Far-left Congressional Democrats Cori Bush (Missouri), Ilhan Omar (Minnesota) and Ayanna Pressley (Massachusetts) slept in the rough on the Capitol steps over the weekend, surrounded by cases of bottled water, pizza boxes, staffers and fawning press. These Democrats, who are part of a group who call themselves The Squad, are protesting the end of the federal moratorium on evictions, which expired Saturday night, and warning of soaring homelessness.
They should have been shooed away by Capitol Police for their stunt. Camping on public property is against the law in the District of Columbia. It threatens public safety, creates disorder and health hazards and wrecks neighborhoods. Last week, the Los Angeles City Council passed an ordinance banning encampments in most public areas and ordering police to clear tents and cardboard colonies. Even uber-liberal LA has had enough.

Opinion: Path clear for funding housing. Is will there? Ellen M. Katz and Kristen Baker © Liz Dufour/The Enquirer Bonnie Neumeirer, longtime Over-the-Rhine resident, takes part in a press conference Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2021. Cincinnati City Council will hold a public hearing in the Economic Growth and Zoning Committee Wednesday, Jan. 20 to discuss this plot of land at Liberty and Elm Streets in Over-the-Rhine. The nearly five-acres would be used for upscale housing units and retail. Several stakeholders, including Michelle Dillingham, who is running for city council, are opposing the project.
Too many households are pressured by rising rents and housing costs as incomes have dropped or stayed the same. We believe that American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds represent an unprecedented opportunity to invest in Cincinnati’s local economy and quality-of-life through the support of housing stability, especially for low- and moderate-income families.
