"It takes a long time to figure out what the issue is."

"I have had some real concerns, even in my own City, about the criminalization of homelessness."

"if you lost your job today and lost your house and lost everything and became homeless, would this be the way you would want to be treated, to get a ticket because you were sleeping in a car?"

"I am talking about what I call--some of the things that a lot of cities are doing to target the homeless to, 'get them off the street and not be seen,' especially in downtown areas."
