<\/em><\/strong>When will the Benchlands City-County campground, which many residents have found helpful, be forced to move?   Who knows?  Authorities apparently aren’t telling residents.  Same with the smaller (but still well-populated) campground above the Benchlands near the Lawn Bowling area.  There are also concerns with the Felker St. camp near the former Camp Paradise location behind the cemetery. 
<\/strong>
<\/strong>Further rubberstamping of City Mangler Martin Bernal’s plan to once more fence off the Town Clock and surrounding areas to make them hostile to homeless survival campers comes before City Council Tuesday October 27th at the 2:15 PM session.  The “Bury the Library under a Parking Garage” boondoggle comes up at 7 PM.  Oral Communications on other topics not on the agenda is at 5:30 PM.  There are NO proposals on the agenda to actually provide badly-needed restroom, food, water, and charging services to the campgrounds whose presence belies the “Housing Smidgeons” sign on Hiway 1, that lie about the “success” of the former Homeless (Lack of) Services Center at 115 Coral St.<\/strong>

<\/strong>
<\/strong>While a small number are temporarily in the safer motel shelter, most of the “sheltered” are warehoused in the unhealthy group shelters–and even those shelters are full with waiting lists.  
<\/strong>
<\/strong>The Pogonip camps continue to be blocked off and bulldozed.  Those along hiway 1 continue to be starved of resources like portapotties, wash stations, and other basics.     Encampments along the San Lorenzo pathway near the Broadway bridge and along Hiway 1 at River St.  multiplied exponentially after the City and County created more refugees by displacing the larger Benchlands encampment with their own show County-run encampment there.  There are no provisions for providing decent facilities for those camps as fall turns to winter.

<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong>City Mangler Bernal’s Emergency Edict, habitually rubberstamped extends the September ban on vendors on Beach St. while the County authorities invite Boardwalk area businesses to resume their sidewalk crowd-drawing activities near the Boardwalk and unmasked tourists continue to be invited to crowd beaches, the Boardwalk, and the “no vendors allowed” sidewalks.
