“Unhoused people would be pushed further to the margins…parked in cars in rural areas or subsisting on urban streets, perhaps after being fined or jailed for the crime of trying to survive” Laura Riley UC Berkeley Law via @NYTOpinion #GrantsPass nytimes.com/2024/04/21/opi…
'Now is the time to create an America that doesn’t abandon its elders...we will not only improve the world for those experiencing homelessness, but create a future that is better for all.'
