So. Unless you have permission to be on someone's private real estate, to you're now forbidden to sleep. Nothing dystopian about that.
Nonsense. I'm sure someone with a home and a job will be allowed to take a carnap on the quad of their public university. It's only illegal to do it when you have to.
You can predict the outcome of this court's decisions with two questions:
A: Will it cause chaos?
B: Is it cruel?
They seem to feel it's bonus points if the answer to both is yes.
Can we get a class action lawsuit to sue for housing? Isn't this almost entrapment like if the government doesn't supply space for people to sleep but the population is still growing and the border isn't completely sealed(not my solution I want) then shouldn't the government be forced to build new homes or at least bunkhouses?
Could just show up to your town's zoning board meetings and keep hammering them each and every time they turn down a residential permit application
I'd think that for a blanket no-homelessness policy to be even reasonably humane, each person would need a right of address, even a 50 sqft. parcel of public land in/by the town of choosing which they can call their domicile.
If nothing else of there can't be government funded housing then homesteading/camping outside of city limits and an advanced public transport system would be the only other option I can think of
They don't have to pay their housing but they must make sure they have the ability to make it to a job so they can avoid being homeless
Think I will donate some money and my homemade scarfs to a shelter this weekend. Clearly our Christian government isnt going to help guess it is up to us atheists.
I mean the "justification" used by the Christians who vote for this kind of thing is that it would be under for the government to take money from people to help others, and it's up to each individual with money to give freely to support the poor, or whatever.
That's what they say out loud, anyway. So they can blame atheists for not giving freely. Never mind that they tend to give less, but

state's rights is some fake ass bullshit
It smaller towns the homeless could protest this by just camping out in Central Park openly. If they arrest them all the jails will fill up pretty quickly and the costs would be higher than if you paid for all of their rent
They want to imprison homeless instead of house them to exploit them for slave labor. Abolish slavery in prisons and see if they keep outlawing homelessness.
