The Supreme Court’s recent ruling on homelessness is having an impact in the North County. The ruling in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson allows cities to ban homeless encampments in public areas. The city of San Marcos has now passed its own ban.
The city of San Marcos is taking action on a homeless encampment ban following a Supreme Court ruling last month.
City of Grants Pass v. Johnson allows cities to ban homeless encampments in public areas. The San Marcos City Council approved its own ban Tuesday with a 4-1 vote."I don't think we have the resources to face this right now as we speak," she said.
The ban goes into effect in 30 days. Sheriff’s deputies will first issue warnings to people in encampments, and if they don’t move or seek services, deputies can then issue a misdemeanor citation.I love hearing from the community and listening to what's important to you. No story is too small. If it matters to you, more than likely it matters to somebody else too.
