    Not too surprising. This is the same city that recently made it illegal to camp between 8AM and 8PM, effectively outlawing being homeless with possessions (and probably violating federal court rulings).

    • Yeah. Though it should be noted that that is becoming a common and popular way for politicians to try to get around the Boise decision. A city near me in California (extremely “progressive”, by the way) just did the same thing, and another is planning to. Fucking barf.

      There are literally “expert” advisors who go around to cities and teach them how to be as efficiently cruel to unhoused people as possible: lots of raids (“sweeps”) of tent villages, denying services or making them available very selectively and with minimal access, etc.
