We have an open lot in my neighborhood and every week we have to call the police to remove homeless people who are setting up tents in it. It's not abandoned, it's owned by the two homeowners on both sides of it. They let kids in the area use it to play sports and people have cookouts there. We have to stay on top of it every day and call the police. Thankfully our local police are able to remove them before other homeless people start showing up. When you see a homeless person camped on the sidewalk in front of your home cal the police right away .really open lots aren't abandoned they are owned by someone so it's trespassing.

Hand warmers,going in and out of public buildings,firewood you can burn at park BBQ stands. Get some SNAP and EBT and you can live off of it. It obviously is no way to live though, it's brutal and tiring. And you have to be nocturnal.

Fentanyl 💊, popular blues, destroy humans beyond the point of repair. They are fentanyl addicts, and not capable of doing anything no matter how simple it is. They destroy any housing by puling wall wires out just to sell for fentanyl 💊. Or, they just set fires and watch it burning.

There are lots of them in Denver as well , I dob't worry about them freezing to death so much as I wonder how they don't die from diseases they catch by wiping with whatever they find , including their hands . I am glad I don't know the half of how they "live" ,all I can tell you if I was in their place I would sleep outside a restaurant , and beg for a job . The nice thing is , no one needs to beg , jobs are there for the taking . All you need is clean up , look presentable and WORK !!

@@adrianojames7903 maybe, but at least most homeless people know how to use commas and punctuation formatting correctly

[@tonyaduvall49]

Bravo finally people waking up that allowing this is just plain foolish and ignorant.

[@robjoemama2466]

It's heartbreaking to see so many homeless people, but at the same time some of them choose this life. There are resources in MN to help anyone in need. You just have to be serious about getting help, not just talk about it.

[@laurarr11711]

Do they have a place where the Homeless. can live . ? Did they give them that option.

[@Hugatree1]

Perhaps take them in at your place? Not my suggestion but this is the solution some city officials have put forth in California.

Damaged 3 homes. Destroyed 3 homes. They will be demolished.

The only way to address these open air drug markets is relentless, aggressive harassment of the people choosing to live this way.

[@tyasspage]

Damn that was behind my parents old house

[@dougcollins8232]

We house and feed illegal immigrants.

[@docink6175]

so they moved the people out and destroyed what belongings they had, that sounds unconstitutional, As bad as the homeless situation is they are still Americans with inalienable rights. All Im saying is give them time to pack up but thats not the way ANY city handles these situations

[@christinesoland922]

These are all my brothers and sisters that house owner paid someone to burn her house down for insurance reasons. Facts.

"DO NOT RESIST!" he screams at a woman who isn't resisting. What a coward.

[@CandiceMMartinez]

Meh. It was a white woman. I've seen so many white women get special treatment by the law so it's a breadth of fresh air to see a white woman get treated like the rest of us by the cops.
