| Many people misunderstand what this case was about. > Homeless need shelter and help. It is inhumane that we let them rot on the streets. The issue being argued was not that homeless should be able to camp where ever and whenever they want. This issue was that if you don't provide shelter then you cannot kick them out of public spaces. If that was the law, then it would mean you need to build shelters if you don't want homeless in the streets. What this new verdict means is: - You can forcibly remove homeless people who have nowhere else to go - Thus homelessness can be effectively illegal - The only realistic solutions now are: - Put the homeless in prisons
- Move them to cities and towns that don't have the resources to remove them.
