Supposedly it is enforced, but I'm not sure how. There are cameras at the toll booths near the border, and property ownership is public record.

Maybe that's how. But, I think it's just a way for the mayor to say she's "doing" something.

I'd bet it was mandatory in name only and not a single solitary person was even warned.

My friend got back from Egypt in the middle of this (April) and they handed him a pamphlet and asked him to isolate two weeks (which he did).

This stuff is not remotely enforceable.

For a while Utah tried to text people via amber alerts as they crossed the border, but the amber alerts were being picked up randomly by people all over town, so they had to scrap the whole process a few hours after it launched.

From the city website:

Individuals found in violation of the Order are subject to fines of $100 - $500 per day, up to $7,000.

How do they know who came in from wherever?  There must be thousands and more folks arriving daily in the city from wherever.  And they check all those SM sites?

I doubt it.  This is bluster, and probably uncon.

Well, I don't think we've really even tried, here. 

I think Hawaii actually did enforce it. Because they're an island nation and people basically arrive by plane or ship, they were able to know who was incoming. I believe they actually did track it.

Overseas, they have done much more to enforce. A girl I work with had to go to Taiwan due to a death in her family, and she had to have an app on her phone to track. She was restricted to ONLY being in her hotel room for either 10 or 14 days. 

But to a large extent, because of the significant amount of mobility [especially by car and nearly untraceable] between states in the US, they can't do a very good job figuring out who is where and don't have the infrastructure or manpower to follow up to make sure people are doing it--and Americans would probably revolt if they tried.

This is precisely why the government is pushing the whole fake COVID story.  Once they implant the Bill Gates 5G chips in all of us with the completely unnecessary vaccine for  hoax virus, it'll be a lot easier for them to track-- and control-- our movements.

We all carry a tracking device voluntarily at all times, and pay a pretty penny to do so in most cases.

That's one of the predictions that many sci fi productions of yesteryear got wrong. 

They all had that tracking device scene where the guy was strapped to the table, and some robotic arm came down and inserted the tracking chip into his belly button, or behind his eye, or onto his spine. 

Nope. Make it a phone and a camera, and give it internet access. The masses will stand in line for hours, hoping to get the latest version of their tracking device.
