City closes sound wall homeless camp along Mill Plain in west Vancouver
City of Vancouver workers erected a sign that declared “Property Closed to Camping” as they cleared tents Wednesday morning along West Mill Plain Boulevard.
Neighbors in the Hough neighborhood had complained for almost a year about the so-called “sound wall camp,” which grew to about 50 people in recent months. The city last month ordered the camp’s removal.
In the early morning hours, a neighbor peeked over the sound wall from his backyard to watch campers leave. A homeless man balanced an armchair on a shopping cart as he moved his belongings. Flames engulfed a tent as police escorted its handcuffed owner from the scene.
