PHOENIX — Editor's note: The above video aired during a previous broadcast. The City of Phoenix's "failure to address the growing homelessness crisis" is the main reason behind a new lawsuit filed by residents and businesses nearArizona's largest homeless encampment, paperwork shows. The lawsuit states that plaintiffs are property and business owners who live or work between 7th and 15th Avenues and between Van Buren and Grant streets in downtown Phoenix. This area, which has seen an increase in an unsheltered population in recent years, is known as "The Zone" and it's considered to be the largest homeless encampment in Arizona.
