Editorial: A ballot measure on homelessness that will not help homeless people (via latimesopinion)
With homelessness the biggest issue in Los Angeles as a mayoral election season revs up, Councilman Joe Buscaino is pushing for a measure on the June 2022 ballot that would outlaw homeless people camping in public spaces. If the City Council approves, voters would see that measure on the same ballot that hasThis is no coincidence. Buscaino gets to run for mayor claiming he has a faster way to get people off the streets than his colleagues in City Hall ever did.
prohibits the city from citing or jailing homeless people for camping outside if it does not have enough shelter to offer. Instead, Buscaino’s primary order of business appears to be enshrining in the municipal code a ban on camping on sidewalks, in parks and in other public places.
Buscaino now says the street engagement process, required by the city, takes too long. How long does he think it’s going to take, under his measure, to find temporary housing and persuade homeless people everywhere in the city to accept it?
