First full Democratic city council passes toughest tough on poverty ordinance in the history of SD
SAN DIEGO — San Diego City Council on Tuesday evening voted 5-4, passing an "unsafe" camping ordinance, or homeless encampment ban, which has drawn polarized opinions.
The homeless encampment ban will go into effect 30 days after the first safe sleeping lot is set to open on July 1.
Enforcement will consist of a three-step approach:
First: Offering a shelter and giving education about the ordinance
Second: Offering shelter and education again, as well as the issuance of a misdemeanor citation
Third: The person will be offered a shelter bed yet again, but an arrest would be made
San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria released a statement Tuesday on the decision.
