In January, a 29-year-old man died after catching on fire in a city park next to the library and the temporary shelter. Police said they believe the victim had an “accelerant” on his clothes and caught fire after he lit a cigarette.

            My deepest apologies, Beaverton. I know how badly y’all wanna be your own thing. Especially when it comes to dehumanizing others over perceived property value and pearl-clutching bullshit. Thanks for supporting my point, trog.
