Put homeless people in jails? For being homeless?

There are plenty of things that are bad for the public health that have been decriminalized... drug use, public defecation, etc. If they simple enforced the laws, they'd have reason to have people stop living on the streets (where they have no reason to be), and start living in places set up to handle them ( asylums, jails, shelters, whatever you want to call it ).

Yes, most cites and states have laws against vagrancy. Just because something is "public property" doesn't mean you get to live or camp there.

That's what the coasts have come to, I guess.

Reminds me of Belarus. You have to pay fines for being homeless.

Honestly, I hope some homeless people shit in the mailbox of people suggesting such "solutions".

What if the homeless can't afford fines?

It will be put on a tab that makes sure you will never find a way out of homelessness again.
