On Tuesday, the San Diego City Council is set to vote on an ordinance that would ban camping in some areas across the city in an effort to curb growing homeless encampments.
The city plans to open two safe sleeping parking lots — one of which is in Balboa Park — in July and September that would have the capacity for 500 people to sleep inside their tents. Whitburn has said he hopes these parking lots can help boost capacity so that the ordinance would be enforceable.Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters.
"I'm saying the city council should amend this ordinance before we move forward, to insist on shelters now, not shelters with no plan and no budget — that’s what's critically important," Faulconer said. In response to Faulconer's concerns about the ordinance, a spokesperson for Gloria, Dave Rolland, said in a statement to NBC 7 that “Mayor Gloria has done far more to address homelessness than anyone in our region’s history, including increasing shelter capacity by 70%, significantly expanding the Safe Parking program and the creation of two safe sleeping sites for hundreds of people to camp legally and safely, to go along with a prohibition on tent encampments.
