East Village resident Giorgio Kirylo called out former Chief of Police Shelley Zimmerman for her opposition to the Unsafe Camping Ordinance. He said the ordinance is a step in the right direction, and will give the police a tool to defend schools More:
, the San Diego City Council Tuesday evening voted 5-4 in favor of the Unsafe Camping Ordinance that would prohibit tent encampments in all public spaces throughout the city if shelter beds are available.
“It takes a lot of bravery to do this,” Campbell said, referring to Gloria’s and Whitburn’s proposal. Under an amendment by Von Wilpert, the ordinance won*t take effect until 30 days after the first safe sleeping lot is opened on 20th and B streets, to allow non-law enforcement social workers to be the first contact with homeless people. In a statement after the vote, Gloria thanked the five who supported it.
Addressing the council, Gloria said it was reasonable to ask that sidewalks are passable, that public parks are safe and accessible, and that natural canyons aren’t under a constant wildfire threat. Gloria said earlier that encampments “pose an immediate threat to public health and safety, for both the people living in them and people living, working or going to school around them.”
“This commonsense ordinance will be paired with a robust shelter strategy, which includes two new Safe Sleeping sites where more than 500 people stay in tents in secure areas with access to hygiene and services that will help them get on the path to permanent housing,” Gloria said.
