Buscaino's measure would prohibit people from sleeping or camping on sidewalks and other public spaces if they have turned down offers of shelter.
If Councilman Joe Buscaino wants Los Angeles voters to decide whether to bar homeless encampments in public spaces, he may have to gather tens of thousands of voter signatures first.“Safer and Cleaner L.A.” measure
Buscaino — who is running for mayor — has previously vowed to collect the nearly 65,000 voter signatures necessary to put the measure before voters in 2022 if the council declines to do so.The council still has several months to decide whether to move forward with the proposal for the June ballot. But that’s unlikely to happen, given that Buscaino’s ballot measure committee has announced plans to begin collecting signatures for the November ballot.
During a lengthy discussion before the City Council vote, some council members opposed the measure on its face while others said they felt a ballot measure that had not gone through council committees was not the way to move forward, particularly when the city had already implemented a new anti-camping ordinance in recent months.
