Inside Santa Rosa's mile-long tent city amid plans to shelter its residents in FAIRGROUNDS as California struggles under the weight of 130,000 people living on the streets
- Around 185 people are living in 100 tents on a mile-long stretch along Joe Rodota Trial - the biggest homeless encampment the city has ever seen
- A plan to allow them and an estimated 3,000 people living on the streets in Sonoma County to move into the makeshift shelters will be unveiled Tuesday
- City leaders will propose fairgrounds for the shelters, after being inspired by how they were used to house people during wildfires and flooding
- The proposal is part of a plan to deal with California's homeless emergency where 130,000 people are living on the streets
- The crisis has left fed-up residents taking extreme measures to keep the homeless out of their neighborhoods
- In San Francisco, residents set up two dozen large boulders along a half-block stretch of sidewalk on Clinton Park to prevent camps from being set up
- In Oakland, business owners placed 10-foot long logs along a commercial street to stop homeless encampments being set up outside their stores
