After all, it costs money they don't have to maintain a nice camping area.
If they do it would be a horrible mistake.
Homelessness is simply NOT a federal government issue. The Constitution gives the feds NO authority or power over homelessness. It is a local/states’ issue. SCOTUS would get it right by remanding it to the state(s) where the issue belongs.
Common.
What will it take to get us back to our Free Constitutional Republic with a constitutionally VERY limited federal government and constitutional state sovereignty?
A right doesn’t require somebody to give something up.
Somebody has to give up land for a person to camp there.
If they say we can camp in public, I’m getting a great big outfitters wall tent with a wood stove and putting it up in a nearby national park.
Who needs a house payment?
The SC will probably insist the municipalities provide alternatives like shelter space or a designated area in which to camp. I don’t see how they can outlaw homelessness itself these people are going to have to sleep somewhere.
Sleeping in the street is a privilege and not a right.
After all, it costs money they don't have to maintain a nice camping area.
It's not peaceable assembly when they are defecating on the street, openly doing drugs, openly engaging in prostitution, openly engaging in solicitation, and openly blocking access to commerce and use of public spaces.

Squatting in public spaces is not a right. You’ll have bands claiming ownership of public parks if you allow the homeless to camp anywhere.
This was the 1940s veterans’ attempt to get help from Washington.

At least 259 men were killed and “the final indignity was mass cremation.”
The GI Bill was passed later partly as a reaction.
From the Bill of Rights Institute: The bonus Army.
“On June 15, the House of Representatives passed the new bonus bill by a vote of 211 to 176. Two days later, some 8,000 veterans massed in front of the Capitol as the Senate prepared to vote, while another 10,000 assembled before the raised Anacostia drawbridge. The police were anticipating trouble because of the large crowds. The Senate debate continued until after dark. Finally, at 9:30 p.m., Waters learned that the bill had been defeated and shared the news with his followers.”
“When it appeared that the bonus would not be paid, many of the marchers refused to leave, and President Hoover ordered the Army to evict them. Using tear gas, tanks, and a troop of saber-wielding cavalry commanded by Major George S. Patton, U.S. Army chief of staff General Douglas MacArthur drove the marchers out of Washington and burned their main camp on the Anacostia Flats.”
On Federal or state land? Private land? Everyone else buys a campsite and pays taxes for land.
Only they have water and sewer but not the running in the streets kind ,LOL
give all the homeless a map to these judges front lawns and then we will talk about “victimless”
Does anyone think that if SCOTUS rules against the right to “camp” that states won’t use it to go against everyone EXCEPT the homeless drug addicts in city parks and on sidewalks?
They will deem someone living in a mobile home on their own 50 acres as “camping”. They will go after people camping in wilderness area. Liberals will be creative to use the laws to criminalize lake side overnight camping for fishing. They will find any reason to go after conservatives. They use any laws against everyone except those causing problems.
You misspelled “crap” as “camp”.
A general Constitutional right to build a house in the middle of a public sidewalk and live there indefinitely? The very idea is laughable.
More 9th Circuit lunacy that SCOTUS should reject 9-0.
I have never been a big government guy but it’s time the fed do something about the cost of rent and home prices. A home should never have a monthly cost higher than 30 percent of the local community average household income and companies should not be allowed to purchase large numbers of homes and run rental prices up.
Our nice little town on the San Francisco Peninsula has a craft fair on State Street today. We just stopped to get an ice cream at the Baskin Robbins and came out to an insane woman screaming at everybody, waving her arms and mildly threatening all the people. She is a real mental case and needs to be in a hospital. I called the cops and the dispatcher told me others had called, but she used the old liberal line “There’s nothing we can do unless she’s threatening to kill people or kill herself.” I didn’t record her lunatic gibberish, but it sure sounded threatening; people were scared and moving away from her. What a standard — you have to threaten to kill others or yourself before the cops can do anything. At least they did dispatch cops to talk to her.
It’s so nice that we are liberal and tolerant of utterly insane people ruining our town.
Maybe if can end the “right” of bums to sleep wherever they want and totally ruin our public spaces we can next end the “right” of insane people to ruin our towns.
