>> Tools are expensive - where do they keep them? > Some of the camps are quite elaborate. They are. However, tools are expensive thus need to be locked securely. Think: storage unit, not elaborate connected tents. >> Are they dissecting cars under bridges? > yes. It's been getting worse around Sacramento for several years now. Hey, I live in Sacramento too! I've never seen what you're talking about. Where in Sacramento can I see that?

  > They are. However, tools are expensive thus need to be locked securely They're really not. A Dewalt sawzall is a common catalytic converter theft tool. They're not super expensive, and tools are also commonly stolen items. You don't need a storage unit to keep a few tools you use to chop up bikes. (I'm not thinking of a whole vehicle storage yard when I think 'chop shop.') >> yes. It's been getting worse around Sacramento for several years now. >Hey, I live in Sacramento too! >I've never seen what you're talking about. Where in Sacramento can I see that? where can you see homeless camps? they're all over the place. Down Folsom Blvd towards Sac State, the W/X freeway, all over the interchange, right off the 15th St exist into downtown, a few of them along Broadway down towards 99, etc. Those are just ones that I drive by on a regular basis. It's really bad up along Roseville Rd towards the city dump too. so many RVs and homemade structures. Up towards the Blue Diamond plant too, and a whole bunch of camps down along and under 160. It's almost unsafe to ride a bicycle across the C st bridge because of all of the camps that are in the parks along the American River. There's also a ton of RVs across 160 from Costco too. not sure how you have never seen any of this, but it's really quite visible.

    I guess we're just talking about different things. Have a good evening.

> It's true What is this based on?

  It's based on an unfortunate reality. Here's a 20 second video some took on Roseville Rd alone: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sacramento/comments/glttob/roseville_road_nope_homeless_road/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Sacramento/comments/glttob/rosevill... And that's just one stretch of that road. Feel free to drive down that way if you are ever in the area. it's quite eye opening.

    > reality Every claim says it's 'reality'; that's why they need evidence. The evidence is a Reddit video (!) of one road?

      Yeah, it is. What is it that you're getting at exactly? Are you trying to downplay the reality of the homeless situation in this part of California? will a simple search of "Sacramento homeless" on YouTube be enough evidence for you? Your replies sound very (and unnecessarily) dismissive. I have nothing to prove. The situation proves itself.
