If it’s illegal to sleep on the streets, then it must be illegal for the government not to have housing for the citizens that do not have housing.
-
Fight Homelessness not the Homeless. The Supreme Court did the exact opposite.
-
What an absolutely disgusting decision from the US courts. It's not a crime to be poor. Cruel.😢
-
Crazy they have the money to support the excessive costs associated with criminalizing homelessness—but they don’t have money to actually help these indivuals🤷♀️
-
The price of rent is beyond ridiculous.
-
Just another example of government demonstrating that they do the polar-opposite of what Jesus would do.
-
How on Earth can the Supreme Court pass any such laws when it is constitutionally illegal to prosecute the poor?
-
Subsidized housing is more economical than criminalizing, prosecuting and locking up homeless individuals. Housing needs to be made available. Some people fall on hard times or have difficulty navigating life. Many times, if an individual is provided opportunity, they will thrive. As a modern society, it is our responsibility to help our neighbors. If you are Christian, I think it says somewhere in the bible to love thy neighbor.
-
Why can't the cities build studio apartment buildings to provide permanent housing for the huge numbers of homeless people. Job assistance, food stamps, social services, etc. could also be provided.
-
What's it going to take for people to realize they are justified to disregard the rules and do what needs to be done against the establishment and those within it?
-
I'm actually writing a paper on homelessness for my Comp 2 class. I've volunteered for years on Skid road, the problem is homelessness and not the homeless. Not providing the homeless shelter, along with locking them up, I feel is criminal within itself. Remember, in the bible, the Rich man and Lazarus?
-
Money for war but no money for homeless people
-
incredible, nothing makes sense anymore
-
When did compassion and common sense become a sin?
-
Moving the former working class into private prison labor leases a return to a chattel slavery based economy
-
Are we to expect homeless trains like they did with the orphans in the 1800s? This is ridiculous. Spending money to lock them up instead of spending it on finding real solutions to a growing problem. If uninhabited land isn't owned by lumber and other companies It's a national park. Where can people go that someone or some company won't complain? We have to do better than this.
-
The fact that your society has people that don’t have homes (and now, apparently, can’t be outside either!), says very little about them, but speaks volumes about your society. Owisicu owe waste sni.
-
These Judges Will Meet Face To Face With Almighty GOD!
-
If people’s basic needs cannot be met, the social contract has been broken.
-
The intersection of leaving a Indigenous community out of these conversations who s land the USempire is a settler on and has pushed them on to reservations is not missed on it’s children… I’m one of them and saying this doesn’t negate the very real experience of our unhoused either
