- The Supreme Court cleared the way for cities to enforce bans on homeless people sleeping outside in public places on Friday, overturning a ruling from a California-based appeals court that found such laws amount to cruel and unusual punishment when shelter space is lacking.
The case is the high court's most significant ruling on the issue in decades and comes as a rising number of people in the U.S. are without a permanent place to live.

Make Asylums Great Again!
This decision is not a resolution of the homeless situation. I suspect many cities will ignore the ruling.
San Antonio is doing 700 homeless sweeps this year and has given out 1.2k tickets so far this year.
I caught one on camera a couple days ago
Now the Sheriff's department here in Burien refuse to enforce the Laws.
Yes whenever I hear Trump mention the mental ill it breaks my heart coming from a former President. I have serious mental disorders and have served over 30 years as a public servant with 3 college degrees. I did not do this alone however, yes there was much discrimination, but God never left me nor forsook me. God is love. God and my wife are the only reason I’m still alive. Jesus is alive and lives in me.
Seattle better do this. If not, more homeless will come here, fleeing other cities that enforce camping bans.
Why? There is nothing finer than being harassed by needy, brain fried drug addicts and avoiding stepping in human feces.
What you should do is designate an area for encampment OK and have it monitored by law-enforcement to keep everybody safe, because people do need help
isn't that an existing shelter?
How about no
enforcement has to be made, homeless encampments are devastating businesses and the public.
Rs don't want to fix the pRob when there's b4shing a minority for political gain to be made...then theres pRofit pRison$ too. You'll note that tRUMP wants to jail millions of migRant$ and anyone who doesn't like him. It's the new ma$$incaRceRation..😮 always follow the $!
It seems like a tea is fry that we have people sleeping on the streets and there are empty houses all over cities in the Midwest and south. What a waste of resources,
Soon there will be more homeless than housed, then what are you gonna do?
About time…I have a friend who’s sister has had to keep narcan just to administer to people camping outside her front room window in Eugene Oregon or watch them OD… campers dealing dope parked outside schools burying drugs and needles… no more.
i wish we were as strict on drugs, more specifically drug dealers, as are countries like singapore. that way the homelessness wouldnt be a product of or lead to drug usage. maybe then people may be more understanding of people having to sleep outside.
And you think this is going to fix anything your delusional
This isn't what you think it is.
It means homeless people will have to use designated areas. Not all over the sidewalks in commercial areas.
Most cities don't give them designated places. And the city will not lock up the drug dealers even when they know who they are. Guess why?
I just got video of SAPD for ticketing a man sleeping off the sidewalk in Travis Park…dude wasn’t by any businesses, wasn’t on any sidewalks, didn’t have trash beside him…they just rode up on bikes and ticketed him and ran him off.
Lots of people wake up cranky even if they have a good life…imagine how angry you might be if you were woken up by armed officers giving you a ticket for sleeping…then you’re ran off in 97+ degree weather…they made that man dangerous by treating him like that.

How about littering? Who's tackling THAT issue??
River Aid San Antonio regularly volunteers picking up litter all over the city.
I pick up litter…you yourself can pick up litter! But expecting homeless people who are treated worse than animals to pick up litter that’s silly.
The city could put trash cans near homeless camps…but they want the area to look horrible so they have an excuse to treat them violently.
How about just focus on getting self Destructive people off of drugs. Most homeless problems will go away after you do that. One thing.
How about personal responsibility
I was a homeless at one time. A veteran, no drugs, no alcohol, no smoking, and stayed clean . I'm about to be again because I get little to no help and just had a $1000.00 stolen from me by Bank of America. Almost all I get from veterans help. So I can't sustain my living conditions in apartment. No food.😮
keep funding billions of dollars to wars and poverty around the world. don't worry about your own people in difficulty!!!

Homeless Nakba
"Homeless, homeless, out-of-range,
where the hobos and the dispossessed pray,
where seldom is heard an encouraging word,
and the skies are chem-cloudy all day...
"Happily-housed, Happily-housed in their homes,
where empty trailers and cabins are displayed,
where often is heard a disparaging word,
and the coffers go ca-ching ca-ching all day..."
.
About time.
San Antonio has been ticketing people about it for quite a while…this year they’ve given out over 1.2k tickets.
Imagine if they went after fentanyl as hard as they did nappers and sidewalk chalk era lol.
The law is just an excuse for coward police to lock up defenseless homeless instead of dangerous predators.
Beautiful!!!! Finally!!!!
Are you going to invite a bipolar person that can't live with others in your home? These are desperate people your pushing to far.
I think it's a terrible idea. It just kicks the can further down the road. It's NIMBY nonsense.
And need I mention that this is entirely anti-Chistian?
Yes I agree. Our Creator, Jesus, was homeless. Jesus said, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.” So Jesus takes this personally and He is the head and the judge of His church. Many homeless are Christians too. My wife and I serve the homeless they don’t serve us. My wife and I have a shelter the homeless don’t, but if the church or government is not going to provide adequate housing than they have Jesus as a shelter and He has prepared a place in heaven for them. God is love.
So instead of helping them " with resources and if there crazy folks get them meds etc " others that should be here to begin with help them leave
BUH-BYE!
