The city of Fresno is looking to implement a handful of ordinances, aiming to grant the Fresno City Attorney more power to pursue legal action against violators of its anti-encampment law.
Several cities across the state have already adopted similar measures.
Two cities I spoke with, Palm Springs and Fremont, say the ordinances have helped keep their communities clean and safe, though they acknowledge results can vary from city to city.
Removing a shopping cart from private business property, taking someone else’s trash bin, or camping in public spaces; these are actions that could soon land you behind bars if you’re caught in Fresno.
The proposed ordinances are part of the city’s plan to strengthen enforcement of its anti-encampment laws.
Cities like Fremont in the Bay Area and Palm Springs in Southern California already have similar ordinances on the books.
