“I wish they would actually treat us a little bit better and be more fair to us," said Robert West.
“Now people are afraid that we’re all crowded, [we're] more of an easy target for the police to come in and abate everybody," said West.“The more people came in, the more agitated most people were because they were getting closer and closer together," she said. “We knew that there was going to be an additional 100,000 people in Salt Lake City," said Wayne Niederhauser, homeless coordinator for the State of Utah."We just wanted our unsheltered friends to be off the street as much as possible and being able to get into a shelter situation.”
“There was no such offer during 4-degree weather, during 10-degree weather, during weather where the state announced, 'Do not go outside,'" said Kseniya Kniazeva, the executive director of the Nomad Alliance.
