    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?

          Many people are few pay checks away from being homeless

          System works as intended
