[quote=Anonymous]I think the problem is that the homeless shelters have had to close or lower their capacity due to COVID. So the police can't clear out the tent cities because there is nowhere for those individuals to go. Pre-pandemic, there were definitely fewer encampments and the city cleared them out every few months. Honestly, I am pretty liberal and I know this is a complex problem, but I don't think allowing tent cities to flourish is a good option. In LA, they have big semi-permanent tent cities on skid row and in other places, and it's a dangerous place for both passers-by and residents, with crime and outbreaks of cholera and hepatitis from the unsanitary conditions.
