Albany will pay homeless to leave Bulb

[yuiyoshida]

Albany will pay 28 homeless people $3,000 each to leave the Bulb, a former landfill along San Francisco Bay that's slated for parkland, according to a settlement released Wednesday.

The agreement, between the city and a homeless advocacy group, calls for Bulb residents to leave the property by Friday, along with their pets and belongings, and stay away at least a year.

They'll also be banned from Albany Hill and the areas known as the Neck and a city-owned parcel on Pierce Street.

The other 25 or so homeless people who live at the Bulb, but aren't covered by the settlement, are also required to leave.

They are now under the Gilman Street overpass.

I live in Albany and it's been interesting.
