I don’t think it’s a common pattern for mom and pop stores to have a homeless camp on their lot.

Neither do I, yet it's a much higher probability with a commercial property vs residential.

  • The probability is exactly 0% if the city doesn't allow it. This has nothing to do with zoning. If it was a house next door allowing a homeless encampment would you conclude that having houses next to other houses should be disallowed?

    • But the city allows it. And it has everything to do with zoning. If it was a house next door allowing a homeless encampment the owner would be paying fines, at least, not to mention he would be living in a homeless camp, which is not something most homeowners are eager to do.
