Vehicles and dumpster on fire… GO TEAM SB TRANSIENTS!!!! This town is a disgrace
Well, the cause wasn’t lightening….
i guess there has to be significant loss of property and/or life before the authorities will do what they are paid for
It doesn’t take much space for an encampment, just a few bushes and trees. There are small camps on both sides of the freeway from Turnpike to Winchester. Seems part of the draw is convenient access to places to beg or steal, from Turnpike Center to Calle Real Marketplace.
