"content": "\u003cp>On Tuesday, Berkeley’s City Council is expected to consider a moratorium on enforcement of a recent ordinance that allows the city to clear homeless people’s property from sidewalks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city recently began enforcing the rule, which lets officials clear off the sidewalks during the day. People living on the streets are allowed to set up their camps between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., but must break them down during the day. Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguín has said the new ordinance was meant to address the accumulation of personal items on walkways without criminalizing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Councilmember Cheryl Davila said that the city first needs a robust homelessness response system in place to help before it can expect the unhoused — including seniors and the disabled — to break down their camps each day. After all, she said, they don’t necessarily have anywhere to go with their stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Berkeley's Homelessness\" link1=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11735832/berkeley-affirms-ban-on-overnight-rv-parking-once-permit-system-is-in-place,Berkeley Affirms Ban on Overnight RV Parking\" link2=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/2018/10/17/city-council-approves-rules-restricting-objects-on-sidewalks,City Council Approves Rules Restricting Objects on Sidewalks\" link3=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/2019/05/24/jury-finds-berkeley-did-not-violate-a-homeless-groups-civil-rights,Jury Finds Berkeley Did Not Violate a Homeless Group's Civil Rights\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of anxiety about it, the anticipation of getting a ticket or enforcement,” she said, which could be difficult for them to pay. “Their stuff, which is all they have, is in their tent and they’re not able to break it down into a three-by-three.” Plus, she said, sometimes they’re sick or not able to cart off their belongings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davila said enforcement should be paused until the city has enough daytime shelters and storage lockers for homeless residents to use. She argues developing a system to serve their needs should start with talking to the people who are affected by the ordinance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no data: who and why and how we can help. So I think all those things need to happen first before we’d enforce,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ordinance \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/2018/10/17/city-council-approves-rules-restricting-objects-on-sidewalks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was approved last October\u003c/a> and regulates what objects are allowed to be placed on walkways or near BART entrances. As Berkeleyside reported at the time:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The new rules apply to any personal belongings that are not for sale and not “in transit,” except mobility devices like wheelchairs and small blankets or cushions.

People living on the streets are allowed to set up their camps between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., but must break them down during the day. Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguín has said the new ordinance was meant to address the accumulation of personal items on walkways without criminalizing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Councilmember Cheryl Davila said that the city first needs a robust homelessness response system in place to help before it can expect the unhoused — including seniors and the disabled — to break down their camps each day. After all, she said, they don’t necessarily have anywhere to go with their stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Attendees gave hours of often emotional testimony as their supporters hoisted competing orange and pink signs with messages like “Not good for residents; not good for visitors” and “Hate has no place here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the lease now secured, the city plans to break ground on the center this summer, with hopes of opening it in the early fall, although the expected litigation could delay that schedule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city is leasing the Port-owned land for two years \u003ca href=\"https://sfport.com/sites/default/files/Documents/Item%208A%20SWL%20330%204-18_0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for nearly $37,000 a month\u003c/a>, and will have the option of renewing for an additional two years if it can demonstrate the center has helped reduced homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the last community meeting a week ago, city officials tried to appease opponents by promising dedicated police patrols near the center, splitting the original four-year lease half and scaling back the proposed facility to 130 beds, consistent with the size of other navigation centers, and then ramping up to 200 beds over six months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that did little to allay neighbors’ concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not even that I personally am against the navigation center at that particular location,” said Judy Lin, who’s lived in South Beach since 2008. “It’s just the fact that the city has not listened to or addressed any of our concerns when it comes to the size of the facility, the length of the lease, the policies with respect to drug use or curfew or any of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lin said the roughly dozen community meetings she’s attended with city officials felt like “talking into a black hole.” A newly formed neighborhood group she’s part of, called Safe Embarcadero for All, intends to sue the city in a last-ditch attempt to stop the project from moving forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We could have worked together to come up with a solution that helped the homeless and that the neighborhood can support,” she said. “But instead, the mayor is just ramming this down onto the neighborhood without addressing any of the concerns.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11742418\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11742418 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/NavCenter2-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Advocates for and against the navigation center pack the hearing room on Tuesday, hoisting competing orange and pink signs, as Port commissioners listen to hours of impassioned testimony. \u003ccite>(Matthew Green/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But for supporters of the plan, Tuesday’s vote signaled a major step forward in addressing the city’s worsening homeless crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This crisis belongs to all of us equally, no matter what neighborhood you live in,” said Carmen King, who lives next to a homeless shelter in the Tenderloin and insists that safety has never been an issue. “People die sleeping outdoors, and that’s the real issue here today. … All of us are safer when everyone in San Francisco can sleep indoors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First proposed in early March by Mayor London Breed, controversy over the center erupted weeks later after a group of neighborhood residents \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/safe-embarcadero-for-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">started an online fundraiser\u003c/a> to challenge the plan in court.

"content": "\u003cp>Thomas Nimmo has been living along the \u003ca href=\"http://www.regionalparks.saccounty.net/Parks/Pages/AmericanRiverParkway.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American River Parkway\u003c/a> in Sacramento for several years. Earlier this month, he said he had a run-in with a Sacramento County park ranger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='homelessness' label='More Coverage of Homelessness From KQED']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had just gotten to the park and was sitting down smoking a cigarette and then I saw the park ranger come by,\" Nimmo said. \"They gave me a ticket for having the buggy in the park. They said, 'Well, we can't get you on anything else, but we'll get you on this.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nimmo said he accepted the ticket and went down to Loaves & Fishes, which provides services to the homeless, to use their legal aid services to get it taken care of. He wound up with six hours of community service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was really upset,\" Nimmo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local officials say homeless camping along the American River Parkway, a 23-mile stretch along the American River, has always been an issue. The dense trees and brush make it easy to be discreet. But around this time of the year, when the river rises, it forces residents to move away from the water and to more visible spaces, such as levees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to this year, rangers would often ticket homeless residents during these seasons for camping on the parkway.
