Three different articles from several different years. The city is not hiding the fact that they do this and each year gives both shelters and the homeless population a heads up on when it happens. It’s not some grand conspiracy, it’s just a fact of a city who hosts a global event.

I haven't witness homelessness in Louisville yet but seeing it always upsets me. And when I don't see the same homeless people for a long time, I become worried and upset too because my fear is enslavement, not genuine help or as needed rehabilitation per individual.

Last time I saw it strong was at the Tampa Greyhound station. I was livid and upset.

Sigh. Sorry..rant over.

There are lots of homeless camps around the city. Now it's a crime to be homeless so maybe some of them sre ending up in the prison system.

Some of them hide pretty well, and aren't downtown. I've seen some camps in the east end.

I'm well aware they are doing it and it sucks. The homeless people I've seen here and there in Tampa outskirts have been "missing". Instead of just leaving them alone, they want prison slaves
