Ignoring pleas from the homeless and their advocates, the new City Council at its Monday night's meeting voted 3-2 to introduce and approve an anti-camping ordinance, which former city officials said, 'will sweep away our unhoused neighbors.' The dissenting votes were cast by Vice Mayor Yasmine Ismani-McMorrin and Councilmember Freddy Puza.The new ordinance – similar to Santa Monica's antic-camping law – forbids tents and allows only bedding and pillows for people sleeping on streets. It does not codify any services provided to the homeless in Culver City.
