“Much of this case is rooted in the idea that if we punish people, they’ll choose not to be homeless, and nothing could be further from the truth.” The Supreme Court could decide whether or not being homeless is a crime.

Remember that every measure done to make sure homeless people never have a second of comfort or relief just ends up making society worse for everyone. They’re on the way to making it impossible to sit ANYWHERE except in your own home. https://t.co/322MfrTsPA
