‘Shocking’ experience: Utah mayor goes undercover as homeless man

‘The mayor of Salt Lake County, Utah went undercover as a homeless person with just the clothes on his back before deciding where to place a new shelter. He has now spoken out about his experience, saying he “didn’t feel safe” due to drug abuse and violence.
Mayor Ben McAdams can generally be found wearing a suit as he governs Utah’s most populous county.
