It honestly depends. Most homeless people would sometimes try to wreck your property/ steal things but some of them might also not aswell. I'd say that make some sort of shelter for them to sleep in for a while.
No. Make it a criminal offense requiring community service.
If the person that owns the property says yes then its fine.
only on certain public propertys
@76WTH563yrs3Y
Regardless, should be decided by the state.
@3VSVGRS3yrs3Y
Yes but only on public property set aside for that purpose. It should not be allowed if it is impacting the publics ability to use the property for its intended use.
@8XNYT2D3yrs3Y
yes, as long as it is not disturbing anyone or anything.
@8Z4TXWG3yrs3Y
Only if there was reason for them to not want to stay the shelter
@7GQMXLT3yrs3Y
Individuals have a right to traverse and loiter on public property, regardless of whether they are homeless or not, so long as they are not damaging property or otherwise depriving the rest of the public of their ability to enjoy those spaces safely. Large groups of people creating "pop-up villages" within a space not designed and designated for the purpose create a hazard for those living there, deprive the rest of the general public of its use of the property, and can create an undue and unintended burden on surrounding infrastructure. I support the rights of individuals to traverse and loiter as well as the rights of local governments to protect public assets and ensure public safety.
@32LNXXJ3yrs3Y
No, but create more social programs to provide free food, clothing and medicine as well as better and safer shelters as current are not at all "safe" spaces, which is why many refuse to stay.
@92MDVFR3yrs3Y
If they aren't creating a disturbance to others, actively engage in improving or maintaining the property, then I don't see an issue with their presence.
@Ovrwatch223yrs3Y
Yes, but not public property within city limits.
