Description
The City of San Diego has secured millions in grant money to help clear out encampments along the San Diego River.
The largest one is known as the “island” with about 40 inhabitants. It sits underneath the I-5 freeway near SeaWorld Drive. It’s well hidden and hard to get to, which is why most people don't know it’s there.
Using a drone, CBS 8 could spot a collection of tents, furniture, and people cooking food. CBS 8 also recorded people being transported back and forth on a boat, making it appear more like a village than a homeless encampment.
