Everyone has a way of splitting the hairs & going "but, but, but". The bottom line is that it is not the responsibility of Walmart or the city of Whitehorse to provide accommodation to any of these people who are effectively squatters.
Camping at Walmart for days prevents access for Walmart shoppers. Camping on the side of Whitehorse streets prevents access to Whitehorse businesses & residents.
Again I am a Walmart overnighter, though never in Whitehorse. I come in late afternoon, park away from the store, slides out & all, go in & get what I need, check with the duty manager or somebody, get some sleep & gone in the not too early morning. What I do is what the typical Walmart overnighter does. I leave without a trace of being there.
I don't have an answer. Perhaps a large area of mostly level ground exists somewhere in the Whitehorse area that these people can use.
