EVERYONE ORDERED OUT FROM UNDER 59 OVERPASS ON WHEELER, BUS PARKING TO TAKE THEIR PLACE 
Crews are emptying the Wheeler Ave. tent-stead underneath 59 of all its homeless residents, their belongings, and accumulated residue — Mayor Turner said in a series of tweets today — clearing the way for a new fenced-off bus parking lot to take over the property. Signs announcing the ouster and incoming fences went up Tuesday, said the mayor, and this morning, a METRO bus was on site “to take the 45 or so residents to shelter,” after they “voluntarily accept offers,” to relocate. A month ago the city declared the setup a public health nuisance, reports the Chronicle, a state designation slapped on areas that could be hazardous to those nearby. That’s right around the time Rice bought the office structure one-block north of the encampment, presumably for the so-called Midtown Innovation district it’s now cobbling together from land on both sides of the vacant Sears building it owns as well.

Huzzah!
Typical “public servant†(in this case meaning career politician) Turner takes this decisive step right after someone declares that he’s running against him. Try to remove it as a campaign issue. Can’t stand Turner.
Hmmm… according to Turner’s Twitter feed, notices went up Tuesday, though the removal actions started today (Friday). Other candidate declared Tuesday night I am now reading. I would say it still could be a campaign issue: Why did this take so long? I’ve noticed the “No camping allowed†signs underneath that part of the highway for years.
“Accumulated Residue” Euphemism of the day LOL
This homelessness issue is out of control and it’s gotten worse since Turner got into office. I’ll be voting Buzzbee in the next election.
please do some research before committing to vote for that weirdo:

well it could be a lot worse. take a look at what los angeles has become (on youtube). i could not believe it. it’s like they don’t enforce vagrancy ordinances. homeless people throw up tents on the sidewalk, and the cops don’t do a thing. why pay big rent when the weather’s always nice and you can pitch a tent on city property?
