Is there a way to word the title to make it clear that the Supreme Court has left the ban dead? "Supreme court won't hear attempt to reinstate ban on homeless sleeping in public spaces?"

The current title is a quadrouple-negative: Supreme Court Won't (Negative) Hear Case (Which implies a desire to reverse the status quo) on Ban (Negative) Against (Negative) Homeless Sleeping in Public Spaces I'd try and get that to zero negatives - perhaps "Supreme court continues allowing homeless sleeping in public spaces"? (Though I'm sure there is some legal nuance between "won't ban" and "allows"...)

  Ban Against is really one negative. "ban on sleeping" and "against sleeping" meant the same thing as "ban against sleeping"
