Supreme Court makes shock ruling on homeless crisis

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] The Supreme Court decided on Friday that cities can enforce bans on homeless people sleeping outdoors, even in West Coast areas where shelter space is lacking.

The case 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 US are without a permanent place to live.

In a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, the high court reversed a ruling by a the Socialist paradise of San Francisco

...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
-based appeals court that found outdoor sleeping bans amount to cruel and unusual punishment.

The majority found that the 8th Amendment prohibition does not extend to bans on outdoor sleeping bans.

'Homelessness is complex. Its causes are many. So may be the public policy responses required to address it,' Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the majority.

#1 I have a Christian love of the poor, but claiming that the homeless had a Constitutional right to make camp and shoot up on the sidewalk in front of someone’s house was always Marxism.

#2 Notice, however, SCOTUS does not impose any requirement that cities enforce bans on homeless encampments. Cities will now get to decide whether or not to clean their streets but it's a good bet that cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco will not.
