• San jose: - homeless people have "a responsibility to shelter" (article)
• also San Jose - no, no, no, not that kind of shelter. Why can't you just have more money? (article)

I will assume that somewhere out there a city council is making this kind of law because they care about human beings. But most time I think such ordinances means "We don't want your type around here. If you must be here we don't want to see you."

I am reminded of minimum lot size laws that tell citizens that they can only build a home on a lot of at least 3 acres. The intent is to keep out people who cannot meet the Sufficiently Grotesque McMansion standard.
