This week, the Anaheim City Council voted to make it a crime to lie down or sleep on public sidewalks and benches. People who violate that law can be jailed and prosecuted with a misdemeanor, according to the ordinance.
“The sidewalk belongs to everybody,” Councilmember Jose Diaz said, according to the O.C. Register. “Not to an individual who wants to grab that piece of land. It’s not yours to grab. You either take services from us or you get out.”
Perhaps, but it’s also a two-headed snake because have you seen anaheim? It is absolutely carpeted with homeless people. It’s out of control.
Why don’t they get a one bedroom apartment for $750/month and a minimum wage job that pays $30/hour instead??
My goodness, that’s a brilliant solution.
Edit: I just remembered they don’t do that because those two solutions only exist in a fantasy realm.
