Reminds me of the Wall street protests in New York city. A massive amount of tents sprung up then the homeless thought it was a great place to live. So many complaints from the rich people that lived in the area. I think it was the mayor Bloomberg that gave the order to say camping out on city streets is illegal to the NYC cops. The sanitation department came with front end loaders and a dump truck. They scooped up all the tents and garbage then dumped into a dump truck. The homeless were told where the dump was if they wanted to get their possessions. If any new tents sprung up they were removed too. Guess what? The homeless disappeared too.
Bloomberg was a moderate sane liberal and NY now has nothing but radical liberals running the city. It's a hell hole now. San Francisco should bull doze their filth away too instead of giving them $800 a month in cash and free cell phones. Glad to see Venice is removing the trash too. Being homeless is a life style for 90% of them. They weren't here in these numbers 20-30 years ago.
