one element of Grants Pass is that it’s not just about whether you can enforce anti-camping laws against the homeless. it’s about whether you can enforce those laws **even when you haven’t provided adequate shelter beds**

That ‘even when’ really feels like an ‘especially when’.

I did not know that. People in Grants Pass will die during the winter. That is for sure.

This I don't understand. The founders understood camping. They camped all the time. Were there anti camping laws in 1746?

SCOTUS has given local governments a pass to simply stop all spending on shelters and other services and through draconian policing force all homeless people out of the city, away from any resources or support networks. Like the late 19th Century when there were vagabond and vagrancy ordinances.

If there was a law requiring people to buy insurance but there was no insurance for sale and no government program to provide it, conservative justices would strike that down instantly. And they did!

it's "homeless people don't have the right to live, but the government does have the right to oppress homeless people however it sees fit"

And don't forget, the VAST majority of homeless populations are local, not people who "moved in to take advantage of the climate and better services." They had homes there. They still have a support system there. They are hardly ever migrants, short of having family there now.

the 9th Circuit never said that you can’t, e.g., bust up homeless encampments. They just said that before you do, you need to provide shelter beds, otherwise you’re just being punitive and cruel. An extremely basic a call for decency, but many West Coast city leaders were outraged
