City of San Diego passes homeless encampment ban

The San Diego City Council moved forward Tuesday with its final vote to approve the City’s “Unsafe Camping Ordinance,” which bans tent encampments in certain public areas of the city.
Less than two hours into the meeting, public comment wrapped up and the new rules were passed with several city council members registering a “no” vote.
“It is legally, practically, and morally not the right thing for us to do at this time,” said Council President pro Tem Monica Montgomery.
She joined Councilmembers Moreno and Lee, along with Council President Elo-Rivera, in voting no. Councilmember Whitburn and four others on the dais, however, continued their support for the new rules.
