Impact analysis
Taxpayers could end up paying more for police enforcement, cleanup, and shelter or outreach services, while any savings from clearing encampments are unclear.
Residents, businesses, and visitors who want city property clear of encampments may see cleaner, more accessible public spaces.
People experiencing homelessness who have no shelter or safe place to go are the most likely to be hurt by this ban.
