What does Supreme Court ruling on anti-camping laws mean for Sacramento's homeless?

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of giving cities the right to ban homeless people from sleeping or camping on public property, including sidewalks.

The City of Sacramento will now have more enforcement power over homeless people living in public places. After the ruling by the Supreme Court, homeless individuals in California's capital city could face fines, charges or jail time if they don't comply with city guidelines.

  2. I think the citizenry should be able to use public area without being made to think they are intruding on someones home. Fines and jail time. Why not make them work?

    1. Because "making them work" is just begging for a "back injury" and a lawsuit.

    1. Exactly! The taxpayer is still being penalized for their vagrancy.

    Compassion only goes so far. Many of these people are what we used to call "bums". They're not interested in living a standard lifestyle because they don't want to be told what to do...period. In our society, that only works to a degree if you're rich. Otherwise the rest of us who are working or have worked to build some assets expect compliance.
    I know here in CA we have lots of surplus federal land and facilities that could be used to take the bums off the street and segregate them in a separate living area, which they would be responsible for maintaining. Don't do it and it's off to prison you go!

  5. Just because the city has the right, doesn't mean they have to. Sac won't want to.

  8. When average rent for a 2 bedroom apartment in Sacramento is between $1,800 and $2,200 WTF do they expect? Look up the cost of keeping 1 prisoner alive per year, then talk gleefully about "off to prison you go" ya nimrods (the ones saying that shit. Not all of you, obviously). Over $100,000 per year, is the answer. The few commenters here who are happy to talk about imprisoning homeless people, and the imbeciles in the cities that think it's a swell idea...y'all are advocating for lighting $100k+ per year on fire for every single one of those homeless you and they want sent to prison. Enjoy the higher taxes. Honestly. Might as well just give them each $100k upfront. Half of em will then probably kill themselves with drugs almost immediately, and the state can recover the cash from their bodies. It's a hell of a lot cheaper if you think about it. Two years in prison would be $200k+. It doesn't get cheaper as time passes. Just saying.

    1. Jeez, dude. take a chill pill - we're on your side. so round 'em up and put them in a "government camp" on government property. maybe use one of those FEMA camps so they can get used to running them for when the SHTF. no need to house them in a prison or jail cell. just get them off the streets - they can still come and go as they please, but not be intruding in public spaces. make some of those "couselors" on the public dole go see to them ... you know, the ones that are going to replace the police.

      - Chi.
