"More than four in 10 arrests by Miami Beach police in 2024 were of homeless people amid the city's crackdown on outdoor sleeping and escalating efforts to get people off the streets."
"The effects are noticeable in some tourist-heavy areas of South Beach. Along the Lincoln Road shopping mall, only a handful of homeless people were visible Wednesday evening in an area that had previously seen high concentrations of homeless individuals."
"Miami Beach officials have sought to discourage homeless people from gathering on Lincoln Road, including by deactivating electrical outlets to prevent people from charging their phones."
"One day it disappeared," said Silveira, 65. "They cleaned up the city."
