Saint Paul has had encampments go up and go down. I’ve seen this & wondered why we haven’t had scenes like this. Turns out, the mayor’s office has taken charge, gotten folks housed, and encampments have gone down with police at a distance. The Deputy Mayor has even been present.
There actually is a humane way to deal with the unhoused. You just need a city that leads with competence and compassion. This has been my St Paul Tourism Ted Talk. #RedRoverRedRover
Minneapolis has approached encampments as a policing issue; Saint Paul has approached them as a human services issue, working with different levels of government and advocates to find solutions for people.
