Critics say the city’s approach is ineffective, with outreach workers mostly cleaning up trash while ignoring the root issues. Some residents even suggest giving police more power to enforce rules, while visitors express sadness over the city’s failure to deliver promised support. Reports of people stealing power from utility poles and unverified claims of sex work in the area have added to the tension. Though the mayor insists encampments will eventually be cleared, no timeline has been set — leaving frustrated neighbors and passersby wondering when — or if — things will improve.
