Just in case people do not fully grasp the amounts of "doo"s in this song:
Baby shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Baby shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Baby shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Baby shark!
Mommy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Mommy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Mommy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Mommy shark!
Daddy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Daddy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Daddy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Daddy shark!
Grandma shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Grandma shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Grandma shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Grandma shark!
Grandpa shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Grandpa shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Grandpa shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Grandpa shark!
Let's go hunt, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Let's go hunt, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Let's go hunt, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Let's go hunt!
Run away, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Run away, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Run away, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Run away!
Safe at last, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Safe at last, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Safe at last, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Safe at last!
It's the end, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
It's the end, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
It's the end, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
It's the end!
I love that song doo doo doo doo doo doo.
The last two verses on repeat are I think my new sound track to the end of times

What's with the wording of this title? "Unhoused people" instead of "Homeless"/"Homeless people"
A home is an abstract thing, a house is a quantifiable object.
Also it kind of implies that society should provide a house for them.
It's like the difference between calling someone wittless and uneducated.
One implies that's just how the person is, the other implies a failing of society/family.
I like the word unhoused, it implies they should just be housed if they are homeless. Everyone should be housed, even if they don't own a home

What about the people who work there? Are they trying to make them quit then become homeless and leave the mall too?
Icecream van
According to the article, it plays in the emergency exit stairwells, a place that if you're using it you should be trying to leave as quickly as possible.
If I was escaping a fire, and the stairwell had baby shark playing, I'd walk back into the fire.
I really don't want to die with Baby Shark being the last song I hear

No they are supposedly insane already.
The gas station near me blasts very loud opera music at the area surrounding the building. I think it's also to prevent kids from loitering as there is a school nearby as well as plenty of homeless.
