Judge denies Phoenix ask for more time to clean up homeless encampment

The City of Phoenix attempted to buy time after being ordered to clean up a large homeless encampment in downtown Phoenix known as "The Zone," but a judge denied their request.

Phoenix wanted to get rid of the court-imposed July 10 deadline, and they made the argument that it wasn't enough time to handle the situation effectively.

"The city respectfully asks the Court to stay enforcement while the appeal is pending given the significance of issues raised and the far-reaching implications of the Order, both in legal and humanitarian terms."

The city said that while they "share the Court's concerns, the City must retain discretion to create shelter, heat relief, and public service programs without the burdens of a judicially imposed cleanup" amid the upcoming extreme heat, they said in a court document filed in Maricopa County Superior Court last week.

When the bums get in the way of the “great reset” they will be “disappeared” very quickly as in mass graves in the desert.

They could buy them one way bus tickets to San Fransicko.

My sister lives in Huston. Texans are actually quite hospitable and set up the old Astrodome as a temporary shelter for the Hurricane Katrina refugees.

After about a month, it became clear that a certain element among them had no intention of ever leaving. So someone came up with the bright idea of one-way airline tickets to the destination of their choice. It took about two weeks to empty the Astrodome. My sis says it was the best money the city ever spent.
