Kids ballot measure have argued that residents should be debating ways to reduce homelessness rather than moving homeless people further out of sight. The opposition campaign, Solutions Not Safe Zones, said it sought to try to drive a wider conversation about homelessness.

“The policy of sweeping people who have no other options does not make anyone safer,” the organizers said in a statement conceding defeat. “Months from now, when 302 inevitably fails to deliver on its promises — when Boulder residents experience no appreciable change in our perception of public safety — we’ll need to have something beyond a mythical ‘safe zone’ to show our children.”

The measure affirms a city policy to clear our encampments of homeless people. It also sparked a broader conversation around homelessness.

NEW in the Daily Camera: Three former Human Relations Commissioners speak out on Measure 302 / Safe Zones 4 Kids

"We can lose ourselves in the details of which city departments absorb what costs of the encampment displacements at the heart of this ballot measure, but this distracts us from more pressing realities and more salient questions. The way we vote is a public expression of our values: How will we choose to respond to increasing housing insecurity, increasing precarity, increasing homelessness? How do we keep one another safe in those conditions? What need is a person trying to fill, for example, with a propane tank at an encampment? And what are we going to do about it?"

How much bigger of a diameter will finally be the right size for the “safe zone”?

No amount of time or money will satiate this need to keep people moving who have nowhere to go. This is exactly what’s wrong with enforcement-only approaches.
