Showdown looms over homeless encampment
By Da Lin
SAUSALITO, California (KPIX) People living in a Sausalito homeless encampment are running out of time. The city ordered them to leave by Tuesday but many said they will fight the eviction order.
About 35 people live at the Dunphy Park encampment, right next to the waterfront. Some of them are former boaters who anchored in Richardson Bay and were ousted from the water.
Michael Ortega, his wife and their toddler son used to live on a boat until it was damaged recently. Now they call Dunphy Park their home.
“My son has really enjoyed the camp, getting to know people and just having space to be able to bike around,” Ortega said.
