Via "law enforcement 'rescue teams,' unhoused people will be "involuntarily taken" for "treatment" at this isolated facility run by management consultants who are in the business of "lives, of humans, of souls." I am surprised that Urban Alchemy has not bid for this contract. tinyurl.com/ycyzuctf

Arresting homeless people for sleeping in public spaces doesn't reduce homelessness, according to a professor who studies the issue. It often leads to worse health and makes it harder to find stable housing. buff.ly/Wceth5F By @sprzybylinski.bsky.social @michiganstateu.bsky.social
San Francisco and other cities, following a Supreme Court ruling, are arresting more homeless people for living on the streets
More than one year after the Supreme Court’s Grants Pass v. Johnson ruling, a geographer who researches homelessness finds that the ruling is leading to more places criminalizing homelessness.

Publication day! The Injustice of Property is available from the great @ugapress.bsky.social. The book details how property in liberalism constrains common attempts at ending homelessness, despite land use practices of un/precariously housed people rejecting the proprietarian logic of liberalism.

Hear Street Roots' editor K. Rambo talk with @opb.org about their recent story on Portland's homeless encampment sweeps, copublished by @streetroots.bsky.social / @propublica.org last week. It's hard to ignore the policy choices that contribute to these outcomes.
