Bozeman residents speak out against proposed urban camping ordinance
Показать описание
Bozeman city commissioners are set to make a decision on whether to adopt a controversial new urban camping ordinance. Ahead of that decision, members of Bozeman Tenants United spoke out against it.
“The way that the ordinance has been brought to the City Commission has been incredibly short-sighted and undemocratic,” said Olive Nakano Sohn, an organizer with Bozeman Tenants United. “The city manager hasn't consulted experts, unhoused folks or service providers.”
The city’s current ordinance regulating urban camping bans those experiencing homelessness from camping in the right-of-way unless there is no available shelter space, and stipulates that under those circumstances, vehicles must not remain on the same street for more than 30 consecutive days, with violators subject to civil penalties and fines.
