A large homeless services camp proposal has the support of some notable San Diegans but hasn't found a location.
A sign at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar is shown in this photo, Feb. 5, 2020. The uninhabited eastern portion of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar had been proposed as a location for a camp for individuals experiencing homelessness.
The section of the base sprawls eastward for miles from Interstate 15, between State Hwy. 52 to the south and Scripps Ranch to the north. "Most of us can no longer walk or bicycle our downtown city streets, sidewalks, and parks without facing an obstacle course of tents, bodies, human excrement, needles, trash, and a slew of walking-zombies that are impossible to distinguish between which ones are just down on their luck, and which ones are out-of-control substance abusers about to attack us," Mullen and Walton wrote in the op-ed.
He said the concept isn't meant to be permanent housing and compared it to camps run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency after natural disasters. The camp would connect people with services such as mental health and substance abuse treatment.
