ITT a whole lot of people talking shit while their local governments are doing the exact same thing. This is a map from 2015. It's only gotten worse since then.
If what's happening in Florida disgusts you then check your own laws first.
It’s not a political thing, it’s an urban vs. rural thing. Cities tend to have more robust services for the homeless, so naturally homeless people wind up gravitating there.
They’ll find a way to suspend the law so it doesn’t affect victims of the hurricanes and then reinstitute them again later.
No, it's cities. Many cities have their own ordinances that clear out homeless encampments. Rural folk didn't institute those ordinances.
We’re not disagreeing. I’m just pointing out rural towns don’t have the problem of homeless people creating tent cities because they don’t tend to have the services homeless people need to begin with.
"Banned sitting in public"??
"Loitering"
I didn't see that one but I wouldn't be surprised. They keep coming up with inane stuff that only applies to those people.
