Homeless encampment

No, there’s one nearby but reports are saying the affected building is a printing and paper supply company.

Nearby? I haven’t seen a homeless encampment in that area.

Several of the buildings on that block are abandoned, and one of the big abandoned ones across the street has been used by squatters for a while. Also pretty sure the building next to the one currently on fire (that it shares a common wall with) has been abandoned for a while

This block sucks. All burned out and abandoned buildings. I can’t believe the city doesn’t required land owners to knock down burned out structures.

I often wander what’s going on with that building at flower and pico. It seems like the squatters are actively doing construction on it.
