A ban on trespassing at Fresno businesses was presented to the public by three members of the Fresno City Council on Tuesday.
Councilmember Gary Bredefeld, one of the three behind the proposed ban, is basing it on an ordinance approved by Fresno City Council last month designed to decrease unhoused activity along public spaces.
“The ordinance met that goal,” Bredefeld said.
On Tuesday, Bredefeld was joined by fellow council members Mike Karbassi and Tyler Maxwell. The three council members are all sponsoring the bill. They say it is time to address private businesses and what was described as the “homeless folk who harass them.”
What’s wrong with calling them homeless? This ordinance is long past due.
