Walnut Capital going hard on pressing charges in support of genocide. But then again, why *wouldn't* one of the leading COVID evictors be into the mas death and displacement of Palestinians?

Evictions have devastating effects on households & communities. Yet nationally, only 3% of tenants in eviction cases have an atty, compared to 83% of landlords, which exacerbates imbalances of power. Join us in calling for a Right to Counsel in PGH! bit.ly/RTCnow

Filling in places the unhoused sleep at with rocks is nasty work.
I’ve heard of hostile architecture, but hostile landscaping is a new one.

To do so, be on the lookout for this dork in blue and this chud in the ball cap and shades who pretends to be an outreach worker to take advantage of our homeless neighbors. There are more recent images of the former on his acct's videos.
ALT Former project veritas staffer-turned-EyesOnPGH "citizen journalist" holds his cell phone and a can on the sidewalk as he "covers" the clearing of a Pittsburgh homeless encampment on November 8, 2023. He is wearing brown shoes, light colored pants and a blue jacket. Several municipal workers in the background have their faces blurred out.
ALT An associate of right-wing pseudo news outlet EyesOnPGH who pretends to be an outreach worker to local homeless people stands before a bridge where folks had clearly been living in an EyesOnPGH video. He is wearing a grey ball cap, shades and green hoodie.

The answer has been and remains, NO. You should still read the article.
As Pittsburgh clears tents, Allegheny County makes it official: The Smithfield Street homeless shelter will not reopen. Does the county have the beds to handle winter shelter needs? @EricJankiewicz and @StephStrasburg raise questions - and get some answers publicsource.org/pittsburgh-…

Bolstered by the response to its previous crimes against homeless humanity, the @MayorEdGainey admin is doing more collective punishment:
wesa.fm/politics-government/…
The @MayorEdGainey admin continues to be even more hostile to poor people simply hoping to stay and live in Pittsburgh than he was in his stint on the @urapgh.
Whether it's with gunshots, housing policy, or homeless sweeps, they just put more and more blood on their hands.
Tent encampments can be removed by the city if they are within 10 feet of Pittsburgh roads, trails or sidewalks, or for numerous other reasons under a new policy, @EricJankiewicz reports publicsource.org/pittsburgh-…

NEW: Nearly a third of people San Francisco police use force against are homeless, an @sfstandard data analysis finds. The analysis adds a new layer to the debate around the role of policing in responding to homelessness. My latest with @NoahBaustin sfstandard.com/2023/08/24/sa…
In the mayor and police chief's press conference today we heard a lot of concern from members of the media that there wouldn't be enough cops left working today.
Fear not! There were 10+ @PghPolice officers on grave dancing detail, patrolling Bill Hardison's vigil.
