> Read the first sentence for context, they aren't just being shooed away its to help them. Well, no, it says it's to help them. Important difference. Like saying you're restoring free speech but then personally calling up Rupert Murdoch to kill a news story. Or saying you're bringing in radical transparency to the HHS, but then cancelling all public notice and comment periods on new health policies. Or saying you're a fiscal hawk but consistently voting for bigger deficits. You get it.

I will assume that you are genuine in your belief that Trump or city leaders have any intention of helping people experiencing homelessness. In practice, the only thing that matters to them is to remove homeless people from public spaces by any means necessary. Any rhetoric about doing so for their benefit will not be followed through with. Most people who are homeless are either addicted to drugs which precludes them from participating in programs which require immediate abstinence, or too mentally ill to be helped with the limited funding that will be supplied for their "treatment". It is much more likely that they will be imprisoned indefinitely in a for-profit prison owned by a Trump donor than "helped" in any meaningful capacity.

By concentrating them into a camp like set up… They have zero intention of helping them. These things are literally being built before your eyes. It was brown people last month and it’s homeless people this month… it’s not going to stop unless they are physically stopped.
