City Enforcement of Survival Ban Escalates as Does Winter Cold

December 7, 2016 by Jonathan Leave a Comment

The enforcement of the camping ban, now known as the survival ban, across the city has not stopped since the city came in full force on Monday last week. The Mayor is still directing police to drag net the whole city to enforce the camping ban. And now it is in hidden corners all over the city where people are scattered and often alone. Police have been waking many people up on these cold nights in hidden corners telling them they must move or their belongings will be taken as evidence of breaking the camping ban.

On Monday 12/5 we took over the whole public comment period at city council with homeless people and others sharing what is going on and pleading for an end to the survival ban.At this meeting Councilmen Albus Brooks told media, “I have zero calls — complaints — about how the city is enforcing the cleanup. I have 100 calls about how we’re not doing enough.” So it sounds like Councilmen Brooks needs to hear from the people about our concerns – complaints – with the enforcement of the camping ban.

Call Councilmen Albus Brooks (dist 9) and tell him you are not ok with the enforcement of the camping ban!!
Phone: (720) 337-7709
