Happy #Newstodon Friday, a day to celebrate the best #journalism in the #fediverse!
“This isn’t just a question of us getting out of some individual ticket. The law itself has to be overturned.”
Today, let's revisit Michelle Pitcher's story on the legal fight against an unjust (and maybe, unconstitutional?) law that bans feeding people in certain places in #Houston. https://www.texasobserver.org/houston-food-not-bombs-trial/

Misleading - yes large by size, but some spunky hournalist might want to ask how many individual, unique unhoused people they housed there? I’ve been there and it wasnt many.

@Lightfighter goddamnit you can't solve the problem of people who are #unhoused 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.
With #LACounty under a #TropicalStormWarning , County departments have activated Outreach Teams. They urge #unhoused residents to take precautions and

Why can’t we stop homelessness? why there’s no end in sight - THE RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH for starters. #homelessness #homeless #unhoused #housing #rent https://www.npr.org/2023/07/12/1186856463/homelessness-rent-affordable-housing-encampments

The Court ruled unhoused people have #privacy rights in their homes protected by Article 1, section 7 of Washington’s #Constitution. 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 #sweeps policy were #unconstitutional 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 #Court also held the City of Seattle’s sweeps policy constituted cruel punishment under Article 1, section 14 of #Washington’s Constitution in some circumstances because the sweeps subject the #unhoused to #criminal and #civil penalties for living on public land when there is no alternative to do so.

NEW: How LA Failed to Stop Landlords From Turning Low-Cost Housing Into Tourist Hotels
==
15 years ago #LosAngeles passed a law to preserve residential hotels as #housing of last resort.
Now, amid the #homelessness crisis, Capital & Main and ProPublica found some #hotels may be violating that law by offering rooms to #tourists.

Since its inception, [Liberty Dogs] targeted #Black activists, the #unhoused community, events at the local #library, and #Pride. But with each new group in their crosshairs, they seemingly lost support from more and more of their base."
