The City of San Diego opened another safe sleeping site on Saturday. It's the second one since the city passed its unsafe camping ordinance in the summer.
Three months ago, the city started enforcing the ordinance, which makes it illegal to sleep in public spaces if there's a shelter bed available.
District 3 city councilman Stephen Whithburn is the brainchild behind the strategy. He says even with all of the tents, the situation is better than it was and will continue to improve. Like its first site at 20th and B Street, the city's new camping site is outside, but it can accommodate 400 people. It's located at the edge of Balboa Park near the Naval Medical Center.
