Description
The homeless crisis is a major concern for people in Chula Vista who showed up to a town hall meeting on Saturday. They expressed their frustrations with police. Meanwhile, officers shared what they are doing to help people living on the street.
"If they are going to help the unsheltered, help the unsheltered… stop the red tape,” Chula Vista Resident John Acosta said.
Residents who live in this community like John Acosta, have seen the situation first hand. He showed up to find answers and hopes more is done to solve this issue soon.
“So like a band aid to a conversation, band aid to the problems they don't give you solutions,” Acosta said.
Chula Vista Mayor John McCann hosted the town hall where he spoke about his proposed encampment ban for the city. It's an issue he hopes will be presented in a future council meeting for a vote.
