Supreme Court's Grants Pass ruling to likely have major implications

Cruel and unusual punishment is allowing people to live on the streets, they're dying out there, many without hope. We need shelters and they need to accept those beds and accept the help that is offered.

I have two crackheads living literally on the back of my property directly on the property line. I have to listen to them fighting over crack every day with their foul mouths, illegal burning during fire season in the brush and the smell of their bodily waste since I'm down window while I tend my garden. Unless the fire catches my tree line on fire and endangers my home there is nothing I can do. Our town is full of these people and they've been getting away with it for years. I understand the homelessness but have no respect for the drug addicts since they have no respect for me or my property.

People that are so concerned are always free to allow the homeless to put-up their tents in their own yards and live there.

There's not enough room in jails for all of the people that say they're homeless.

The Governor’s need to step up and work with these citizens, all construction being build is only for the wealthy or those that can afford them. The Low income and retirees on a fixed income have no where to go!!!! There is NO affordable housing being build. And this is nation wide!!!! Not everyone that is homeless is so by choice nor are they drug addicts.

Instead of sending $$ over to other countries fix home first

I think an audit on each county's non-profit and housing agencies need to be audited all the funding came into washington in last 3 years for housing ..we're did it go beyond all of the grants. yet we still face poverty issues. I'm going to start picking kitsap counties streets, demanding audit on housing funds, why isn't this being recognized and dealt with???

Renew the Homestead Act and end property taxes there is no reason for any American to be homeless other than government's greed for power.

It should be illegal for any citizen to be homeless. If they have no income they need to be provided food bathroom and a roof or bed to sleep on. In every state. They also should be rehabilitated

America has a million people in jail but can't figure out affordable housing. Freedum

Grants Pass homeless camping law wasn't abusive, they allow homeless to camp in designated parks but they must move to a new park every week, this distinction means they are camping and the park is NOT their home. Homeless advocates think making them move every week was criminalizing homelessness, it is not, they would only get a ticket if they wouldn't move, some resisted moving to test the law, they failed.

Head out to the country, I guess.

There NEEDS to be AFFORDABLE HOUSING for EVERYONE.

Letting drug addicts waste away in tents next to the road is anything but compassionate. But why aren’t most in shelters? Because shelters don’t allow drug use. People that aren’t on drugs are able to get the help they need. It’s not a homeless crisis, it’s a drug crisis.

For the advocates, YOU TAKE THEM IN.......

Happy , happy for the tax paying residents of grants pass OR, We are getting are town back. Clean up or pay the price.

The responsibility is for the private sector to step in with non-profits that are focused on shelters to assist.

stop bussing them in

You don't reward people who make terrible choices in life with tax payer funded housing just because it's "cheaper". Invite them to your house if you want to reward that behavior. Homeless Veterans shelters deserve tax payer subsidized housing only.

It's cheaper to put people in housing than in jail. This ruling is INSANE!!!
