- The Supreme Court reversed a lower court ruling today finding that city ordinances that impose restrictions on public camping do not constitute "cruel and unusual punishment" under Eight Amendment protections.
Today's decision, calling into question the precedent set in the 2018 Martin v. Boise case, which established that cities could not criminalize public camping if there were no shelter beds available to the homeless population.

They'll spend millions to police people who need help, but avoid paying a penny to help them be housed.
$35,000 a year to house somebody in jail
They're more than happy to pay that
What are THEY doing to keep themselves housed? Most of them don't want to be responsible.
it is now illegal to be homeless.
So, now what? Obviously, there aren't enough living spaces in the shelters and to be placed there personal possessions are not provided for. Theft is primary in the shelters. Now you're a criminal because you don't have a place to stay. How many vacant buildings are in the city which could be converted to housing? Is that impossible? Too costly? A lot of money is already spent on the "homeless" problem. Maybe a different view would help. All citizens will never agree on how to fix this. However, a choice must be made and followed through. This problem will never "just go away" and jail is not the solution.
$35,000 per year per prisoner
That's the current cost of the "jail solution"
As long as people keep taking drugs and dropping out of society their will be homelessness. People work darn hard not to be homeless, and they don't deserve to be trampled upon the homeless and their trash, poopies, criminal activities, and endangering our children or our parks. We are tiered of it.
The problem isn't the camping if in the morning the people would pack up their stuff and move along. The problem is that people are squatting on public property making that their home and staying there.
No mention of the Blackrock or AirBnB problem
Pretty f**ing biased buddy
move on to where? please solve that problem for us.
@@scottmcshannon6821 behind a billboard, under a freeway over pass, next to a canal or even better US Forest land. I spent 5 years stealth camping in California, never staying in the same place two nights in a row and leaving no trace behind when I left. When I bought a minivan, I moved it every day.
Good luck collecting fines on people who don't even have money for housing. What are you gonna do, jail them thus paying for their food and shelter?

How did we do it years past?
Homelessness and camping on our streets were against the law, period.
SCOTUS GOT IT RIGHT
Living wage. Something that pays ALL the biils. And you still have a couple dollars left. Living wage today is about $40.00 hour. Anything under that is just pennies. And Social Security is the joke of our life time. That is slave wages. The people need to start.......
Ok, Comrade
Give up your amenities
Move out of the cities/suburbs
Rural folk do just fine
2 paychecks away from homelessness? your doing something wrong then.
No mention of the Blackrock or AirBnB problem
Pretty f**ing biased buddy
But you give them shelter. We ha reached over a million homeless were is the room. You lie.
