The recent Supreme Court ruling has indeed made significant changes regarding homeless encampments. The Court’s decision allows cities to enforce bans on camping in public spaces, even if individuals have nowhere else to go. This ruling overturns a previous decision that found such enforcement to be cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment.
The ruling has sparked a variety of responses. Some cities, like Berkeley, are taking a tougher stance on homeless encampments, while others are still figuring out how to implement these changes. Critics argue that this approach criminalizes homelessness and fails to address the root causes.
