Some of the city’s unsheltered homeless people have set up their campsites along the Kansas River, where the budding trees will soon help obscure them from view. Others, though, seem to have decided the safest place to camp is out in the open. In Watson Park, a handful of tents are pitched among the park’s looping sidewalks. On Thursday afternoon, a jogger makes his rounds, people from the nearby neighborhood walk their dogs, and some of the tents’ occupants gather in the park’s gazebo. Among them is Roy Teal, neatly dressed and clean-shaven, who said he’s been homeless off and on for three years.
