    Currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area and see this happening in several cities. San Francisco is the largest example. They have made building new housing a nightmare of red tape yet they are going full steam ahead with clearing out the homeless people.

      Question, what do they do with the homeless people?

      Do they get arrested?

        I live in Oakland an moderate (post) to the Oakland community.

        I don’t recall all the details right now but… I think they tell all the people leave and then throw everything left in the trash.

    Trust me, as a californian, everyday being here is a boring dystopia.
