Today, Natalie Hanson-Ross, a fine reporter at one of my local news outlets, the Enterprise Record, did a story noting that the cleanup of homeless encampments is continuing in Chico, CA. This is happening amidst ongoing concerns that the pandemic is increasing homelessness nationwide. Concerns about the complex issue of homelessness were in the news long before the pandemic, of course, and the great grunge rock band Pearl Jam spoke to them in the 1991 anthem “Even Flow.”
