ITT a whole lot of people talking shit while their local governments are doing the exact same thing. This is a map from 2015. It’s only gotten worse since then.
If what’s happening in Florida disgusts you then check your own laws first.
It’s not a political thing, it’s an urban vs. rural thing. Cities tend to have more robust services for the homeless, so naturally homeless people wind up gravitating there.
They’ll find a way to suspend the law so it doesn’t affect victims of the hurricanes and then reinstitute them again later.
It actually is a problem in my semi rural town. There is a small city ~15 miles away with a lot more resources and there’s a handful of homeless who won’t go there, even when there’s a blizzard.
They would if they had a proportional level of homelessness. Being rural doesn’t automatically make you good people. Rural communities treated vagrancy just as badly.
We’re not disagreeing. I’m just pointing out rural towns don’t have the problem of homeless people creating tent cities because they don’t tend to have the services homeless people need to begin with.

No, it’s cities. Many cities have their own ordinances that clear out homeless encampments. Rural folk didn’t institute those ordinances.
Because homeless people don’t move out to the fucking country. They’re not cats looking for somewhere to quietly perish alone.

“Banned sitting in public”??
I didn’t see that one but I wouldn’t be surprised. They keep coming up with inane stuff that only applies to those people.
“Loitering”
