Why can't the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors and city of Eureka show some leadership and give law enforcement the same tools to house people as well as keep communities and businesses safe?

Posted below excerpts from a Los Angeles Times article. In the entire article, there is no mention of what the new laws are. Besides that error, if you read the article, there is information about resources, giving notice and providing housing.

If LA can keep their streets clear so people can walk safely to work their homes and to use public sidewalks; why can't the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors and city of Eureka show some leadership and give law enforcement the same tools to house people as well as keep communities and businesses safe?

Neither Virginia Bass, Kim Bergel, Natalie Arroyo have done anything to address to this overwhelming problem except take credit for EPD initiatives or DHHS programs and make meaningless gestures that have solved nothing. Approving more Betty Chinn temporary shelters is Humboldt officials only solution. 

All three should  be aware of these laws. Did Arroyo and Bergel mention this law in their press announcements about running for 4th District Supervisor. None of them deserve to be elected or remain in that position.

Candidates with business experience, willing to stand up for law abiding individuals and businesses and someone new should be elected for all Humboldt County and City government positions.

Excerpts from LA Times article:

"The Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday approved a ban on camping at certain locations, in the first use of new laws that passed over the summer."

"In a 12-2 vote, the council outlawed sitting, sleeping and lying at 54 locations in three of its districts. Amid contentious debate over the summer, the council enacted new rules regulating sitting, sleeping and storing property near fire hydrants, building entrances, driveways, libraries, parks, elementary schools and several other locations."

"The council also asked that resources for outreach to homeless people in these locations be expanded and for city departments to draft new procedures to ensure people sleeping on the sidewalk aren’t forced to move without proper notice. Though the new procedures have been drafted, the city has yet to hire the staff to provide more outreach to accompany the new rules."

LA Council Bob Blumenfield "said he regularly heard from residents who complained about having to walk in traffic just to navigate the encampments. So over the last year, he’s focused on creating more shelter space in his district, which he acknowledges has the fewest homeless people in the city. People took outreach workers up on offers of housing or shelter, he said."

"Now, with the exception of one underpass, the streets are clear. He wants to keep it that way."

“I have fewer homeless people in my district than anyone here, but it’s still the No. 1 issue,” he said. 

“We’re trying to do everything we can to get folks served, to get them housed but also to keep our communities safe and clean and to make sure that dangerous and critical corridors are … not subject to encampments.”
