A Los Angeles Democrat running for mayor has called on the city to resume its ban on sidewalk encampments after police arrested a homeless woman with a knife at a campaign stop earlier this week.
Councilman Joe Buscaino introduced a motion on Wednesday urging his colleagues to rescind the suspension of enforcement of a law guiding encampment sweeps. 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.
