We make it very clear that we don' t tolerate encampments along our sidewalks, and we don' t tolerate other code violations such as being drunk in public or urinating in public or defecating in public,' Mayor Bailey said. ' We just simply don' t tolerate these ba sic code violations. What ends up happening is an individual either chooses to get help or they end up leaving.' The city leader went on to add that contributing to the ongoing homeless crisis - especially in California - are progressive leaders' failure to hold willingly homeless citizens accountable for their life choices.' The fact of the matter is there, although there are a myriad of reasons that people end up homeless, they eventually only fall into two camps — those that want help and those that do not want help,' Bailey said. ' And if those that are refusing to get help… shouldn' t be granted additional the ability to break laws such as tent encampments on the sidewalk or urinating or defecating in public.' "

Chula Vista City Council To Address Homeless Issue At Harborside Park People in Chula Vista gathered to discuss solutions for a homeless encampment at a park, right next to an elementary school. Families and homeless advocates both agree that closing down Harborside Park is not the solution. Parents say this will not keep homeless people away from being near the elementary school.

A Yes vote supported classifying certain crimes as misdemeanors instead of felonies unless the defendant had prior convictions for murder, rape, certain sex offenses or certain gun crimes; allowing resentencing for those currently serving a prison sentence for any of the offenses that the initiative reduced to misdemeanors; and creating the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund to receive appropriations based on savings from the initiative.
