The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to decide whether an Oregon city can enforce its ban on public camping against homeless people. The announcement came as part of a short list of orders released from the justices’ private conference earlier in the day adding five new cases to the court’s merits doc

Now, I know what you’re thinkin’

“THAT’S GRANTS PASS! NOT PORTLAND!”

But hol’ up… hear me out… Portland has it’s own camping ban from 8 AM to 8 PM.

How the Supreme Court rules on this law in Grants Pass is going to impact Portland, San Francisco, Seattle and everyone else.

Like the scotusblog article reads:

“Without the ability to act, the city wrote, such encampments have led to “crime, fires, the reemergence of medieval diseases, environmental harm, and record levels of drug overdoses and deaths on public streets.””
