I swear bro, we’re going to fix homelessness, just give me one more dozer sweep, bro, I swear it’ll work this time, bro I promise we won’t kill someone again, please, just one more dozer sweep it’s got to work this time
This isn’t even the first time something like this has happened. To my knowledge, this exact same thing happened in Modesto a few years ago. I sincerely doubt those are the only two. Dozer sweeps aren’t cheap, either; I’m pretty sure the city could just house these folks for whatever they’re paying to do the sweep. This is purely about flexing on our most vulnerable population.
I think this is one of those technically true things where a lot of the vacant homes are way out in the ass end of nowhere where you definitely wouldn’t want to displace somebody with no resources to.

there are enough vacant homes in the US to give every homeless person in America person 6 of them and have some spare.
