Ugh, what do you gain from being so pedantic?

Purpose of building the camps is to provide them housing and space to store their things, and away from the public areas that are not meant for that, like the bike trail and river bed. California city has plenty of cheap open space.

The fact that you believe that everyone must "gain" something from what they do or say speaks volumes.

Maybe you can answer some of these questions that have been asked by others contemplating homeless camps:

How will security be managed at the camp? Will there be a security company or police on duty at all times? Will there be a perimeter fence? Will homeless people be allowed to come and go as they please, or will there be a curfew? How will those comings and goings be managed? How will safety and security be enforced? And somewhat related: because the location is in a isolated, cut-off area, how will the new camp allow the loss of the more impromptu, difficult to identify “services” that come from living close to downtown, such as easy access to transit and places where you can walk to find something to eat?

You are the one splitting hairs about camps insinuating jailing homeless. You sound like the folks saying that 50% of illegals are visa overstay therefore the wall won't work.

My stance is nothing is owed to them, so I don't know nor care about those things. I'm not an urban planner, they can figure it out. Just because I or others don't have those answers to those questions doesn't mean it's a bad idea.

He/she gains points for virtue signaling.

Priceless.

I drove by the encampment yesterday and looks like progress is being made. There are a lot less tents and tarps.

They are forcing them out! Rejoice!

Set up a fund, I’ll contribute!
