The city spent $192,107 placing riprap rocks at two underpasses near Downtown — activists say it is the work was meant to push out homeless people.

$130,000 in labor to work AGAINST people rather than help them.
This city is in the long, slow process of being refaced by money-without-mercy from all the people who want red state-living without living in them.
Austin saw this happen like lightning 35 years ago.
Tucson's getting "whited-out" a bit slower, but it also isn't as modernized. It's taking longer.
@TucsonSentinel Just imagine the fun the first time a car or truck has an issue and hits those rocks.
@TucsonSentinel May unidentifiable homeless people replace the beds of the people who approved this with sharp and heavy rocks, and then quick-set cement them into place. 
Imagine spending that on housing instead
@TucsonSentinel They could have housed those people for that amount!
@TucsonSentinel I wonder how many tiny-homes that $ could have built.
@TucsonSentinel that’s 16 people housed at $500/mo for two years, what a great solution they found
