The "homeless" are so emboldened. Its ridiculous that this camping was tolerated for so long.

2:03 this guy should be audited to find out where he gets his funding from and how much he is paid!!

[heygirl]

The city has a drug crackhead problem not homeless

[Theworldisburning]

Just pretend to be an illegal they will provide you a check a roof and a drivers license.

[jomarielopez]

Why? Because the new hotel is opening up? Tell us the real truth!

[Wileyglify]

Finally no more crimes from homeless we got fed up of this mess

[rickyricky]

Why not do this all over the country..

[casienwhey]

Homeless advocates should be required to each take in one homeless person into their own homes. Then we'll see how much they care.

[Rambleon]

Great, this compassionate city let this out-of-control mess happen.
Look out neighboring cities, Chula Vista no longer wants the mess they made.

Good luck enforcing this new law. Sheriffs don't want their cells filled up with the unhoused. They're not hotels.

I was in Chula Vista a year ago and it wasn’t nearly this bad. So glad this is happening. It’s the trash they leave behind.

Homeless people need help with cheaper rents as well 😡 Not all homeless people are addicts

[dougca]

Well over 50% of the population is one paycheck away from homelessness they just don't want to admit it

[MCsAdvice]

Im all for this but...where do they make them go? Do they just start another encampment somewhere else? Seems like theres no actual solution to this.

[lindahoffman]

I get the mess and crime but unless you experience this one should not judge 😮😢

[Nirvezz]

They should all go to Coronado or La Jolla

[pattilemonhouse]

👏👏👏
"Homeless" encampments?
Street hustling is a lifestyle. Not a "condition"

[bziophw]

Finally some sanity! It's crazy how society has been forced to accept verbal and physical abuse from bums who take over public spaces

[bigdaddytrips]

What a joke . All they'll do is move down the street.

Hope no blocking to the USA streets for the people's and disabled people
