Furniture sits in the living room or artist studio that Jake built under the trestle at Wood Street. Jake, who built a comfortable space under the railroad trestle, says he gets angry when people steal belongings, but it is still safer there than living on the streets. A resident prepares to leave the Wood Street encampment on September 7, 2022, packing his belongings into his old truck.
