Looks like you answered your own question
I think we are misunderstanding each other. Are you are confusing city ordinances with legal charges? And, if so, they don't even call out the city ordinances that were all cited, just that there are ordinances about unlawful camping.
The article doesn't mention how many, which ones, and what charges can be levied against someone who violated those ordinances.
I’m not confused. The article is pretty clear: they haven’t been charged yet (as of the article’s writing), and the lawyer was speculating on what they might be charged with. You even quoted the relevant part.
I regret engaging with this believing you were trying to be constructive. This is now a closed loop in which, within 3 messages, you claim to know what the charges are, and then you admit the charges are still in speculation. Have a nice day.
The answer to your question was in the article, and you even quoted it yourself. If anyone engaged here in bad faith, it was you. You even proved it By quoting the answer when you asked the question.
If you stick your hand in a blender and it gets mutilated, you don’t blame the blender you blame yourself for sticking your hand in a blender.
If you believed something different was going to happen, that is 100% on you.
This must be exhausting.
What I imagine is exhausting is you being so upset that you can’t drop this.
