Piss and bums might be reduced to just piss.

quote:

The city of New Orleans is giving the homeless people living under the Pontchartrain Expressway three days to get out. The New Orleans Health Department says conditions are not safe in the encampments under the elevated roadway and everyone must go.



Executive Director David Bottner said in his recent State of The Homeless in New Orleans report, "We want to instill a sense of hope and help them realize they were created for more than just sleeping under a bridge living in a tent. While a few individuals heed our advice, more of them ignore it."

The city says the garbage, waste and food the homeless have under the bridge create a public health hazard and attract rodents.

The New Orleans Health Department says the homeless are violating both state and local laws.

They could always move to Baton Rouge and become Uber drivers.

In other words, Saints season is about to start up and people park and tailgate there.

Don't worry, when the season is over, the bums will be back living there.

You legitimately have cities giving bus/train tickets to other cities. It is cheaper to send them out that way.

I drove by there just a little while ago and it's as bad as I've ever seen it.

So what city resources are they going to redirect to go kick these people out? Are they getting use nopd to corral them on the RTA and bus them out of town? This should be interesting.

The Messicans at the border are getting a way better deal. They should learn Spanish.
