Advocates for the homeless and the people who live in the tent camps worry that a sweep of the park is imminent. They’re gonna come out here and crack heads and take you out, bottom line,” Robert Buchannan, who lives in one of the encampments, said.
Some of the people living in the encampments said they are in the system to get off the streets. Many, however, have been in that system for years.
Buchannan described it as an uphill battle. We are basically backed up against a wall, trying to get out of here, he said.
While the letter expressed sympathy for the plight of Buchannan and others like him, it stressed that their being there is “illegal and unsafe.”
