As the vendors were arriving, the police came, did a sweep, and took them all away so we could get on with business. I wonder if they locked them up for the weekend, or if they just moved them somewhere else...

Jason Louv claimed on Key 23 months ago to have seen video of a massive homeless arrest in the east village/lower east side, with the cops covering their badges, and the roundup shuffling everyone off to New Jersey or parts unknown being the frequent (not his) conclusion. Down in DC we'd frequently joke that all the NY homeless got shipped there... while DC might not top the nation for numbers of homeless, it probably wins per capita handsdown. Unrelated, but in Richmond VA we had a type of "homeless" known as the "Homebum"--there were so many abandoned houses that a lot of the indigent started squatting without worry, b/c the city is so broke no one cares.
