Isla Vista Recreation and Parks District voted 3-1 on May 20 to return People’s Park — the last remaining sanctuary space for Isla Vista’s unhoused community — back to its recreational capacity by June 1. Residents who do not meet the deadline will be evicted. Protesters marched against this decision for the concern of housing rights, advocating for houseless residents during the ongoing pandemic.
Why don’t each of these “protesters” take a houseless neighbor home with them? Wouldn’t that be better than a tent?
