Chula Vista and National City are considering adopting bans on homeless encampments following a recent Supreme Court ruling that relaxed enforcement hurdles. The proposed ordinances would prohibit camping in public spaces such as parks, transit stops, and near schools, aiming to address health and safety concerns while pressuring the homeless to accept shelter options. Chula Vista has seen a 58.2% increase in its homeless population, while National City experienced a 9.4% rise. Critics argue that the bans are ineffective without adequate shelter beds and long-term housing solutions. Governor Gavin Newsom has supported such measures, threatening to cut state funding to municipalities that do not clear encampments. The ordinances will undergo a second reading before being implemented.
