After a lawsuit by residents, San Francisco finally cleans homeless camps out of the Tenderloin district

Finally in June the city struck a deal with the plaintiffs, agreeing to clean up 70% of the tents by July 20. That day still hasn t arrived yet but the city is already most of the way toward the goal after a three week push that took nearly 500 homeless people off the streets:
