Impact analysis
While the city isn't spending a ton upfront, expect costs to rise for enforcement and potentially for services to manage the displaced population.
The city hopes businesses and residents who value a certain aesthetic will benefit from fewer people camping in public.
People without stable housing are directly harmed, as their options for shelter are severely limited.
