Msn.com has a story from The Miami Herald which indicates that city intends to ban encampments on public properties and entryways. That would include streets, parks and sidewalks.
City commissioners last week gave initial approval to an ordinance that prohibits encampments on public property and in entryways. It would give police officers the authority to arrest people experiencing homelessness, as long as they’d been offered a shelter bed.
"Offered and refused," that is. The homeless turn down shelter beds because shelters ban drug and alcohol use and require orderly behavior of their residents.
If Miami can do this, why not other cities? Why not CA which has the worst homelessness problem in the nation?
