Ex-San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer said the city’s ban on homeless campers across a large part of the city is “doomed to fail” without tougher enforcement.
San Diego’s homeless encampment ban is “doomed to fail” without tougher enforcement as homelessness reaches a crisis point in the California city, its former mayor told The Post.
“The unfortunate reality in San Diego is that it’s taken over our Downtown and it is skyrocketing throughout the entire city. The real danger is if you fail to enforce it equally throughout the city, you are just pushing the problem further. You’ve got to tackle it all at once.”Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer pictured on Sept. 8, 2021.
Councilwoman Vivian Moreno, who voted against the proposal, said she was concerned the new policy gave residents “false hope.” She said there could be a chance the unhoused would start setting up tents at more suburban neighborhoods instead. An annual count released last week showed 3,285 homeless people living in the City of San Diego, a city of 1.3m people — a 32% increase over last year, according to theCritics of the encampment ban said unhoused people— especially seniors, families and veterans— will be forced to move further away from services they desperately need.
