-Gets rid of a lot of illegal weapons
-Takes away very dangerous environments where a lot of people have been raped/beaten/killed
-Gives back public space to the public
-Helps surrounding businesses get clientele back who won't go to that area because of the tent city
-Forces inhabitants into better accommodations with social services in place and better safety for them such as fire safety & weapon controls.
-Frees up millions of dollars in tax funds that can be better used to help these issues
-Frees up emergency services from having to constantly be at these tent cities
