Now, what about all those other states? What will the SCOTUS do with this one, let em freeze in the ditches or act like human beings? Will it be archaic ideas about FREEDOM and individual responsibility that rationalize fear and hatred or a more human community based approach to those in our communities who lack the resources to survive with some sense dignity and security. We all know what the greed and fear driven "libertarian's" will say, but it's actually antisocial blather, neither based in logic or fact. Just a jumble of anti social feelings and a refusal to form a sharing community while seeking social approval, typical greed. Maybe fewer people would migrate to California and the large cities, if they were treated more humanely in their home states and communities.
America is the richest society in Human history and my own is on par, make us in Canada look bad on this issue, because we too have people living on the streets and it's colder here. Many homeless people have emotional and mental health, or substance abuse issues and do not suffer from intellectual impairment, we can do a lot better by them than we are. There but for the grace of God and a head injury, go I.

Los Angeles' Skid Row: All homeless people must be offered housing by fall, judge orders - CNN
All homeless people on Los Angeles' Skid Row must be offered housing by the fall, judge orders
(CNN)All homeless people living on Los Angeles' Skid Row must be offered housing by October 18, a federal judge ordered Tuesday.
The order comes in response to a federal lawsuit filed last year by several citizens, business owners, and community leaders who argue officials have failed to address the homeless crisis in Los Angeles, as tents line full city blocks and makeshift shelters cramp under street overpasses.
"Los Angeles has lost its parks, beaches, schools, sidewalks, and highway systems due to the inaction of city and county officials who have left our homeless citizens with no other place to turn," US District Judge David Carter said in the
110-page brief.
The judge's filing follows on Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announcing his budget for the next fiscal year in which he vowed to dedicate $1 billion toward homelessness. In 2020 alone, 1,383 homeless people died, and an estimated five more die each day, according to data from the
Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA).
