Supreme Court weighs bans on sleeping outdoors
The Supreme Court debated whether cities may fine people for sleeping outside when shelters are unavailable as homelessness rises. The case began in Grants Pass Oregon where fines of 295 dollars were levied for outdoor sleeping and could reshape limits on camping bans in areas with insufficient shelter. Justice Sotomayor pressed for compassion amid housing shortages and asked where people should sleep if shelters are full or unavailable. The court plans a decision by late June.
