This article covers ground directly related to my recent post about McCoppin Hub.

Rather than deal with the causes of homelessness, city officials attack its victims, making their lives harder.  Nothing solves homelessness better than a home.

The article documents forced relocation at threat of arrest or the truncheon.  In typical bureaucratic style, no city official takes full responsibility for his or her action while exacerbating problems facing the dispossessed.
