Home Sweet... Van?

Took a tip from a comment in yesterday's unlicensed vehicle post and found this van (to the left) full of blankets, pillows and other essentials (cigarettes and coke cans) parked on the sidewalk of Church Ave. between Chester and Story. This picture should also give you a good view of the various other vehicles parked on the sidewalk. Why I wonder do the cops and public officials turn a blind eye to this?
