L.A. doesn’t need to elect Caruso to see the ineffective cruelty of such a policy. Over the last two years, as its leaders have struggled to create more permanent housing, L.A. has erected dozens of tiny-home villages — is a plastic shed all that different than a FEMA-style tent? — while expanding the city’s anti-homeless “enforcement zones,” where police are dispatched to shuffle people and their belongings from one sidewalk to another.
The practice of getting unhoused people out of shared public space by forcing them to accept shelter under threat of incarceration isn’t new. Robert Marbut, a pioneer in so-called warehousing policies has spent decades advising cities — for thousands of dollars an hour — to adopt his “velvet hammer” approach to homelessness: Criminalize it, erect massive shelters, and control access via drug testing, work requirements, and curfews.
