L.A. will seek to impose new ban on living in vehicles

The L.A. Times reports:

The Los Angeles City Council is considering reinstating a ban on homeless people living in their cars and RVs.

A federal appeals court last year struck down the city's existing ban as unconstitutionally vague. In a March 26 report, City Atty. Mike Feuer proposed a new ordinance with a tighter definition of living in a vehicle that he said would pass court muster.

In addition to a new ordinance, Feuer said the city could set up a limited permit process that would allow car camping on non-residential streets. Feuer said this "novel approach" would "strive to meet the City Council's goal to protect neighborhoods in a manner that is sensitive to the needs of the homeless."
