In April, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a major case that could reshape how cities manage homelessness. The legal issue is whether they can fine or arrest people for sleeping outside if there’s no shelter available. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has deemed this cruel and unusual punishment, and this case is a pivotal challenge to that ruling.
The high court declined to take up a similar case in 2019. But since then, homelessness rates have climbed relentlessly. Street encampments have grown larger and have expanded to new places, igniting intense backlash from residents and businesses. Homelessness and the lack of affordable housing that’s helping to drive it have become key issues for many voters.
The case, Grants Pass v. Johnson, could have dramatic implications for the record number of people living in tents and cars across the United States.
Instead of fines or arrests, how about accommodation?
“House the homeless? I’d much rather my tax money go to buying tanks for the police.” - Average NIMBY
But that would cost rich people money. Can’t have that.
I mean you don’t get rich without exploiting people. You don’t get rich being morally responsible.
This is literally a war. It’s rich vs poor.
Theres plenty of accomadation. The problem is that they refuse to use it.
“Why do people choose to live under bridges wherever they want instead of in one giant communal room where they have a cot they can be raped on when they try to sleep?”
It’s spelled accommodation. For someone that supposedly graduated college you’d think you’d know that.
“THEY” don’t refuse anything. Some people do.
Not that you give a shit. You just regurgitate whatever your asshole uncle tells you to without thinking.
Fuck back off to posting Fox News articles in your conservative circlejerk hut and stay there, shitbag. No real human wants to interact with you cunts.
That’s what I said. They give out fines and arrests because they refuse to let people into the accommodations
