The Oregon case. Now that the Supreme Court has cleared the way for cities to enforce bans on homeless camps, will blue cities act?

[DigitalDrifter]

They've now lost the excuse that they are legally prevented from doing anything about homeless people taking over public spaces, so will they act? Or will they continue to allow the toxic filth and garbage to pile up in spaces like parks, sidewalks, park strips etc? I'm betting it's the latter.

Divided Supreme Court rules in major homelessness case that outdoor sleeping bans are OK

California Gov. Gavin Newsome says a Supreme Court ruling that cities can enforce bans on people sleeping outdoors in West Coast areas will give local officials more freedom to address the crisis.

Are they going to jail them all if they refuse to move?

Are they going to jail them all if they refuse to move?

They'll be the new members in a revival of chain gangs.

Many homeless have mental health problems. Nice of you to label them as "filth".

Where are you gonna put these people?

SC(r)OTUS just criminalized poverty.

"Christian values" at work.

The key will be to finding them jobs that pay north of 25 dollars per hour.

The court cowardly ruled. They do this often. They noted that bans can be enacted but Gorsuch notes that they aren't necessarily even enforceable.

He suggested that people who have no choice but to sleep outdoors could raise that as a “necessity defense,” if they are ticketed or otherwise punished for violating a camping ban.

And how do you expect that to work out for them in the red districts that already wanted them out?

Not well, is my thought.

not sure weather its cruel or unusual for a government to fine and jail it's citizens over an issue they created here......~S~

It's beyond easy to keep clean air and water standards.

If the derelicts are sober and/or not drug addicts then herd them into camps far away from the city

Enablers like you are the problem!

Nice dodge.

Enabler? I'm simply noting the facts of the situation. What I believe has no bearing whatsoever on the facts.

They can move to the sanctuary cities.

Oh wait... those are only for illegals.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Nice dodge.

Not a dodge. Go back and read my OP. I was referring to the filth that goes along with these people.
