> I know people are frustrated about gentrification happening in the city, but the reality is, we live in a free market society

He is free to be rich while others are poor because of the free market. Seems like his free market has created a number of people who leave urine and feces in the streets and ask people for money.

He wants the benefit of a free market without having to deal with the consequences.

He's not appealing to the free market to fix the problem. He's appealing to his city's government, to whom he pays taxes and has a reasonable expectation that of dealing with problems like these.
