Another occupation? In Berkeley?

Note from Mike Zint of First They Came for the Homeless:

Why? Another occupation?

Same people as two years ago. Still not housed. Still nothing from the HUB. And today, they aren’t allowed more than 9 square feet on the sidewalk.

Damn straight, another occupation.

A final word on this. Michelle Lot could have died because homeless people have surgery and go right back to the streets. There is nothing offered, like a hotel voucher for a few days. A voucher would have prevented everything, including current medical issues resulting from homeless medical care. A few hundred for a voucher or many thousands for the resulting medical bills? Screw the homeless and the tax payer!
