No one is going hike through the middle of a homeles camp, or otherwise use/enjoy a space that is actively being lived-in by homeless people.

Encampments are DEFINITELY a "taking", because the exclude every other person from using that land.

So why are they still there

Because the politicians in charge want them there.

We literally have typhoid over here in California. They're predicting the plague (yes, the BLACK DEATH) next.

It's horrifying and I'm so, so angry that our leaders have allowed this.

By the way, I also wanted to point out that as much as people in DC love to wax lyrical about vaccines, the biggest reason for the significant drop in disease death rates was SANITATION, not vaccines. Now we're going back to the middle ages with filth in the streets and rats running around. It's infuriating.

Ugh.

We now have rats in our MoCo neighborhood. It wasn’t this way even 10 years ago.

And you should read some of the comments, accepting the fact that rats are now a way of life.

Our elected officials seem unable or unwilling to do much about anything

Yes, it was. You just didn't notice them. Really. Where there are people, there are rats.

I feel certain a lot more could be done about rats. A LOT more.
