Question:

Did they rule on allowing the criminalization of the condition of being homeless or the act of trespassing for the purpose of seeking shelter?

I know in Florida there is a hobo in every shrub and behind every commercial dumpster.

I had to remove a hobo nest, constructed during a long absence, from the shade trees and shrubbery serving as privacy screening and sound barrier behind a rental unit there.

"Homelessness in the United States grew a dramatic 12% last year to its highest reported level thanks to Bidenomics, as soaring rents and a decline in coronavirus pandemic assistance combined to put housing out of reach for more people.

It's only ironic that the homeless, most of whom are Democrats and voted for Joe Biden, ended up there thanks to their vote. It turns out actions do have consequences."

I believe it is higher than estimated.

We need a hobo census.

The crisis of the unhoused has been deliberately manufactured. For every body or family unit, sleeping rough - there's 2 empty housing units, according to Professor Richard Wolff.

There's several causes. House Flippers drive up costs and rents for speculative profits. Also, Bill Gates, Black Rock, Blackstone, State Street, Vanguard etc - are actively buying up the housing stocks, at above market prices, cornering the market, deliberately. This is part of the WEF 'Great Reset' agenda - 15 minute cities, and "you'll own nothing and be happy".

Simultaneously, the ever increasing concentration of wealth, into fewer and fewer hands is accelerating - as wages fall for the 99%.

" In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, wrote that the decision would leave society’s most vulnerable with fewer protections.

“Sleep is a biological necessity, not a crime,” Justice Sotomayor wrote. “For some people, sleeping outside is their only option.”

That the local laws impose fines and potential jail time for people “sleeping anywhere in public at any time, including in their cars, if they use as little as a blanket to keep warm or a rolled-up shirt as a pillow” effectively punishes people for being homeless, she wrote.

“That is unconscionable and unconstitutional,” Justice Sotomayor said in reading her dissent from the bench, a rare move that signals profound disagreement. "

That is a truly disappointing ruling... And it certainly shows the rather heartless nature of the 6 who made the majority. Rather than force Governments and predatory capital to find humane solutions, consistent with Constitution - they just threw the unhoused to the wolves, at the demands of high finance and commercial interests.

Gorsuch's opinion sounds like something from the dark days before the French Revolution. Essentially saying that the law in question was fair - because it criminalizes sleeping outside - for rich and poor alike. In the lead up to the French Revolution, captured in Les Miserables - it was illegal for both rich and poor, to steal bread to eat.
