The proposed resolution recommends moving people living in the Civic Center to a <br /> now-shuttered bus terminal and increasing law enforcement presence and enforcement of code violations and <br /> nuisance ordinances in the Civic Center. The resolution cites public health and safety concerns as the <br /> justification for the proposed strategy. It should be rejected for the following reasons: <br /> First, we recognize the public health concerns in the Civic Center. However, these issues arise not from the <br /> people living in the Civic Center but from city and county governments that have for <br /> decades neglected their basic needs for housing, adequate restroom facilities, showers, food, and other <br /> necessities. The resolution does not address any of these concerns. <br /> Second, we reject the presumption that people living in the Civic Center create a public safety threat for <br /> workers or pedestrians. <br /> 1 <br />
