I feel like this cannot possibly be constitutional. But I don't know of any advocacy groups for the homeless willing to spend the money to fight this :/

I know I and other homeless can't.

I feel like there is a thing about being arrested for dumb laws? Discriminatory laws?

How about unreasonable fines? No homeless person has $750 for a fine to blow.

Or how about slave labor? If you can't pay the fine you have to enter into a work program with the state? No homeless person has that money. I'm pretty sure that's literally a few dollars less than what someone on minum wage makes in 2 weeks, so it's the threshold for working poor who won't be able to survive without that money. .

And this doesn't just happen once. People need to sleep every night/day.

The cost of a 1 bedroom not for a slum lord or ghetto is higher than most people. I know people who are living 8 people to a 2 bedroom apartment. That's no better than homeless.

There is no good option. They should get rid of this crap and put the money into affordable housing or something. The subsidized living spaces aren't paradise exactly either but they seem better than most other options. It's just going to cost the tax payers no matter what.

God it makes me so fuckin angry.
