西雅图市长否决房车露营许可法案,市议会30天内可决定是否推翻

华盛顿州金县西雅图市——西雅图市长 Katie Wilson 11月2日否决了市议会通过的房车许可法案 CB 121283,该法案原本将实际上禁止无家可归者在西雅图用房车露营;同一批立法中的其他法案则获市长签署。这项法案在市议会以6比3获得通过,要求房车露营者取得一套手续复杂的许可证,支持者认为这有助于管理街道秩序,反对者则认为这会让本已困难的无家可归者处境更加艰难。
市长在否决时对许可计划的成本、法律风险以及可能把更多人推入无遮蔽露宿状态表示担忧。市长否决后,市议会有30天时间决定是否推翻否决,推翻需要6票。
西雅图的房车露营问题长期受到关注,一方面涉及公共卫生、安全和街道使用,另一方面也涉及住房短缺背景下弱势群体的基本生活空间。市长办公室和市议会接下来如何协调,将决定这项政策的最终走向,社区组织和居民也在关注市议会是否会在30天内采取进一步行动。

Seattle Mayor Vetoes RV Camping Permit Bill, Council Has 30 Days to Decide on Override
Seattle, King County, Washington — Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson on November 2 vetoed Council Bill 121283, the RV permit bill passed by the City Council that would have effectively banned people without shelter from camping in RVs in Seattle; she signed the other bills in the same legislative package. The bill had passed the council 6-3 and would have required RV campers to obtain a complicated permit; supporters said it would help manage street order, while opponents said it would worsen the situation of people already struggling without housing.
In her veto, the mayor raised concerns about the permit program's cost, its legal risks and the chance it would push more people into unsheltered homelessness. After the veto, the council has 30 days to decide whether to override it, which requires six votes.
RV camping in Seattle has long been a contested issue, involving public health, safety and street use on one side and the basic living space of vulnerable people amid a housing shortage on the other. How the mayor's office and the council proceed will decide the policy's final outcome, and community groups and residents are watching whether the council acts within the 30 days.
