AUSTIN, Texas — From enforcing the camping ban to housing costs skyrocketing, there’s a lot happening in the City of Austin.
Austin Mayor Steve Adler joined KVUE Monday on Daybreak to discuss recent headlines throughout the city.
Yvonne Nava: The City of Austin has identified 45 City-owned areas to possibly turn into designated camps for people experiencing homelessness. The list is preliminary and was met with mixed reactions from some council members because some locations are in busy parks and there are more proposed locations in Black and Brown neighborhoods. So what’s the criteria for picking these areas and how challenging do you think it will be to come to an agreement on these locations?
