SAN DIEGO — A City of San Diego proposal that would turn the parking lot outside the Malcolm X Library in Emerald Hills into an overnight site for homeless people with cars to sleep in is generating controversy.
The city wants to turn the parking lot into what it calls an “overnight safe parking site," as early as this summer, according to a city document. It would see portable restrooms and hand washing stations added to the Malcolm X lot, which has 120 spots for people to sleep in their cars.But the document estimates the cost of the site ranges from $700,000 to $920,000.
Council President Pro Tem Monica Montgomery Steppe raised concerns about the proposal at a recent council meeting.
