An idea to relocate thousands of homeless people living on the streets of San Diego to a camp at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar is gaining traction.
“Once you have, let's say 5,000 beds, a clean, healthy, safe, secure environment, then you can return to full rule of law in the streets, canyons and parks," businessman George Mullen said.
In a letter to Mayor Todd Gloria sent Monday, Miramar Commander Col. T.M. Bedell, wrote the military base is not a suitable location. The land desired contains protected wildlife, unexploded ordinance and three live fire training areas, according to Col. Bedder. Mullen said he has three or four potential on-base locations in mind, including one off of La Media Road near Brown Field. The location, as Mullen likes to say, is less important than the concept: getting homeless services and the needy in one location away from the negative influences of the streets and far enough away from those that would argue “not in my back yard.”"We will save thousands of lives by having Sunbreak Ranch and getting people off the streets.
