Gov. Ron DeSantis said he's working with the Florida legislature on an initiative that would ban public camping throughout the state in what he says is an effort to maintain law and order and fight homelessness. Speaking at a podium with a sign reading "Don't allow Florida to become San Francisco," DeSantis said he wants to prevent homeless encampments like the ones seen in the California city, as well as in Seattle and New York. The Republican governor said the initiative would prohibit camping on all city streets and sidewalks, and in parks in an effort to ensure public order and quality of life. https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/governor-desantis-seeks-ban-on-camping-in-public-throughout-florida/3225169/
