In California alone, more than 170,000 people are homeless, accounting for about one-third of the nation’s homeless population. More than 115,000 of those homeless Californians sleep on the streets, in cars or outdoors in places not intended for habitation, according to a federal tally of homelessness conducted last year.

“Five years ago, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled in case from Boise, Idaho, that it was unconstitutional for cities to clear homeless camps and criminally charge campers unless they could offer adequate housing.

In the nine Western states covered by the circuit, that ruling has since prompted billions of dollars of public spending on homelessness.”

咦，原來法源是這裡啊！

話說我不知道加州和 Idaho 算在同一區⋯
