A San Diego city councilmember is proposing a new ordinance banning people from camping on San Diego streets.
“I’ve seen three deaths in about a month, one over here, a couple over there, and it’s because they’re on the streets, and they don't want to abide by rules so something’s got to be done with them,“ Serrati explained.
Homeless advocate Michael McConnell agrees that no one should have to sleep on the street. But he worries there aren’t enough beds to cope with demand. “All you have to do is look at the count of shelter beds and the count of homeless people and you realize there’s nowhere near enough beds,” he said. “And then for people like me who are out on the street, who see people lined up in the morning two hours before the homeless response center even opens, it’s obvious there are a lot more people wanting a shelter bed than there are beds available.”
