Residents Want Homeless Trio to Move On

Bucktown residents are hoping authorities will help relocate a group of homeless people living in a makeshift shelter under the Kennedy Expressway, according to reports.

Two Kansas City brothers and one of their girlfriends are living in the shelter, which is beneath the expressway at Fullerton Avenue. The three also have a dog. 

CBS Chicago reports: 

"WBBM Newsradio’s Mike Krauser reports one activist said plenty of residents are complaining, but nobody’s doing anything about it, and passersby need to stop “feeding the bears.”

“It’s a quality of life issue. I mean everybody feels bad for people who are homeless, but these guys are willing homeless,” said Bucktown resident Steve Jensen, who is among those who want passersby to stop giving the group of homeless people money, so they’ll go away.

Jensen told reporters he's heard from more than 100 residents who are wondering why the group is squatting there, while the "squatters" insist they aren't hurting anyone, the story says.
