Cities throughout the region have been asked to get more serious about street sanitation
On K Street in downtown San Diego Friday morning, a homeless man named Mike seemed reluctant to speak with passing strangers, huddling with a friend, head down, smoking a cigarette.
That ask was quite specific, delineating the exact downtown city blocks where the health department’s research indicates the greatest concentration of unhoused men and women reside. A letter sent to the city of San Diego on Feb. 15 asked for increased efforts to “deploy additional hand-washing stations and portable restrooms to serve the unsheltered as well as analyzing encampments to determine if more frequent cleaning was warranted.”
In emails last week, city officials said that the county’s new sanitation request will be met, though specific timelines were not specified. “It’s what helped us last time this happened in 2017,” Brady said. “We don’t have enough restrooms downtown for the general population, let alone for people who are homeless.”
