Signs the homeless are beginning to leave The Zone in downtown Phoenix

The number of people who live in The Zone, a homeless encampment just west of downtown Phoenix, appears to have declined significantly. "The only thing I know is they puttin' people in hotels. That's all I know," said Shon Gaudlin. "I seen it on the news, a judge signed an order that nobody can live in tents no more," said a resident of The Zone who knows his time living there is ending.
