The tragic death of Cornelius Taylor has sparked anger from homelessness advocates who assert that the city’s decision to clear the encampment was dangerously misguided.
Witnesses reported that the bulldozers were indiscriminately removing tents without ensuring that those inside had vacated, which led to the unfortunate outcome of this incident.
Mayor Andre Dickens expressed deep sorrow over the incident and committed to reviewing the city's processes to prevent similar occurrences while addressing homelessness.
Activists from the Housing Justice League emphasize that the residents of the encampment deserved dignity and should not have been treated as obstacles to public events.
