Why do you doubt it? Sounds like the owner didn't care. If it was a house, what would be different?

Spending 7am to 7pm next to a homeless encampment isn't the same as sleeping next to it, or letting your wife and kids sleep next to it.

Although in this instance I think NIMBYism is less useful than having functioning local government, police, and homeless services.

Because the owner didn't live in his store he could afford not to care.
