The man, and the various items that he has collected, had been in the Ninth Street space since this past Saturday. We're told that nearby residents had called 311 and other city agencies about the encampment...
By this afternoon, some workers — unsure who sent them — arrived to remove the roof from the curbside space...
... and eventually the man's items had been moved to the sidewalk...
In recent weeks, several curbside spaces at currently closed bars-restaurants have temporarily been turned into encampments... including outside Lucy's on Avenue A...

Whoever lived there had a good thing going for a little while,
too bad now, with the weather coming and all.
Did the person that called to complain, call from the
comfort of their home ?
True, no one likes having unregistered tenants out and
about, shelters dangerous and all - so where do the
people go ?
Should of left him alone - that could be you someday
The city has been putting up people in hotels, as well as shelters. So there’s alternatives, we don’t need to have people living in every temporarily empty structure across the city.
Thx to 4:20 and 9:21 for your compassionate comments (*＾3＾)/～♡ nobody wants to sleep on the street, shame on the fascist nimbys and city workers "just doing their jobs" who displace and humiliate our homeless family so that real estate developers and bars slinging $20 margaritas can profit
Why delay squat today
We don't let dogs live on the street because its inhumane, but its okay for some person?
RE: 11:39 "fascist nimbys and city workers"
So set up a little pup tent in front of the entrance to your building with a sign welcoming the homeless. Having a crazy, homeless person living in front of your building, threatening people and defecating near the door is something nobody should have to deal with.
..... thts all very well, did they check if the person had a place to go to .. shelter .. hotel ..
