Opinion: San Diego's encampment ban is a humane and necessary approach to addressing homelessness [Opinion]
We cannot continue to have the children of East Village and Barrio Logan walk to schools and parks in their neighborhoods past blocks and blocks of encampments. We are better than this. If our offers of shelter and services are refused, there is no unconditional right to stay on public streets, sidewalks and parks. It is unsafe and unhealthy.
The city is trying hard to meet people’s needs in their journey out of homelessness, but much more needs to be done. Many of our unhoused residents living in the encampments on our sidewalks and in our parks right now are not accepting this help. Some are fighting addiction and mental health challenges that are keeping them from taking the next step themselves. That’s where the Unsafe Camping Ordinance comes in.As San Diego’s former city manager, I have seen this approach work before. The recession in 1992 and 1993 hit our city hard, leaving.
