I think there are 3 big kind of homeless people. The first are the people leaving their homes because they wanted to do that, the second caegory is the people with economical problems and the third category is the people with some kind of mental issues. The authorities and the common people can't do much about the first category but they can surely help the second and third category no questions asked. You can considee you are borrowing them or loaning them the money, or you only want to help them, that's your choice. Just make a change in a better way and do something.
The Atlantic team talked to Atlantic writer and Good on Paper host Jerusalem Demsas about the case and what it may or may not solve. Homelessness has exploded since the 1980s in US, mostly in cities where housing costs have gone up. Criminalizing or not criminalizing people sleeping in public does not change the fact that many od them have no other option, and that people who do have places to sleep can’t help but notice their cities have a huge homelessness problem.
The discussion started from this issue: later this summer, the US Supreme Court will rule on City of Grants Pass versus Johnson, one of the most important cases on homelessness to come up in a long time in United States of America in the condition that the city of Grants Pass in southern Oregon has a population of approximately 38 thousand people, and somewhere between 50 and 600 persons are unhoused. The court will rule on whether someone can be fined, jailed, or ticketed for sleeping or camping in a public space when they’re homeless and have nowhere else to go.
