I don't think it's a good idea to simply criminalize homelessness. That's not really the right way to get them help, and it gives them a criminal record that employers will see.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoMany things associated with homelessness are already criminal. It is is not clear to me how this changes anything for the better. Instead of charging them with a crime in a real court, and mandating rehab programs or incarceration if they don't cooperate, we will charge them in a "care court" and mandate rehab programs or incarceration. Seems like the same exact thing.
