9th Circuit ruling on homeless

[Rucker61]

If I had no home where would you expect me to sleep?

California works.

Shelters
Recuse Missions
Dispersed Public Camping Areas

The PROBLEM is that these may not be available in the areas where the homeless/transients/vagrants want to hangout, hence the sidewalk.

Part of the problem is these places also typically have limited capacity which inevitably leaves some of them with no place to sleep.


Don?t get me wrong. I?m not trying to defend the homeless. If I could put them all in a big cardboard box and light it on fire and never have to deal with any of them again I wouldn?t lose much sleep over it.

But since they?re out there and some of them literally don?t have any place to sleep then why hassle them if they?re in an alley behind a dumpster or or tucked away in some out of the way public place?

Now, if they?re literally in the street or trying to sleep out in the open on a sidewalk or something then by all means someone should ask them to move along.

Then they need to move onto places where there is room. If you are "homeless", then you might not get to hang out in Boulder, SF or San Diego. Maybe you need to find assistance from the area where you became "homeless" instead of moving to and congregating in "cool places".

I live in Boulder County, and willing to throw every service possible at a local resident who becomes homeless due to fire, job loss, medical bills, eviction, etc. This includes food, temporary housing, job training, starter jobs to create employment history- almost anything to help get them back into society.

I support NONE of the above for people who buy a jalopy with temporary Ohio plates, come here for "legal weed", ditch the car in the foothills, and then set-up shop on Canyon and Broadway or the Mall with a "Please Help Sign" and rake in the sympathy of gullible and self-loathing Boulder liberals.

Sounds like we need more homeless in the woods. Is Woodland Park full yet?

There is a nasty looking homeless camp just north of I-76 between I-25 and I-70.

Right around the bridge where everyone seems to want to slow down and look at the refinery? That camp has been there quite a while.

ETA, Nope, I'm thinking 270, not 76

[Irving]

I'm on 270 often cut haven't seen that camp. I'm thinking just west of I-25 and just North of I-76.

Same place illegals stay, local church. There's a double standard among liberals. willing to do almost anything to assist an illegal. yet "DEMAND WE DO SOMETHING" for the homeless. Never once opening their own doors and or property to squat.

If i were you and homeless. First thing i'd do is sell those harleys you're now sleeping next to, under a tarp

Understood when I saw your question. More of a philosophical question... Does someone have the right to be homeless and just "be?"

I think the problem creates a false dilemma where people think there are only two options...

1. Deal with it (just be, right to camp anywhere)
2. House them on taxpayer dollars in the expensive cities with limited housing


That's surprisingly narrow thinking from the nanny staters.
