I've often been surprised that there hasn't been more of this sort of thing, with the wealth inequalities so glaring. Like homeless/downtrodden people get disruptive, but they seem to mostly just inconvenience the slightly less poor people most often -- occupying public parks for tent encampments etc. Those tent encampments are often frowned on because they usually have higher rates of violence and criminal elements, which impacts the slightly less poor neighbours of those public parks. That sort of energy would seem much more effective directed elsewhere.
