Shame on Gavin Newsom for pushing this.
Source? I'm a little surprised to hear this, since increasing housing in CA has been a big push for him.
Poverty is illegal. We are all poor.
Well, I'm not from the United States, but I suppose this will force those cities to offer a viable alternative to homelessness. Things like free housing or the like
Let's criminalize being a cop.
Let's legalize guillotines. Someone call France.
Can I sext France instead?
Oui oui
Heya France, I'm gonna need you to surrender for a few minutes.
What if you aren't homeless but still sleep outside as if you were homeless? Is that allowed? Imagining someone registering an address where homeless can state that they live (but without actually living there), to circumvent the law..
At the end of the day, do you think that'll matter to cops? They're gonna arrest people either way.
“When tyranny becomes law, resistance becomes duty.” — Thomas Jefferson
When the government oversteps its authority and becomes tyrannical, then the governed have a responsibility to overthrow that government to reestablish the rights of the people to be free and only be governed by consent.
All recent stupid SC stuff is because of 6-3 votes. These old fucks are seated for life.
Alter their lifespan.
Lack of sleep can lead to psychosis and other mental issues. Preventing people from sleeping in some manner is just inviting unintentional consequences. More muggings, stabbings, rapes, looting or something else?
People being homeless is a failure of society, not an individual.

I don't think the consequences are unintentional. Torturing a homeless person by continuously harassing them for trying to get sleep, then recording them lashing out at a city worker or police officer after they've snapped, produces a set of video content that can be spread across the internet and used as kindling to turn the housed public against the homeless.
In the same way Project Veritas existed to harass and extort voting rights activists and health care centers, these laws and the associated anti-homeless activist base are going to be used to justify mass round-ups, imprisonments, and police executions of homeless people.
This is real actual fascism in practice.
People being homeless is a failure of society, not an individual.
“If You Born Poor,It is not your mistake, but if you die poor,it is your mistake”
― Bill Gates Sr., Showing Up for Life: Thoughts on the Gifts of a Lifetime
Should be noted that Gates Jr was born into a family of millionaires, with a mother who sat on the First Interstate Bank of Washington's Board of Directors and a father who was a founding member of the law firm PGE. If you want to talk about individuals who might be responsible for homelessness, these two are a good place to start. They've been "philanthropists" for most of their adult lives and commanded billions of dollars in charitable donations. But the their tenure in these non-profits and committees have yielded rising poverty, declining standards of living, and enormous new personal debts.
The folks who have horded the lion's share of the national wealth firmly believe that they aren't responsible for the consequential inequity and bankruptcy that their greed has produced.
I think the lack of empathy and compassion for homeless people comes from the puritanical roots of America where failure in some aspect of life was related to moral or character failure.
So again, it’s important to point out that the fact some people fall through the cracks means there are deficiencies in the social fabric which disallow optimal self determination for all individuals in that society. No one dreams of growing up to be a homeless person as a child.
America is the one country in the world which has the resources to pull off market socialism correctly. But many progressive ideals are off the table because of rich or billionaire class.
We should stop hating each other and just hate on the rich for robbing us of a healthy and well functioning society
where the fuck are they gonna sleep then? at home?
that's right homeless people, the US government has solved homelessness: "don't sleep outside, just buy a house!" /s
Why even worry about it when you can just bus them to California?
So sleeping outside is now as legal as breaking into someone's home to sleep? But if you break in you might get to sleep in jail away from the elements? What coukd go wrong.
Not ideal solution, but I'm so happy that something is being done. I think people who don't live in West Coast realize how much homeless people victimize working poor. That's me and my family. Rich people don't care that my wife can't take the Max to work for fear of being attacked. They'll just drive wherever they need to. My city just posted allowed camping map and guess what? It's all around apartments because it's close to transit. I've voted Democrats since I lived in this country, but they have been in charge of Oregon for ages and solved nothing.
