Lawmakers Close Homeless Camp Of 700 Near Disneyland

Tori Richards

On Monday in Anaheim, California, Orange County officials will begin to dismantle a Disneyland-area tent city of about 700 homeless people who have created an environmental crisis along a riverbed.

They will leave behind tons of trash and hazardous waste along the Santa Ana River channel which feeds into the ocean next to multi-million dollar homes in Newport Beach. The camp stretches 1.4 miles. On the north end, only a chain link fence separates the camp from Anaheim Stadium, where the Angels baseball team plays. Disneyland is two miles west.
