A law that restricts where unhoused people can sit or sleep in public areas is being enforced differently. This change comes after advocates pushed for a new approach. The city's municipal code has a section that allows leaders to designate areas where certain activities are not allowed.

The full council voted to stop enforcing this law in some areas. A council member who represents a district that includes a neighborhood with a notable homeless encampment was involved in this decision.

Further details about this development are available, including the specifics of the law and the areas affected by the change.
