Homeless camps near the Superdome in New Orleans have been relocated by order of Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry in preparation for upcoming events, including three Taylor Swift concerts this weekend and the Super Bowl next year. The decision to move the camps was made to consolidate the encampments and provide shelter for the individuals living on the streets.
Approximately 75 people who were residing in tents beneath an overpass were moved about two blocks away by the Louisiana State Police earlier this week. The move was part of an effort to ensure that the city presents itself in the best possible light as it welcomes visitors for the upcoming events.
