In 2025, the City of San Diego spent $7M to clear tent encampments. However, since the city rarely issues citations or makes arrests for violations, there is little accountability for violating the law so encampments come right back - often within hours of being cleared.

The result is that some city blocks were cleared over 100 times last year.

The sad reality is that, according to the State of California’s 2023 study on homelessness, most of the chronically homeless are suffering from addiction. Without meaningful consequences for their actions, it’s unlikely they’ll ever get help on their own.

Allowing tent encampments is not compassionate to those living on the streets and it’s not fair to the rest of the general public who deserve clean and safe public spaces.

The OB Town Council had its 501(c)(3) Status REVOKED BY THE IRS! The most progressive Town Council in San Diego quietly defrauded the neighborhood and then kept it quiet as long as possible.

Now, please understand this is how nearly every Non-Profit works in SD nowadays. The fact that "do-gooders" on the board were too busy to do oversight and then claimed ignorance is SOP... They should be civilly and criminally liable. Then they run for office or sneak on to other boards to help this managed decline in exchange for access and money.

Three of my colleagues on the Board voted to extend our term limits from two to three. I voted no.

In 2010, 68% of voters set our limits at two. We all ran knowing the rules. Now they want to rewrite the deal for themselves.

That's not reform. That's self-dealing.

They buried it in a package with ethics rules and auditors, knowing a straight extension would never pass. If they believed in it, they'd have applied it to future Supervisors only. Not one was willing.

We're hearing this item one more time on May 19th. We have a chance to stop it.

Write your Supervisor. Tell them NO!
