SCOTUS today: First up, Homeless people lose and can be banned from sleeping -- nm - decline Jun 28, 07:16 13
- Logically? If I am homeless person and this is now the rule? I start committing crimes so I can get arrested to go to prison to receive housing. -- nm* - Jovian Jun 28, 07:25 12
  - It costs more to house them in prison than it would to give them a rental voucher. Also, many homeless have mental health issues that aren't being - Krusty Jun 28, 07:31 9
    - Our city is doing the best they can but you can't legally force people to accept help. So many people (for many reasons) don't want to come - Meg Jun 28, 08:03

        Yup and cities will waste money and manpower giving tickets and locking up people that will never pay. -- nm - Krusty Jun 28, 07:45
        
        to where though? the next town? where they are then kicked out again? Thus, committing crimes is the solution for the homeless now to receive housing. -- nm - Jovian Jun 28, 07:37
  - right? write me all the tickets you want. I can't pay them. So now what? -- nm - Pippy Jun 28, 07:27 1
