## Resource

Birmingham’s crackdown on the 34th Court North encampment is escalating: city crews towed an RV, rescued four neglected dogs, and filed a lawsuit to declare the property a public nuisance. Leader Phalander Boyd was arrested for missing court and has a history of marijuana charges. The city argues the makeshift camp violates zoning laws and endangers public health — and if the court rules in their favor, everyone must vacate permanently. Officials say this move responds to community concerns and aims to restore safety and order. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
