LA City Council tentatively approves ordinance to restrict encampments
LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles City Council voted 13-2 Thursday to tentatively approve an ordinance to restrict sleeping and homeless encampments in certain areas of the city, but the ordinance s adoption was delayed because it required unanimous approval upon first consideration.
Councilman Mike Bonin and Councilwoman Nithya Raman voted against the ordinance. What is wrong with this ordinance today and why am I voting against it? Because what we re doing today, even as improved, tells people who are unhoused and unsheltered and have no place to go where they cannot sleep, but it does not tell them where they can sleep. That s what it comes down to for me . where can people go, where can people sleep when they do not have an alternative, Bonin said.
