"When they pull up with a piece of junk, I don't want you here. If you pull up with a decent trailer that you obviously own -- maybe even have put plates on it -- I want you here,” said Housman.

Housman had owned the entire block of property that stretches the length of Clinton Street since 2019. He said he decided who stays and who goes. He didn't allow late-night parties or loud generators.

So he was a grumpy landlord who was trying to lord over those living nearby. Then one day, according to the article, he sees some people fighting and while approaching some random stabs him in the neck. He dies as the two fighting guys work together to stop the killer.

His unsanctioned authority only made enemies. He was better off doing nothing.

The guy who owned all the property and had a grudge against homeless people was named Housman? !nominativedeterminism@feddit.uk
