The ban was initially approved so homeless people could shelter in place during the pandemic. But for more than a year, they have been allowed to keep their tents up at all times in the city of L.A.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/spectrumnews1.com\/ca\/la-west\/homelessness\/2021\/06\/09\/la-councilman-seeks-to-resume-ban-on-sidewalk-encampments-during-daytime\">According<\/a> to City News Service, \u201cBuscaino requested the City Council amend the mayor\u2019s Declaration of Local Emergency and resume enforcement of Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 56.11, which regulates the storage of personal property in public areas.\u201d The outlet reported, \u201cIt prohibits people from configuring a tent in any public area from 6 am to 9 pm, except when raining or if the temperature dips below 50 degrees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democratic Mayor Eric Garcetti\u2019s Declaration of Local Emergency includes a suspension of enforcing the ordinance. Since it was implemented in March 2020, however, City Council has voted to extend the declaration month-to-month, partly because it is tied to federal funding.<\/p>\n<p>Buscaino said \u201ccomprehensive clean ups of our public spaces\u201d should resume because \u201cCOVID is essentially over,\u201d the state is preparing to reopen the economy, and baseball fans are attending Dodger games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe with this one action we could start making a real difference in the out-of-control encampments we see throughout our city,\u201d he told KTLA on Thursday. \u201cThis is just a common-sense solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of Buscaino\u2019s more progressive counterparts on the city council expressed concern that resuming enforcement would not be enough to solve the problem, and a broader approach would be necessary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can not just restrict where and how the unhoused occupy public spaces,\u201d said Democratic Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas. \u201cWe must stay laser focused on offering these Angelenos decent housing options and the support services needed to get people back on their feet. Focusing on enforcement alone diverts our attention from the real solutions needed to end this crisis, and may further make matters worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a campaign stop on the Venice Beach boardwalk Monday morning, Buscaino spoke of banning homeless encampments at beaches, in parks, and on sidewalks. The area, which is not part of Buscaino\u2019s district, has become notorious for tents lining the beachfront. As The Daily Wire reported, the event was cut short when a homeless woman with a knife was seen near Buscaino and arrested by police. A witness claimed she threatened to kill people, but she was released on her own recognizance later that day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/homeless-woman-with-knife-interrupts-l-a-democrats-mayoral-campaign-launch\"><strong>Homeless Woman With Knife Interrupts L.A.
