One occupation, facing a bill from their city for damages, totaled up their output in terms of meals and shelter provided, basic medical aid, etc. and IIRC it was more than the city's bill

Punkboy in SF was talking last night on his livestream about how in Oakland, a report came in during the time of the encampment that crime had fallen 19%. This of course did not jibe with the local 1% and the "officials" needs, and one week later, people dressed in black started showing up at marches and began smashing windows, etc.

The old, old story.
