Los Angeles Mayor-elect Karen Bass is set to be inaugurated on Sunday — and so city crews have been moving a homeless encampment from outside City Hall, hoping to avoid any unpleasant visuals when she is sworn in.
The Los Angeles Times reported:
Unhoused residents who have been living at 1st and Spring streets, some for several months, were loaded into vans Thursday and whisked to the L.A. Grand Hotel, a temporary homeless facility on Figueroa Street that is scheduled to shut down Jan. 31. Several said they were told that they needed to relocate in the run-up to Bass’ swearing-in, which had been scheduled for Sunday outside City Hall.
“They said that they were going to be coming through here and cleaning this whole section out, because the mayor is having her inauguration,” said Robert Fulps, 47. “I don’t know what cleaning this up has to do with that, but I assume … it’ll be on the news and they want it to be clean.”
The operation underscored the magnitude of the challenge ahead for Bass, who will lead a city where more than 40,000 people live without permanent shelter and frustration is at a boiling point. The crisis bedeviled Eric Garcetti for much of his time in office. Bass has promised to act with renewed urgency, declaring a state of emergency as soon as she takes office.
On Thursday evening, Bass announced that the ceremony would be moved to an indoor venue due to rain:

Anecdote from the Clinton years:
Before I retired I commuted to Hartford, CT.
The homeless were all over the place.
Then there was an announcement that then president Clinton would be visiting town in a couple of days.
The homeless mysteriously disappeared and nobody could figure out where they went.
Apparently they were picked up in the middle of the night and hauled off somewhere....
I still don’t know what happened to them.
I thought they were not allowed to call them “Homeless” in LA. They are supposed to be “People living outside.” Or some other nonsense.
An inconvenient truth.
Our world is a hellscape of Potemkin villages.

——Unhoused residents——
Unhoused. That is perverting my language that describes the people as tent dwelling squatters.
It does however recognize the reality that the people are not actually homeless. Such people chose to reside in tents pitched on public lands
Uh........hoping to avoid any unpleasant visuals when she is sworn in....” Did anyone read what they wrote? Hello? Bueller?
I think they were bussed to Tulsa.
Given bus tickets to NYC...................
Another pancake lady “movin’ on up.” ROTFL. “White Guilt” is a real killer these days. Bend over and drop your drawers. Here comes black supremacy.
“...Unhoused residents...”
80%+ are mentally-ill.
Quit building $80 Billion bullet trains to nowhere, and build mental institutions to care for them.
It’s show time!
Same thing happened during the 1992
Dem Convention in NY - then as now midtown west was filled with homeless. When the convention came to town they vanished for a few days.
What was strange in Hartford is the homeless never came back to their previously favorite areas.
Over the years new homeless folks gradually reappeared—but in different locations.
‘Unhoused residents’ LOL
They should have been sent to Newsom’s home.
I’ve noticed that phrase creeping in to the leftist lexicon lately.
I think their current favorite is still “threat to our democracy.”
They’re such mindless lemmings. LOL
