A recent proposal by Lurie includes temporary parking permits for residents awaiting housing placement, but varies opinions on its implications. Some advocates, like Binder, warn that this focus may jeopardize access to essential resources for others in need. Binder also seeks improvements in the vehicle buyback program to better reflect vehicle values. In contrast, Illa views the plan as coercive, suggesting it uses threats of vehicle impounding to manipulate acceptance of services. Despite differing opinions, Lurie claims majority support within the board, with the voting process scheduled for September.
