ASWAN’S claim that the defendants conspired to force homeless people out of downtown Richmond by relocating homeless services to Oliver Hill Way fails because it is comprised almost entirely of conclusory allegations unsupported by concrete facts. For example, the allegations that “Doe(s) and the City entered into a conspiracy” and that “Homeward was created as part of the conspiracy and ... became part of the conspiracy” are “[tjhreadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by mere conclusory statements,” and are therefore not sufficient to state a claim. See Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. at 1949-50.
