More cities and states make homeless encampments a crime, leaving low-income people with few options

As the number of people experiencing homelessness increases across the country, more cities have passed laws making it illegal to sleep in public.

this is the inevitable outcome of the crazy "defund the police" demands.

stand by for the inevitable outcome of san francisco's bizarre plan to pay EACH BLACK RESIDENT $ 5 MILLION FOR BEING BLACK AND LIVING IN THE CITY.

If you thought san francisco real estate was insanely priced before, you haven't seen anything yet.

I want to open a BMW dealership there, if this goes through. And have a big accessory department with 24 inch chrome wheels, reverberating mufflers and boom bass sound systems.

I don't know either, that's why I asked.

If there isn't an answer to that simple question we are talking about empty words and political posturing.

They aren't really sending them anywhere - Just "away".


In December, Washoe County Commissioners in Nevada voted 3-2 to consider an ordinance to ban camping in tents or vehicles and storing personal items in public when it poses "significant harm to any person, or public area." Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor or a $500 fine. Within the county, Reno and Sparks already had similar ordinances in place.

In 2021, 25% of young people experiencing homelessness served by the Eddy House shelter in Reno lived on the streets, CEO Trevor Macaluso told USA TODAY. He added that people displaced by sweeps in Reno and Sparks usually relocate their encampment somewhere else in the city, which makes the bans ineffective.



"Somewhere else in the city" I'm guessing, means somewhere less visible to most city residents, and perhaps more importantly in the case of Reno, tourists.


So are state and local governments actually addressing the issue, or just hiding it somewhere? It appears the latter.

But then, was anyone expecting an effective solution from government? Why would they?

It would seem it's not posturing but a desire to have clean and safe streets free from homeless

So it's wack-a-mole. Just moving encampments from one spot to another.

Essentially, yes.

The government has no clue what to do about homelessness, it just doesn't want a lot of people to see it. It's not a good look for them.

They really aren’t all that interested in solving the problem, or many other problems our Country is facing right now.

Dunno. People desire cleanliness and safety moreso than threets that are dirty and crowded with homeless. Not here is a good posture

Pushback in San Francisco:

Judge probes San Francisco's encampment response

The City of San Francisco wants to know exactly how and when it can clear homeless encampments in the wake of a recent court ruling that limited its ability to do so.

Judge Donna Ryu declined to give a formal answer Thursday, but had a few questions of her own.

During a hearing on Thursday, Judge Ryu denied the motion for clarification filed by The City, which asked her to elaborate on the definition of “involuntarily homeless” in her December ruling.

Ryu issued a preliminary injunction that temporarily bars The City from enforcing five laws that restrict public camping and sitting on public sidewalks. However it still allows city outreach teams to continue to respond to encampments, offer shelters and temporarily clear sidewalks to allow for cleaning.
