"The Supreme Court’s decision in the case out of southern Oregon, expected in June, will broadly impact how local governments write homelessness policy in the United States."
Wanna know how you get a doom loop? Let cities like Grants Pass make it illegal to be homeless, so the affected people go to a city like Portland, which is probably not going to pass such a law (yet), causing the pressure there to increase, making everybody angry and miserable until Portland passes the law, and then ...
Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson is saying "look how much worse the libberul cities are now".
@joelvanderwerf Once you make everywhere illegal to be homeless, your prisons become your homeless shelters.
Significant profits will be made in building and staffing more of them, at the taxpayers expense, of course. Until, as housing prices increase and jobs get eliminated, they too lose their housing, and become homeless, and get sent to prison as well.
When that gets too expensive, I'm sure the remaining billionaires will devise a Final Solution to the problem.
Helen Cruz racked up more than $2,000 in fines for sleeping in Grants Pass parks when she was homeless for about six years but now lives at a church feeding others who live on the southern Oregon city’s streets.
Almost half of Cruz’s fines came in 2022.
