Tent City residents gather as the city of Ontario starts the process of sorting out who may stay and who must leave. The city issued wristbands – blue for Ontario residents, who may stay, orange for people who need to provide more documentation, and white for those who must leave. The aim is to reduce the number of people living there from over 400 to 170.

Dozens of Ontario police and code enforcement officers descended upon the homeless encampment known as Tent City early Monday, separating those who could stay from those to be evicted.

1. governments never seem to be able to just let people be

they always need to muddy the water and shuffle people around and make life difficult for all those involved.

We, the People (of Earth) need to fashion governments that work for us, not against us.

3. They were trying to do the right thing

But people starting coming from all over and the numbers over whelmed them.

We should praise their efforts and encourage our own cities to tackle the homeless issue.
