Homeless activist Barbara Riverwomon in the San Jose Mercury News, April 3, 1996, commenting on a plan to shelter homeless people in state parks around Santa Cruz:

One of the intriguing things about this plan is that it will create a truly integrated community, with rich people as neighbors to the poorest. They will all be sitting around open campfires, living in tents and delighting together at the beautiful trees and ocean and bird songs. Is it so wrong to take a tiny step in the direction of a society which I think all of us secretly dream of? It's worth a few bumps in the road.
