if you mean the city of Los Angeles this is roughly true since 2021, when years of hard fought lawsuits and activism forced the city to amend lamc 41.18(d) to require signage before sweeps, but up to that point it was illegal to *sit* on any sidewalk in LA, let alone sleep.
Also, your claim is fairly disingenuousness given that new no-sleeping zones are constantly being implemented in response to the existence of encampments. Whenever more than a few people start sleeping on the street a sweep zone is not far behind.
In any case, this situation is going to change soon. The city council lost zero time getting ready to recriminalize street-sleeping generally in light of Grants Pass, with this motion that came out the very same day as the opinion.
