The Oregon case decided Friday is the most significant to come before the high court in decades on the issue and comes as a rising number of people in the U.S. are without a permanent place to live.

    In true American fashion dating all the way back to its founding, you only matter if you own property.

      Seems that way. Empowering local governments to determine legality will inevitably allow NIMBY to criminalize homelessness across the nation, with each city pointing fingers as the next.

      you only matter if you own property.

      While technically true… There is a difference between a guy owning a factory and a guy owning a home.

      They are not the same lol

        This is pedantic and totally irrelevant to the topic of homeless having no place to simply exist.

        Unless of course you are trying to highlight the billions of unhoused factory owners?

            🙄

            You’re not adding anything useful, insightful or relevant to the conversation. Just being pedantic so you can feel smug.

              You can look at it like that…

              My value add here is clarifying detail was that was lost in that statement.

              I am not hurting the reader or the OP thesis, just adding to the body of work.

        Yes. Homeless people are an underclass.

          Many people are few pay checks away from being homeless

          System works as intended
