San Diego City Council postpones decision on expanding Mayor's powers during homelessness emergency.

The San Diego City Council has postponed a decision on a proposal to expand Mayor Todd Gloria's powers during a homelessness emergency. This would allow the mayor to expedite housing permits and spending, bypassing certain regulations. The proposal arises as hundreds of shelter beds are set to close, risking the current count of 2,508. The council will revisit the issue soon, amid rising homelessness in the city.
