Chicago begins to clear out North Park homeless encampment, leaving some residents unsure where they’ll sleep – Chicago Tribune/MSN

The city’s move to shut the site down was motivated, in part, by its larger Summer Encampment Initiative, according to the Department of Family and Support Services. The program’s objective is to remove people from tent encampments and relocate them to official shelters.

More Potemkin Village creation ahead of the DNC. Anyone who believes that the “homeless” or “unhoused people” doublespeak are there out of poverty should buy a bridge from me in Baltimore Harbor. Here’s the facts: most are alcoholics or drug addicts or both. Most are mentally insane or drug addicts or alcoholics or all three. And a few just like the freedom; they are old fashioned hobos. Period.
