[quote=Anonymous]My guess is in the thick of covid cops were told not to enforce it - simply to avoid having to go up to these people. Yet now covid is getting to be in the rear view and cops still aren't being told to enforce it - prob because there aren't that many complaints from major employers etc. since hardly anyone is back in the office. And without said explicit instruction, cops don't want to deal with these people, so they leave it alone AND they probably do view the problem as too big.

But honestly pre covid there was a tent city under some bridge behind Union and that tent city WAS routinely dismantled and the city used to come in and clean those sidewalks w/ some sanitizing foam type thing. I remember this bc liberals would go on about how it's sooo unfair that they do this just to harass these people who then have to move out of that area (though they come back 1-2 days later; though apparently every time you disrupt a tent city like that, some % of people leave as they realize they'll never be left alone to live in that spot). Uh they're pissing and worse in the street, I'm glad someone is considering public health here.[/quote]
