Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. Results showed that close to half of the participants secured housing, and nearly $600K saved in public service costs due to fewer ER visits & jail stays. They also saw improved mental health.

In the England our government trashes their tents and throws all their belongings in a skip. Now they want to fine them £2000 for sleeping on the streets. England is a fucked up shit hole, due entirely to our caring compassionate government.

Also I can't read the name of the city without thinking "Grass Pants" I would have said it like that out loud to the judge (I'd be shocked if, in all the hours of litigation that has gone into this, somebody hasn't said it in open court)

I probably shouldn’t be, but I feel like this is one decision that will turn out ok. Even some of the far right assholes on the court seemed pretty skeptical during arguments, so hopefully this doesn’t turn out the horror show it would ultimately lead too.

Weird how the people never bash cops skulls in to stop it.
