Recoleta Residents Fear for Safety as Sidewalk Occupation Worsens

Residents of a Recoleta building in Santiago, Chile, are voicing concerns about the growing safety and sanitation problems caused by people living on the sidewalk outside their building. "It's terrible," says Monica, a resident visiting her son, describing the constant fear of violence and the unsanitary conditions. The local municipality claims to be addressing the issue, but residents say the situation is worsening. The video shows scenes of trash, disorder, and confrontations in the street. While the municipality claims to be removing encampments, they quickly reappear. The residents' fear highlights the urgent need for a more effective solution to homelessness and its impact on community safety and well-being.
