The reported encampment is on City property, and recent federal court cases have restricted removal of homeless encampments on public property. In Martin v. City of Boise, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a unanimous decision, finding that the City of Boise’s prohibition against sleeping in public violates the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment when no alternative shelter is available. Thus, cities cannot enforce camping/lodging prohibitions if their local homeless population faces inadequate shelter space. However, the City will continue to monitor the location and assist with clean-ups when appropriate.

Thanks for the info, but there are codes to be enforced:

Citizens can reasonably expect that the camping restriction ordinance (030 VMC) is rationally related to legitimate local interests and should not preempted by California state or Federal law. Residents of the city of Vallejo may reject any argument that the local ordinance has been preempted by California state or Federal law which reserves the right to regulate the property rights of persons experiencing homelessness, the purpose of the ordinance is to regulate camping; it does not purport to regulate the rights of property ownership.

Great! Get out there and do your job! Thanks again…

You can decide where people are allowed to sleep. In the last hearing this year, they clarified that cities were not required to relinquish their property with abandon. Basically you don't have to allow a free for all anywhere. So if the city allows it here, which is a real health hazard, the CITY officials are allowing it there. Not the ruling.
