They say Aly and other well-meaning residents who provide the homeless with tents, toilets and hot meals are enabling them to remain unsheltered. In California, the San Diego County community of El Cajon passed a measure that curtails feeding the homeless, citing health concerns. Advocates say the homeless have become more visible as police have cracked down on rules barring camping, driving people to spots like the riverbed, which is county property.

And many homeless said they don't like a shelter curfew or rules barring pets and prefer their privacy, even outdoors.
