The homeless advocates should house the homeless in their own home if they care for the homeless people so much. The homeless issue will disappear if all the homeless advocates out there adopt one and house them in their own home. Taxpayers deserve to enjoy the public area that their tax dollars paid for without putting up with the filthy & dangerous conditions caused by homeless encampments. Instead, the homeless advocates just take the grant monies from the gov to pretend like they care about homeless people while laughing all the way to the bank. Homeless advocates just want more homeless people because they profit from them. These homeless advocates are only crying now cuz their revenue stream might become smaller after this ruling.

Most Americans are a paycheck away from being homeless themselves. I understand the need to move encampments out of business and residential areas, but that’s not the same as people sleeping on the sidewalk at night with a sleeping bag because they have no other choice. Rent and housing is unaffordable to half the country. But politicians aren’t addressing that!

Don’t you think that sidewalk is going to be by residential areas and businesses???? Use some common sense.
