@Lightfighter goddamnit you can't solve the problem of people who are by moving them around, this is a lazy and stupid approach to a problem creating by unregulated capitalism. Obviously mental health can be a variable in the model as well but pretending that making people less stable is a positive thing is just ignorant.

The Court ruled unhoused people have rights in their homes protected by Article 1, section 7 of Washington’s . The Court explained that “denying Ream and Kitcheon any protected privacy in their homes would be yet one more permission slip to consider them not fully human.”

The Court found the rules underlying the City’s policy were because they covered people and property who were not true obstructions. Absent actual hazards, removal requires notice, offer of alternative locations or shelter, and an opportunity to determine whether personal property was taken and how to get it back.

the also held the City of Seattle’s sweeps policy constituted cruel punishment under Article 1, section 14 of ’s Constitution in some circumstances because the sweeps subject the to and penalties for living on public land when there is no alternative to do so.
