People were living in Oppenheimer Park until today. Some still are. It's hard to move this many people when they have nowhere to go. They found a man dead in his tent this morning. People die. Some consider the death a good reason to shut down the tent city. I think it's proof these people need good, affordable places to live and at the moment, this park is the best they can do. The death wasn't suspicious. It's unfair to speculate but I wonder if he might have lived if there was more social housing available to this demographic.

People don't generally choose to live in bad places. People generally live in the best conditions they can. They were living in the park because it was their best option.
