Where are the homeless supposed to go?

[u/Garey_Coleman]

Cities have been cracking down on homeless people so they can’t have encampments or stay on sidewalks. At the same time usually the shelters are full. So those who are unable to get into a shelter, where are they supposed to go?

Florida has made it illegal for them to sleep. No joke. 

You aren’t allowed to use someone else’s private property to sleep. 

You aren’t allowed to sleep on public property. 

So, they can’t sleep anywhere. They are not allowed to sleep. 

This 100% turns them into criminals against their will. No matter how hard they try to stay awake they will eventually fall asleep somewhere.

One of the biggest "holy shit, this is what the world is really like" moments for me as a new adult was when I went on a road trip and due to limited funds some nights I slept in my car. And I learned very quick how difficult it is to legally sleep in public. My brain couldn't comprehend it. I'm technically legally not allowed to just park on the street somewhere where I'm not bothering someone and sleep? Or find an empty lot overnight?  Then I wondered about people less fortunate than I who don't do it by choice. Who have no other option. It's incredibly sad that as a society you can't just...exist, sometimes.

Yeah same I'll never forget having my window knocked on and a cop shining their light in my face because "there has been reports of burglaries". Like bitch it obviously ain't me. Then she told me to move on in the middle of the night because they don't allow vagrancy; she'd rather I drive sleep deprived.

Every time I think about it reminds me how stupid everything is.

I think I had a dream once where I had to just keep driving and driving but I was so tired but I couldnt stop for that reason.

→ she'd rather I drive sleep deprived gave me deja dream lol
