Tents, public defecation and drug use were just as much of a problem in the 30s. They called tent cities "Hoovervilles" at the time [0]. The prevalence of poverty in the 1930s was the impetus for "aesthetics" laws like these. Like today, homeowners wanted to preserve property values and living standards in their immediate surroundings. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooverville |
