But they didn't even do that. And they could not have expected what they did to accomplish that. If they wanted to "protect the infrastructure" they would have fenced off the area after bulldozing everything or found some means of keeping people away from the bridge. But they did nothing to prevent people from immediately moving back. And they did it knowing that the very close proximity of the camp to the soup kitchen, and it's sheltered position under the bridge were literally life-saving factors for people. Propane tank explosions and brush fires by roads and bridges are not ideal, but they cause a lot less harm than an unnecessary eviction and the willful destruction of lifesaving shelter and property.
