This area has been an epicenter for problems for years. There have been several fired started by the homeless, there were boobie traps set up that the fire department had to deal with when fighting those fires. There have also been several crimes committed including assaults and this shooting. I applaud the work that has been done to find housing and services for the people at the encampment. Bringing it from 60 people to 10 has been great, however it is time to clean the area completely and move the remaining campers out.. It is obviously not a safe place for people to be, the city owes it to the people in the encampment and to the neighbors that have been impacted by the fires and crime to clean it up and prevent the camp from being re-established.
