The U.S. Park Police aim to enforce a 12 noon deadline Jan. 30 that was set by the National Park Service (NPS) to end all camping at McPherson Square near Freedom Plaza.
Rich Coffman, 42 from Dallas, Texas, has lived at the park for the past three weeks and calls the NPS move a little weird. "I can't sleep in the park, but I can sleep on the sidewalk," Coffman stated.
