Encampment sweeps aren't just about what's best for the homeless. It's about your right to live without an ongoing public nuisance on your block. Like needles. Trash. Feces. Open drug use. Screaming and fighting at 2 a.m. If you disagree, you probably don't have tents outside your door.
Instead of building on a strategy that works, we are returning to this failed approach to aggressively push out, cite and even arrest homeless individuals. And we have already seen its shortfalls as tents return the next day.
