San Diego's Homeless Community Opposes Proposed Encampment Ban.

The San Diego City Council is set to vote on a proposed ordinance that would ban homeless encampments from public property, with violators only cited if they refuse available shelter beds. However, some areas would be enforced even if no shelter beds were available due to public safety concerns. Homeless individuals expressed concern about where they would go if the ban were enforced, with some fearing shelters may not accommodate vulnerable people. The proposed ordinance is seen as a way to get people to accept shelter beds as more become available, but critics argue that beds are often not available.
