I feel like this cannot possibly be constitutional. But I don't know of any advocacy groups for the homeless willing to spend the money to fight this :/

I know I and other homeless can't.

I feel like there is a thing about being arrested for dumb laws? Discriminatory laws?

How about unreasonable fines? No homeless person has $750 for a fine to blow.

Or how about slave labor? If you can't pay the fine you have to enter into a work program with the state? No homeless person has that money. I'm pretty sure that's literally a few dollars less than what someone on minum wage makes in 2 weeks, so it's the threshold for working poor who won't be able to survive without that money. .

And this doesn't just happen once. People need to sleep every night/day.

The cost of a 1 bedroom not for a slum lord or ghetto is higher than most people. I know people who are living 8 people to a 2 bedroom apartment. That's no better than homeless.

There is no good option. They should get rid of this crap and put the money into affordable housing or something. The subsidized living spaces aren't paradise exactly either but they seem better than most other options. It's just going to cost the tax payers no matter what.

God it makes me so fuckin angry.

Every Midwest state is like this. It's kind of funny cause some natives of their city that haven't traveled think it's totally unique to their city and they have theories about it (like that something in the water is to blame or whatever)

Has anyone else felt like this winter has felt like mid spring mostly? 60s 70s 60s.

It snowed like 100 inches in Buffalo and then warmed up so fast they had flash flood warnings less than a week later. Just doesn't seem right to me. I would have expected 40s and 50s. Not 70s.
