It is a Band-Aid fix that does nothing to address the root causes of homelessness and only serves to criminalize those who are already struggling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This resolution, while well-intentioned, is nothing more than lip service to the Democratic base. It sets a lofty goal without any real plan to achieve it. And in the meantime, it is hurting landlords and property owners who are already struggling to keep up with the demands of the housing market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Furthermore, the resolution does not address the impact that homelessness has on law-abiding citizens. Homeless encampments are a public health hazard and can lead to increased crime in the area, yet the resolution does nothing to address this issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is time for the City Council to take a more comprehensive approach to addressing homelessness. This should include addressing the root causes of homelessness, such as poverty and mental health issues, as well as providing support for landlords and property owners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We call on Mayor Gloria and the City Council to put forward a concrete plan to address homelessness in San Diego, rather than simply paying lip service to a noble cause.
