Description
San Diego's 'Unsafe Camping Ordinance' is scheduled to go into effect July 30, according to Mayor Todd Gloria.
Wednesday morning, the mayor and Council Member Stephen Whitburn spoke to reporters about the council's 5-4 decision to pass the ordinance Tuesday night.
"I believe, regardless of how anyone voted last night, every council member is happy this ordinance passed. How do I know that? Because all of them have significant numbers of encampments in their city council districts. All of them contact me every week asking something to be done about them," said Mayor Gloria. "The good news is now we have more tools to be able to address those calls for action from those council districts and to address the health and safety conditions of the streets of their neighborhoods."
The decision to pass the unsafe camping ordinance happened late Tuesday night during a 10-hour council meeting. More than 200 people spoke during the public comment portion.
