"If you want to sweep all these camps, where's everyone going to go? Because they're not going to leave Berkeley - a lot of them are from Berkeley. They don't want to leave home," Henson said.
"It is not progressive to enable people who are in the throes of serious drug addiction to continue in their addiction without serious consequence and continue to create fire and health hazards for the surrounding neighborhood," Kesarwani said.
"According to Kesarwani, Berkeley cut its unsheltered homeless population in half over the past two years, coinciding with the opening of several permanent and transitional housing options."
"In the meantime, Henson said the city should prioritize options like safe parking sites instead of sweeps."
