PHOENIX — It was a beautiful springtime day in Phoenix Tuesday, but on the corner of 12th Avenue and Washington Street, the sights and sounds of spring quickly give way to life on the streets.A man named Bless, tells ABC15 he found"The Zone" when he stumbled into it.
The two men say they have worked with social service agencies that are dedicated to helping the homeless. On Monday, Superior Court Judge Scott Blaney ordered the City of Phoenix to remove the encampment and enforce city and state laws against public camping, pollution, drug abuse and violence. Phoenix had taken the position that it cannot cite people for violating public camping laws because of a 9th Circuit Court decision saying a municipality cannot criminally cite people for sleeping on public property if they have nowhere else to go.The reluctance to remove the homeless from The Zone left business owners and residents with no choice but to sue the city.
