Oceanside Reckons With Tent City Lining Its Streets
OCEANSIDE, Calif. The city of Oceanside in San Diego County recently took a unique approach to its homeless problem: It replaced a growing tent city that had lined one of its major streets with large rocks.
The city took action after citizens complained that the tent community attracted crime and filth to an area with local businesses and residential neighborhoods. The rocks make it difficult for the homeless to return and camp on the same spot. In exchange, the needy were issued vouchers for temporary housing and food.
Oceanside resident Lorelee Goehle contacted The Epoch Times after noticing the number of tents lining Oceanside Boulevard had nearly tripled in a few short weeks.
