Homelessness is a real and difficult issue. After with talking about it with Andy, I thought this might make for a good topic. Especially in cities further south where there’s a sizeable population of homeless due to the moderate weather year-round, it is a real problem for homeless people and for the cities that don’t know what to do with them. If anyone has ideas or firsthand experiences with homeless people that they want to share or links about cities dealing with homelessness that they would like to post, I would really appreciate it. I’ve linked some stories I found through a quick Google search about homeless laws in Orlando, Gainesville, and many other cities across the US. It’s pretty crazy to think that such a significant amount of our limited resources are aimed at restricting homeless people from doing things, but I suppose that working in the legal system would be kind of boring if some of the useless laws were trimmed from the books.
