The Austin City Council will consider a resolution clarifying the camping ordinance on October 17, but residents are as divided as ever on the growing homelessness crisis.
The city's new progressive camping ordinance has, according to one business owner, turned a problem into a crisis overnight.
Mayor Adler and three city council members attempted to alleviate concerns raised by residents over the city's new public camping ordinance and growing homelessness problems.
Austin's homeless are now permitted to camp and sleep on most public spaces so long as they do not pose a threat to public safety.
