    Sometimes it is necessary for public safety and sanitation reasons. The camp in that video certainly looked like a bonfire waiting to happen. The reality is though that this just moves the problem somewhere else. It is not like kicking them out magically creates a better, safer, warmer place for them to go to.

      It would be necessary for " public health and sanitary reasons" to help those people somehow. Not just, like you concluded, just shove the somewhere else. Or just disperse them.

      Sure, it might look like a bonfire, but none of those people probably actually WANTED this, if they’ve had the chance to voice their opinion.
