    There’s plenty of shelter space but you can’t do drugs there so people don’t go. But hey I guess you can use as much as you want in prison!

      No there isn’t actually. The recent SCOTUS case was literally repealing a past ruling that you couldn’t do what I described above, until there was enough shelter space for all the homeless in your city/county/state.

      So that’s why enforcement suddenly got juiced. They no longer need a bed available to fuck your shit up.

      You have no idea what you’re talking about.

      I’ve been homeless, and staying the fuck away from the shelters is how you stay safe.

      I spent one night in one once, and promptly went back to looking for hidden little spots where no one would be able to see me.

      Unless you are the crustiest of old homebums, shelters are where your shit gets stolen and you get stabbed if you make a fuss. Or raped.
