Just 18 days after Austin, Texas opened its sidewalks to campsites for the homeless, the city is swamped and its liberal citizens are howling. Greenwich’s prospective First Selectman Oberlander is determined to learn from Austin Mayor Steve Adler how he is dealing with his heartless citizens and squelching their protests.

“We are a town of compassion”, Oberland told FWIW, “and under my administration we will provide the most worthless among us with respect, decency and protection from bullying. If the campground we intend to establish for them in Belle Haven proves insufficient, I have no problem adding additional tents and kitchens at the High School and Binney Park. Inclusion will be our watchword”.
