Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer speaks out against proposed tent camping ban. ABC 10News' Madison Weil reports.
City council is set to vote on Tuesday on a proposal that would ban homeless encampments in many areas across San Diego.
"I stand before you this morning to express my deep concern of the proposal that is being put forth at the city council," said Faulconer. "Bridge shelters such as the one we are at here today…with treatment that is on-site for mental health and substance abuse…that's what works. We need more of them. That's why we're here,” he said.“When a homeless person refuses a shelter bed…which many of them will…there must be intervention and enforcement with a tough love approach,” said Zimmerman.
Mayor Todd Gloria has said the ordinance aims to immediately improve the problem in places like schools and parks.
