The El Cajon City Council analyzed San Diego's newly approved encampment ban. They also discussed what they learned from a recent series of community townhalls on homelessness. As it stands, El Cajon regulates camping or sleeping on public property in three areas. In El Cajon, a person cannot camp on a public sidewalk, street or alley. Camping overnight in a city park or city playground is off-limits. It's also illegal to camp within the "superblock." This area includes the Civic Center, Judson Park and Prescott Promenade. The city is hoping public input will turn into better solutions. MORE: https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/el-cajon-analyzed-san-diegos-encampment-ban/509-950e6d36-7ce8-40eb-a5c0-8b1ae2ee3cf1
