This week, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and Councilman Stephen Whitburn unveiled new tactics to curb homelessness: More safe camping options, more supportive services and new bans on vehicle habitation and camping on public property.

These big moves wrap into an ordinance Whitburn plans to bring to the Council, with Gloria's blessing, which puts the camping ban in effect when shelter beds are available.

In this episode, we review the new plans and how they'd work as San Diego Police face a major staffing shortage.

Plus: La Jolla wants to see other people. A startling cluster of chronic absenteeism in schools.
