More damaging than living in those _exact same tents_ hidden further back in the greenbelt? Or more damaging than not even having a tent at all, and crawling into a storm sewer somewhere and risking drowning?

This claim just doesn't make any sense. So we need a law to make it illegal, but we won't actually arrest anyone, we swear. We'll just ask them to move along 200 feet to another street. And this is going to somehow cleanup the streets.
If you want to clean up the streets by arresting everyone, own it. We'll debate that on its own merits.
But if you claim no one is going to be arrested, just going to "move", where are they going to move? How is that going to prevent pollution?
