Los Angeles also tried to "clean up" for international eyes (Olympics etc) but you can go down to Skid Row and see how that turned out. (it didn't work over the long term at all)

The LA Olympics were nearly 40 years ago, hardly relevant in this time.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I disagree. It's still very much relevant, self-appointed gatekeeper.

How is cleaning up for a sports event in 1984 relevant to Skid Row in 2023?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Good on them for getting these bums off the streets. In Napier, NZ, a few years ago the local council tried the same. A pro-bono lawyer quickly jumped in claiming their human rights allowed hobos and beggars to sleep in doorways, abuse passersby, shit in the gutters, and harrass people for money. The pitfall with democracy is that the rights of the few override the rights of the many.
