The plan, which further criminalizes homelessness and might run into problems with civil rights and legal organizations, does not have a concrete plan for how to fund the dramatic changes it intends.
A five-point plan to improve public safety and cleanliness in downtown San Diego was proposed Monday by a group of residents and business owners."The success of downtown is imperative not only for the people who live, work and visit here every day, but for the continued progress and success of our entire city," Gloria said."From investing in our police department to backing new common-sense laws, I've made public safety our city's top priority.
New Solutions for the Behavioral Health Crisis, which includes funding and expanding California's CARE Court program and using conservatorship laws to bring into government welfare those with mental health disorder and/or severe substance use disorder; Enhancing Quality Of Life, which includes cracking down on trash violations, funding street lighting and park improvements and cleaning sidewalks.
In the group's five-page document detailing the plan, the only mention of funding is the Transient Occupancy Tax the downtown core funded to the tune of $1.7 million in 2023. Granted, the document acknowledges Monday's proposal is only the first step, with more stakeholder input needed before such a plan could become reality.
