This isn't Phoenix or SF for that matter. The temperature drops to -7C in the winter.
Will the city take the blame when these people all freeze to death because the city officially allowed them to play camp as part of some sociological experiment?
Unfortunately, the responsible thing - building a shelter - is overlooked by cities because shelters have rules. Like no drug use - which in some confusing twist of logic is perceived as cruel.
It's also bothersome that these articles find the one or two people genuinely down on their luck - unable to find work and the like. It makes for biased reporting. The 80/20 rule applies here. I guess the ones pooping on the BART and babbling gibberish are hard to interview.
