LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles City Councilmember Joe Buscaino, a candidate for mayor of Los Angeles, toured one of the Bridge Home shelters in his district Monday.
The goal of Bridge Home is to be temporary and for people to find permanent housing in a few months. But Sidney has been there for 11 months. "I will not allow the continued self-destruction of people on the streets when we know there are beds available. The sidewalks should not be an option. In fact, the city of Los Angeles is the only city that has weak 'no camping' laws," Buscaino said."This is why everyone is coming to Los Angeles."
Buscaino says they passed a watered down version. If elected, Buscaino says he would bring accountability to the city's existing programs, meaning consequences for those who refuse help and for elected officials who don't achieve results.
