Los Angeles City Councilman Joe Buscaino is pushing to get his anti-homeless encampment proposal on the ballot in 2022, and he’s touting a recent poll indicating that his measure might succeed.
The city council will vote on Nov. 23 whether to add the measure, which would ban sidewalk encampments in public areas of the city where enough shelter is available and offered to the homeless, on the 2022 ballot. The legislation was introduced by Buscaino, who’s also running for mayor. It was seconded by Councilman John Lee.
