'100% of residents will have place to go:' Chicago clears Humboldt Park homeless encampment

Despite pleas from homeless advocates, the city dismantled an encampment in Humboldt Park on Friday.

Out of sight out of mind is how the majority of people handle the homeless!

[dkoz]

It's quite a relief to know that they're all going to have a safe place to offer them In this cold.

[mactastic]

Show me proof they have non-congregate shelters for every single homeless person that was at that encampment.

[Jackie]

I hope they have all accepted one of the rooms the lady is talking about. They'll be warm and safe.

[mjrrodriguez]

Are these homeless shelters for true residents of the city of Chicago and veterans and true American citizens not refugees or migrants.

[paloma]

Not true they ran out of places in the shelters . I know someone who is still waiting for his housing due to paperwork

[mariagonzalez]

Yup the housing has been a joke for a long time. About time we opened a shelter from one Maria to another 😊congratulations on getting that open.

[paulmcdonald]

How come those "Advocates" cannot put the Homeless women in their houses to live?

[scoobydoo]

Nobody wants to go to a shelter 😂. No privacy there

[mariagonzalez]

Scared of withdrawal and scare of dying.

[LEFTeVr]

But if they were illegal immigrants they would have been taken care of

Tents was the reason I was going to vote against the alderman now I might just vote for her

[Daniel-dcu]

Why are animals allowed to stay in the park.

[larrysrebnik]

The shelters are dangerous. I would also not go. Sad how people are treated at their bottom. I am one check away. I live here. Who will need that park in the winter. It’s shameful!

[psykkogonda]

[galegrazutis]

They didn't want to leave!! ?? is not a choice!

[welcome_to_the_collapse]

I wish the government would kowtow and give free stuff to me like that.

[rsgabrys----]

[checkdown]

No body wants your shelter. People want their own lives.

[gusto]
