It's been nearly three years since the San Diego City Council passed the Unsafe Camping Ordinance, which prohibited tent encampments on public property when shelter beds are available.

The law also set rules for how the city can enforce the ban, leading to increased sweeps of homeless encampments.

Tuesday on Midday Edition, we hear about a new analysis from The San Diego Union-Tribune that digs deeper into the data, revealing the financial costs to the city and the impact of repeated sweeps on those living in the encampments.
