If there's a Government sponsored building or facilities where they can sleep freely then I agree with the ruling. However If there's none at all...That's so inhumane.
People are losing their homes and becoming desperate... Let's blame the desperate people for this whole situation escalating, because clearly the homeless have all the power. With a little police assistance, ofc.

@@time2chill121it makes perfect sense, the town I live in is already doing this, slowly migrating the homeless community further and further from the city center, from businesses, from resources for them, from shade, from water, they're currently on the side of the highway (55mph) and the train tracks (no station nearby so they zoom through that area), and our community leaders just gave an announcement they'll be fining the homeless population again for "trespassing" in an empty lot because a business nearby complained about them, so they'll be forced likely the rest of the way into the desert (when we hit 101 today) or to the next town over (a 10 to 15 mile walk with all their belongings). If you can't tell, that's sarcasm, it does nothing other than cause more pain and difficulties for the people facing/experiencing homelessness.
@@LotusAuerthe vast majority of homeless people are drug addicts or people who want no responsibilities in life. I have no sympathy. I work my ass off and willingly take on the responsibility of living in society. This notion that homeless people are mostly just unlucky is a lie. Most of them do not care about those around them. They have no courtesy whatsoever. Their little cardbord signs usually have lies written on them. I know because my area has plenty of jobs available and these guys never take them. My brother has gone to them and said "hey, my shop has job openings, want to change tires for $15/hr?" They say no. Every. Single. Time.
That's how its already been, this ruling is basically telling all the communities that already punish their homeless that they're legally justified to do so.
How about instead of wanting to jail these people we find the money to help homelessness. Hey i know instead of sending billions to Ukraine and other places put it to work in the effort to stamp out this embarrassing and huge prob we have. Theres no way in a country like ours that we should have this prob.
Why would you advocate on abandoning an ally in war time instead of just reallocation of the funds we use to imprison the homeless and just use those funds for services to help them instead? We don't seem to have an issue imprisoning them and eating the cost (about $80,000 per person per year) when we do it that way, so obviously the money is there
Lol you can “punish” them 😂. Punish them how? Behind a nice warm prison cell with three squares, showers, & recreation!! 😂 America is becoming a failed state at this point 😂
It's not the responsibility of the government to provide anyone employment, housing, food, clothing or healthcare. That is the individuals responsibility. Either you take responsibility for yourself or you don't make it. The strong survive and the weak do not.
Maybe the intention behind the decision was to actually force the communities to find better solutions. We can’t say that allowing people to sleep on the streets is an act of compassion, come on! It’s a humiliating and extremely dangerous situation to be in. Letting them turn sidewalks into makeshift housing has just allowed us to ignore them and move on. Convenient, huh? They can just do their thing and we don’t have to worry about it. Perhaps this decision will push us to take steps for more meaningful support.
Go to sanctuary cities where the homeless are accepted by local government. It's very sad that our elected officials nationwide cannot turn their attention away from party politics to legislation that truly helps our hungry, our homeless and our uneducated. When will we wake up?
Our Creator, Jesus, was homeless. Jesus said, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.”
How many people have you taken in? Stop ignoring what's right in front of you. The streets are riddled with drug addled "zombies." We can't walk our own city streets after dark. Our parks are no longer safe for children to play in. Nobody wants to visit a store or restaurant that requires them to walk a gauntlet of human waste, angry schizos, and aggressive panhandling. It's not illegal to be homeless, but you can't ruin everyone else's life in the process.
When the Supreme Court decides sleeping on the streets is illegal, it becomes very easy to say all homeless people are just criminals, all of em, just breaking the law daily by even breathing the same air as us housed people. Did you ever consider crime by homeless people may be more complex than just a breakdown in moral character?
@@brantkimWhen they are put in prison, they’re exposed and socialized to people who actually commit worse crimes and have more likelihood to pick up those criminal habits and lifestyles when they are let out, and any psychological problems can worsen from life in prison. Also, getting a job and building a life after prison is incredibly difficult for them, even more so than before, because no one wants to hire or rent to or loan to or trust an ex-convict. All of this, just because they were down and out of a job or rent or evicted or had an addiction problem or a psychological or medical condition that hindered them and they literally had nowhere else to go and the law decides that they should be thrown in jail with real criminals instead of helping them get their lives back together and off the streets.
No, I’m pretty sure they’re good people and they’ll do the right thing like not shit in the streets and do drugs because there are our aunts and uncles that are out there. I was so close…. I almost said that with a straight face. No they’re pretty horrible people.😂
@@greekgirl9897 well I don’t know but maybe they should get a job and work like everybody has to and then they get their own worms. Why do you care so much about the homeless in the first place once you invite or adopt a homeless person and see what they do they crap up your house and take your money and there’s no redemption you people are silly very silly extremely silly very naïve and a little dumb, I have no sympathy for these freeloaders get off your ass and work for what you want in life if you have a drug addiction throw in rehab forcibly off drugs clean sober.
Health and safety concern for the homeless person? Absolutely. For the home/business owner? Hell no it isn't a health or safety concern just having somebody EXIST in or around their spaces. I seriously hope I'm just misunderstanding what you meant cause you sound like a knobend
Courts don't make solutions. Courts interpret laws. If you don't understand how our government works then you don't deserve voting rights. We need a test before you can vote.
Being homeless is not a crime. The crime is that we are supporting illegal immigrants that are crossing border and enjoy luxuries through our tax dollars. They could have used same resources to battle homelessness.
@@scottprather5645they must be on a city council that is trying to push their homeless population out of town and was getting push back from their court. Now they have full access to do whatever they want. Sick fùćƙß
While trillions of dollars are allocated during COVID-19, the problem of homelessness still persists, leaving many questioning the allocation of resources.. ...ijs Make that make sense
A VAST majority in my beach Community have chosen NOT to work. There are "Help Wanted" signs everywhere but they prefer camps, handouts- All the FREE Medical care, food. Ive cleaned toilets all day, worked 3 jobs at a time to make it in CA. They prefer to be 'declared w mental health issues' and get SSI
How do you work when you're told to leave a location every 3 days? They can't even stay near a job let alone grab a shower so they don't stink at work.
@@bfox138 Many of these people chose a lifestyle of getting high or drunk. The intention was to avoid having a job in the first place. The freedom not to work and sleep as long as they want. That is their form of independence. Eventually the booze and drugs mess up their brains. But they remain adamant about where they want to go and what they want to do. These are the same people you could not get to go to a homeless shelter even if it's 10 degrees outside!
We are showing our kids its ok to be homeless. If they are doing it, It's ok for you to do it. We should have higher standards for our Society It's not sanitary ,littering , destroying businesses, drugs , .
There are already bans on drugs and littering. This allows bans on SLEEPING OUTSIDE. Meaning you will now pay to imprison people who can't afford a bed to sleep in, via taxes. It would be cheaper to put every homeless person in a hotel room so they aren't sleeping on the street than to put them in jail for being poor.
@@Br0nto5aurus they wouldn't be in jail for being poor. they would be in jail for being an addict who refuses to stay at one of the free home shelters because they can't do drugs there.
@@jusone4271 they wouldn't need more capacity if these people cleaned up and got off the streets. this ruling will make them do that. don't forget these people used to live somewhere. they didn't come from a different planet. they turned to drugs for an easy way out because I guess life was just "too hard". guess what, it's hard for everyone. stop being a baby. take a shower and look for a job.
I think the best think the supreme court can do cause there is lots homeless people around all areas in the State and cities of California some people they got different stories that put them there in that situation but also 90% of homeless are aggressive they are drug addict alcoholic and smoking some are sexually rapist thieves which are dangerous to society. The worse part is the majority don't follow to respect private properties when they stay they just barge in and they don't really if trespassing and when police are called they play the victim like they did nothing . Most homeless people lived in trashy situations that contiminates lots germs that sread deadly healthy issues . Also there thousands of homeless resources they are willing to help homeless people but they dont want give it so yes i agree and respect the law . Its time to the law takes their piwer to higher level public communities and society are not for homeless people to lived . The city n states spend lots money cleaning after them is high risk for those they out there to clean . I feel no hate i wish them no harm or anything is understandable that is expensive to rent a place on their but City of Angels lost the beauty looks trashy is no longer safe to go no more public transportation LA metro train and buses get assaulted n kill downtown LA is one the most dangerous areas 90% homeless owes that area police has no control of it . I already experience being homeless and i got assaulted sexually n physically abused by homeless police did nothing . They laughed at me instead. I stand by this supreme court order .
Good, that said - I'm all for helping people and extending a helping hand but if you're homeless because you've turned down (sober living) aid then I have zero sympathy for you. Get your life together.
So you're categorizing all homeless the same way. Basically if someone gets sick or hurt living a normal life that ends up being homeless due to complications from their situation then they deserve jail?
There it is right there .. the people from india paid themselves from american funds at the united nations to come into this country and buy the corner stores across this country. And this created homelessness like in their country. She has her foreign nerve to complain about a situation they created. Sorry just the hard facts.
You know we can use our brains to come up with a solution, right? Maybe treatment centers for non-violent individuals rather than prison.

When I was homeless after my husband died I don't remember anyone helping, all I was told was there was no room in the shelters. Hospital bills used all we had worked for.
Our great grand kids will think being poor is CRIMINAL. Poverty is criminalized as it is but this law is very clear cut We are literally incarcerating human-beings for having less than those in power. This is where we are in America. Where will they go after being punished for homelessness? Once released, what is the plan? This is absolutely insane.

If there's a Government sponsored building or facilities where they can sleep freely then I agree with the ruling. However If there's none at all...That's so inhumane.
Like a jail? Free food, water, shower housing, books.... Those places? Obviously being sarcastic
You take some in
@@jblob5764how does a crimal back ground help them get back on their feet?

Inhumane if we do, inhumane if we don't whatever buttercup
But we can house ILLEGAL immigrants in hotels and an old prison in Norfolk. This country is a freaking crap shoot!
People are losing their homes and becoming desperate... Let's blame the desperate people for this whole situation escalating, because clearly the homeless have all the power. With a little police assistance, ofc.
What in the hell is going on in Washington, a bunch of heartless hot garbage making rules. When is enough enough
Is that all everyone does is criticize the homeless??help them!!
So,
It's not ok to sleep outside, they have nowhere inside to sleep,.....
Ok,
this helps the overall situation a lot.
You know we can use our brains to come up with a solution, right? Maybe treatment centers for non-violent individuals rather than prison. Once you can show you can stay off drugs and hold a job, you can move to a halfway house until you get back on your feet and can afford your own place. We literally have hundreds of billions to send to other countries to fund wars, we can surely invest in our less fortunate here at home. The problem is that many of these people don’t want to get better on their own, and end up ruining communities for everyone else when left to their own devices. It’s not compassionate to let an addict waste away on the streets and just walk by them, while our cities become crime infested and unsanitary and people die in the streets.
Makes no sense at all.
@@time2chill121it makes perfect sense, the town I live in is already doing this, slowly migrating the homeless community further and further from the city center, from businesses, from resources for them, from shade, from water, they're currently on the side of the highway (55mph) and the train tracks (no station nearby so they zoom through that area), and our community leaders just gave an announcement they'll be fining the homeless population again for "trespassing" in an empty lot because a business nearby complained about them, so they'll be forced likely the rest of the way into the desert (when we hit 101 today) or to the next town over (a 10 to 15 mile walk with all their belongings).
If you can't tell, that's sarcasm, it does nothing other than cause more pain and difficulties for the people facing/experiencing homelessness.
@@LotusAuerthe vast majority of homeless people are drug addicts or people who want no responsibilities in life. I have no sympathy. I work my ass off and willingly take on the responsibility of living in society. This notion that homeless people are mostly just unlucky is a lie. Most of them do not care about those around them. They have no courtesy whatsoever. Their little cardbord signs usually have lies written on them. I know because my area has plenty of jobs available and these guys never take them. My brother has gone to them and said "hey, my shop has job openings, want to change tires for $15/hr?" They say no. Every. Single. Time.
Wow
Guess they will be released from prison into new homes!
Blue sick Dems are to blame.FJB!
Of course, who else is going to fund the private prison industry and legal slavery. Sick of this Supreme Court already
It’s won’t solve the homeless problem overall, it will just encourage the homeless to get on a bus and go to a city without the bans.
That's how its already been, this ruling is basically telling all the communities that already punish their homeless that they're legally justified to do so.
How about instead of wanting to jail these people we find the money to help homelessness. Hey i know instead of sending billions to Ukraine and other places put it to work in the effort to stamp out this embarrassing and huge prob we have. Theres no way in a country like ours that we should have this prob.
Tey DID pour millions into it. California politicians needed the money worse than the homeless
Why would you advocate on abandoning an ally in war time instead of just reallocation of the funds we use to imprison the homeless and just use those funds for services to help them instead? We don't seem to have an issue imprisoning them and eating the cost (about $80,000 per person per year) when we do it that way, so obviously the money is there
How much more can you punish homeless people 😂😂😂
Hitler just offed them, although I imagine some homeless people find that less of a punishment than just living
Lol you can “punish” them 😂. Punish them how? Behind a nice warm prison cell with three squares, showers, & recreation!! 😂 America is becoming a failed state at this point 😂
It's not the responsibility of the government to provide anyone employment, housing, food, clothing or healthcare. That is the individuals responsibility. Either you take responsibility for yourself or you don't make it. The strong survive and the weak do not.
Maybe the intention behind the decision was to actually force the communities to find better solutions. We can’t say that allowing people to sleep on the streets is an act of compassion, come on! It’s a humiliating and extremely dangerous situation to be in. Letting them turn sidewalks into makeshift housing has just allowed us to ignore them and move on. Convenient, huh? They can just do their thing and we don’t have to worry about it. Perhaps this decision will push us to take steps for more meaningful support.
Go to sanctuary cities where the homeless are accepted by local government. It's very sad that our elected officials nationwide cannot turn their attention away from party politics to legislation that truly helps our hungry, our homeless and our uneducated. When will we wake up?
Our Creator, Jesus, was homeless. Jesus said, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.”

How many people have you taken in?
Stop ignoring what's right in front of you. The streets are riddled with drug addled "zombies." We can't walk our own city streets after dark. Our parks are no longer safe for children to play in. Nobody wants to visit a store or restaurant that requires them to walk a gauntlet of human waste, angry schizos, and aggressive panhandling. It's not illegal to be homeless, but you can't ruin everyone else's life in the process.
@@johnfetter It's only MAGA siding with commies like Putin and Kim Jong Un. STFU MAGA snowflake

Note to everyone: If you don't like where you live do what I did.

Being homeless is not a crime but a lot of crimes are committed by homeless people.
When the Supreme Court decides sleeping on the streets is illegal, it becomes very easy to say all homeless people are just criminals, all of em, just breaking the law daily by even breathing the same air as us housed people.
Did you ever consider crime by homeless people may be more complex than just a breakdown in moral character?
And crimes are not committed by rich people? Yes they are but they just get away with it!
there is no where safe for the homeless to go. this is so sad
Punishing people for sleeping outside will only fill the jails and make more people commit crimes
How does more people in jail cause people to commit crime? Being in jail usually prevents people from committing crime.
@@brantkim How long do you think they will be kept in jail but still not have a home to go to?
@@brantkimWhen they are put in prison, they’re exposed and socialized to people who actually commit worse crimes and have more likelihood to pick up those criminal habits and lifestyles when they are let out, and any psychological problems can worsen from life in prison. Also, getting a job and building a life after prison is incredibly difficult for them, even more so than before, because no one wants to hire or rent to or loan to or trust an ex-convict. All of this, just because they were down and out of a job or rent or evicted or had an addiction problem or a psychological or medical condition that hindered them and they literally had nowhere else to go and the law decides that they should be thrown in jail with real criminals instead of helping them get their lives back together and off the streets.
No, I’m pretty sure they’re good people and they’ll do the right thing like not shit in the streets and do drugs because there are our aunts and uncles that are out there. I was so close…. I almost said that with a straight face. No they’re pretty horrible people.😂
@@greekgirl9897 well I don’t know but maybe they should get a job and work like everybody has to and then they get their own worms. Why do you care so much about the homeless in the first place once you invite or adopt a homeless person and see what they do they crap up your house and take your money and there’s no redemption you people are silly very silly extremely silly very naïve and a little dumb, I have no sympathy for these freeloaders get off your ass and work for what you want in life if you have a drug addiction throw in rehab forcibly off drugs clean sober.
it's not OK to even live outdoor in front of people houses and businesses at all. it's a health and safety problem.

Where do you think homeless can go?
Yeah it's called being homeless. Do you think those businesses will take some of their profits and built homeless shelters? No.
Health and safety concern for the homeless person? Absolutely. For the home/business owner? Hell no it isn't a health or safety concern just having somebody EXIST in or around their spaces. I seriously hope I'm just misunderstanding what you meant cause you sound like a knobend
@@bfox138 So you want businesses to solve a problem you don't like. While you yourself contributed nothing but emotion.
Yes. Brilliant. Instead of helping the homeless, we will use tax payers dollars to enforce punishment, exacerbating the problem.
Wouldn’t helping them cost tax payer money too?
Courts don't make solutions. Courts interpret laws. If you don't understand how our government works then you don't deserve voting rights. We need a test before you can vote.
Fun country we got here.

Dear God they gotta go!!!! I cant believe WE THE PEOPLE whose country this BELONGS to dont have ANY power to remove them ...I mean wtf?

Being homeless is not a crime. The crime is that we are supporting illegal immigrants that are crossing border and enjoy luxuries through our tax dollars. They could have used same resources to battle homelessness.
FINALLY!

@@scottprather5645there is no solution. The best solution is to keep kids and honest people safe

A VAST majority in my beach Community have chosen NOT to work. There are "Help Wanted" signs everywhere but they prefer camps, handouts- All the FREE Medical care, food. Ive cleaned toilets all day, worked 3 jobs at a time to make it in CA. They prefer to be 'declared w mental health issues' and get SSI
How do you work when you're told to leave a location every 3 days? They can't even stay near a job let alone grab a shower so they don't stink at work.
Do you ever stop and think that they have mental health issues that get in the way of them keeping a job?
Why haven't you left cali?
@@bfox138 Many of these people chose a lifestyle of getting high or drunk. The intention was to avoid having a job in the first place. The freedom not to work and sleep as long as they want. That is their form of independence. Eventually the booze and drugs mess up their brains. But they remain adamant about where they want to go and what they want to do. These are the same people you could not get to go to a homeless shelter even if it's 10 degrees outside!

We are showing our kids its ok to be homeless. If they are doing it, It's ok for you to do it. We should have higher standards for our Society
It's not sanitary ,littering , destroying businesses, drugs , .
There are already bans on drugs and littering. This allows bans on SLEEPING OUTSIDE. Meaning you will now pay to imprison people who can't afford a bed to sleep in, via taxes. It would be cheaper to put every homeless person in a hotel room so they aren't sleeping on the street than to put them in jail for being poor.
@@Br0nto5aurus they wouldn't be in jail for being poor. they would be in jail for being an addict who refuses to stay at one of the free home shelters because they can't do drugs there.
The shelters don't even have the capacity to do that if a mass amount of people did as you say@@Teolulz
@@jusone4271 they wouldn't need more capacity if these people cleaned up and got off the streets. this ruling will make them do that. don't forget these people used to live somewhere. they didn't come from a different planet. they turned to drugs for an easy way out because I guess life was just "too hard". guess what, it's hard for everyone. stop being a baby. take a shower and look for a job.
@@Br0nto5aurusTheir not in jail "for being poor". It's because of bad choices/mental problems.
I think the best think the supreme court can do cause there is lots homeless people around all areas in the State and cities of California some people they got different stories that put them there in that situation but also 90% of homeless are aggressive they are drug addict alcoholic and smoking some are sexually rapist thieves which are dangerous to society. The worse part is the majority don't follow to respect private properties when they stay they just barge in and they don't really if trespassing and when police are called they play the victim like they did nothing . Most homeless people lived in trashy situations that contiminates lots germs that sread deadly healthy issues . Also there thousands of homeless resources they are willing to help homeless people but they dont want give it so yes i agree and respect the law . Its time to the law takes their piwer to higher level public communities and society are not for homeless people to lived . The city n states spend lots money cleaning after them is high risk for those they out there to clean . I feel no hate i wish them no harm or anything is understandable that is expensive to rent a place on their but City of Angels lost the beauty looks trashy is no longer safe to go no more public transportation LA metro train and buses get assaulted n kill downtown LA is one the most dangerous areas 90% homeless owes that area police has no control of it . I already experience being homeless and i got assaulted sexually n physically abused by homeless police
did nothing . They laughed at me instead. I stand by this supreme court order .
Woo hoo! Finally some common sense!
Stop giving them free shit!
Good, that said - I'm all for helping people and extending a helping hand but if you're homeless because you've turned down (sober living) aid then I have zero sympathy for you. Get your life together.

Jail = somewhere to sleep
That the people are paying for with their own taxes. I’d rather my taxes go somewhere else than prison
So you're categorizing all homeless the same way. Basically if someone gets sick or hurt living a normal life that ends up being homeless due to complications from their situation then they deserve jail?
Man I love this court. They missed the mark on their last ruling but this one is so nice. Now I may vote in this upcoming election.
It's about time!
There it is right there .. the people from india paid themselves from american funds at the united nations to come into this country and buy the corner stores across this country. And this created homelessness like in their country. She has her foreign nerve to complain about a situation they created. Sorry just the hard facts.
