The really shitty thing is they have shown they CAN get folks who want the help into housing – but they don’t put the effort in very often. You need a big event where tourism dollars will be hurt to get any action. Even though constant complaining has made the action less oppressive and more focused on actual SHORT TERM help, it mostly amounts to shuffling people around temporarily making blighted areas clean for a few weeks.
The boardwalk is immensely improved and the longterm shanties/Hooverville is gone, but new people show up every day and the system is broken.
