        It appears from the photos that the homeless encampments are adhering to social distancing far better than the crowd of locals that descended on it almost a year ago!⛺️ ⛺️ ⛺️

        All this does is take away space for people to distance outdoors.

        Until you house your homeless you should expect encampments and do everything in your power to make them safe.
