Once again, the homeless under 101 prepare for a sweep. One wonders, 'Where did all the money go.' to help the homeless.
Nestled between a metal gate and a freeway pillar, a large tarp is draped over his tent at night. He has a stovetop, a pile of clean pots and pans, blankets, a foam mattress, a few blankets, and a cabinet on wheels with drawers full of miscellaneous items.The night before, after spotting an encampment clearing notice sign at the end of the block, he packed up most of his belongings into a cart. He is prepared. He knows the drill.
“I’d rather be out here. I’ll risk it out here,” he says. “Being out here and being in there is not too different.”“Define more aggressive. They’re taking our things. They’re taking our people,” the 28-year-old says. “What’s left?” So as not to disturb others, he repacks his tent each morning. He wheels his cart filled with all his belongings to a U-Haul storage container across the street, and then goes about his day. He typically grabs some food, sees friends, and brushes up on his tech skills at Code Academy. He typically pitches his tent again around 7 or 8 p.m. in the same spot.
For Cory, living on the street without permanent shelter is a temporary answer. Just last August, Cory was living in the Tenderloin, paying rent for an SRO with broken pipes and mold issues.“They got to fix the housing market. They got to fix the affordable rental situation. They got to fix the job market before any of this other stuff is going to get fixed,” he says gesturing towards the tents, trash piles, and tarps scattered along the underpass.
Cory says he’s experienced a sweep before and had four officers threaten to arrest him. When he responded saying he understood they were just doing their job, they backed off. Chez has changed into a red flannel and has a few friends over in his tent.
