Thursday morning around 9:00, the sidewalk near the Petco Park tailgating parking lot was lined with tents for those among us who are unsheltered. Those makeshift shelters were short-lived because just a few hours later, around noon, city crews came and swept the area, giving the people who live on the streets options and notices that they have 24 hours to take advantage of programs to help. People who live in East Village talked to CBS 8 about the City of San Diego's homeless encampment ban and said the tent city that was cleaned up Thursday morning will be back. "Something has to change, and it has to change soon. [The encampment ban] was a halfhearted measure that we thought would create some progress," said Giorgio Kirylo who lives in the East Village. "They do these sweeps, but the reality is we're completely overwhelmed and for some reason the East Village became the government’s dumping ground." John Brady works with Lived Experience Advisers. He said he used to call the streets of San Diego home and now that he's back on his feet he works to help others. But he says the encampment ban isn't working, because the problem is bigger than what the encampment ban can fix.
