Dispersal of the Homeless in West Palm Beach, FL

On July 17th, 2019, it was reported by CBS News[5] that the city officials of West Palm Beach, Florida have been using 'Baby Shark' as a solution to the increasing number of homeless people occupying the Lake Pavillion waterfront park event space. City officials had taken notice to the universal feeling of annoyance associated with the song and have decided to blast it on a loop in hopes of driving out the homeless population. Leah Rockwell, West Palm Beach's Parks and Recreation director, had told CBS News; "People are paying a lot of money to use the facility. Thousands of dollars. We want to make sure people paying this money had a facility that was clean and open and continue to use it in the future.[5]" The event space brings an annual amount of an estimated $240,000.

West Palm Beach officials have faced backlash for their tactics. In a statement to USA Today[5], Megan Hustings, managing director of the National Coalition for the Homeless, said; "There's been many other places that have played music of some sort to drive folks out. It's awful that we have so little respect for the humanity of our homeless neighbors. When you hear things like songs being used, it's turning a blind eye to people who are a part of our communities."

If you're surprised by this, you're not familiar with how much children love repetition. It's not that 2.1 billion different people streamed the song, it's that 400 million households played it 5040 times per week.
