Mayor Bruce Harrell’s office is doubling down on its defense that these clear outs of RVs and tents are not motivated by the looming All-Star Game.
“The City’s homelessness response has had a steady and consistent focus on SODO over the last year and a half due to a high concentration of RVs and tents,” said spokesperson Lori Baxter. “We have not changed this process or approach in the lead-up to the All-Star Game.”
AJ Torres-Hotrum is skeptical of the city’s motives. He says when he was living in Salt Lake City, the local government there took similar action prior to the NBA All-Star Game. In contrast, Marc McCann, who has spent over thirty years working in SoDo, does not seem to care about the underlying motivation. That said, he’s skeptical this most recent clear-out will keep away tents and RVs long term.
