"First, they closed the park at 10 p.m. so you can't go to the park. Then they have the sidewalk bill that passed. Now it is going to be a river one. All they are doing is moving people around, they are not solving the problem," said homeless resident John Johnson.



"The reason they are in the streams is they were pushed out of other areas. So if they are now moved from the streams, they are going to go somewhere else. We have to solve the problem," added Kobayashi.
