"I want to be very, very clear. That Antioch is not going to be a dump site for the Bay Area's problems," says Mayor Lamar Hernandez-Thorpe. "I am proposing a change to our camping ordinance, specifically includes trails, like these, waterways, and other city assets like plazas." This statement underscores the city's determination to manage its homeless population without becoming a refuge for surrounding cities' issues.
The mayor emphasizes, "We shouldn't have encampments at our trails and in our waterways. That poses a public threat. That's not right." This highlights the balancing act between addressing homelessness and ensuring the safety and well-being of Antioch's residents.
