New Homeless Campground May Soon Be Evicted

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ―A local attorney opened up his private property for homeless campers to have a place to stay, but authorities are already warning they will have to shut it down.

Attorney Mark Merin is leasing his property on 13th Street and C Street in Sacramento to about three dozen homeless men and women for one dollar a year, which is meant to give them the legal rights of lessees and property renters.

"It's a matter of human dignity, and it's life and death," said Greg Bunker, executive director of Francis House in Sacramento.

According to Sacramento police, it isn't legal to live in a tent anywhere in the city for longer than 24 hours. The department wouldn't say when, but did say that they would soon enforce the city ordinance and kick the homeless persons out of the property.

The lot is located in a mostly industrial area, with only one home backing up to the property, but the city has received complaints about the campers from nearby residents.

DUmmies, who have nothing worth stealing, support hobo jungles no matter where they're located:

1. that is just ****ing stupid
According to Sacramento police, it isn't legal to live in a tent anywhere in the city for longer than 24 hours"
When the wealthy make the laws this is the kind of shit you end up with.

So, in DUmmyspeak, wealthy = people who live in permanent dwellings. These are the "rich" whose taxes
they want to raise.

3. weird because they say there is only one adjacent home
so who are these "nearby residents"?

Will these bums and winos only break into the garage on the adjacent property? One would
expect it to be emptied of pawnable articles very quickly. At that point the foragers will
have to fan out.

4. Sac declared war on the homeless a few years ago, and it just gets worse every day.
Arnie has done more harm to this state and the city of Sacramento than we may ever know.

Sacramento bums and winos should all relocate to the more compassionate towns in the
San Francisco Bay area. I know of a vacant trinket shop in Tiburon where probably a couple dozen
winos could take shelter. Great little town. Real artsy and compassionate. Lots of people with stuff
that could be pawned.

I have an idea, let them built homeless Obamavilles outside of the cities, in the woods, near the rails.

The Little Goons like to make useful people believe that "homeless" people are the likes of Mark and Stephie Rawlins and their kids Mindy and Skip, formerly of Normal Street USA, who have been unceremoniously thrown out of their home by evil capitalism. 

The Little Goon also want us to believe such evictions automatically elevate these wronged souls to Supreme Nobility status.  These poor folks are to be treasured because evil capitalism robbed them of all control over their lives.

Little Goon faux reality and actual reality are vastly different.

Sure...  blame a cities laws on a Republican Governer.  Don't bother trying to blame it on the Democratic Mayor who actually has a hand in those policies.
