PHOENIX — Earlier this year, ABC15 reported on the city of Phoenix’s plan to consider an outdoor camping ban around schools, childcare facilities and shelters.“One year later it’s like a different city,” said District 2 Phoenix Councilmember Jim Waring, who visited San Diego over Memorial Day Weekend.“You don't want to recreate the wheel if you don't have to,” said District 1 Councilmember Ann O’Brien. “We did see this was working in San Diego and that's why we brought it here.
“There are homeless criminalization laws across the country. And one of the things they have in common is that none of them work. A recent study looked at 100 cities that have no camping ordinances and on average in those cities homelessness on up by 2.2%,” said Jesse Rabinowitz, campaign and communications director with the National Center for Homelessness Law, “Stop moving them from place to place, stop giving people who have no money tickets.
