“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” a man said from inside a tent. “I’m actually ready to do it right now, just to be ahead of them. You know what I mean?”But the city’s ban on camping within a 10-block radius of a homeless shelter does go into effect Monday. Hines, a Tacoma native and city council member since 2019, said he drafted the ordinance to address the issue of homelessness and encampments.
The Tacoma City Council’s decision to implement a camping ban proved contentious. The ordinance passed during a heated debate last month. Within a day, homeless advocates were vowing to sue the city.“I think what we’re doing is perfectly within the laws,” he said.But the city’s attempt won’t help those who are homeless get back on their feet, a man in an encampment said.
