A retired local judge said this case can determine how cities across the country enforce encampment bans, such as the one implemented in San Diego in 2023.
SAN DIEGO — The Supreme Court will hear a case on the homelessness crisis and whether cities can punish people for living on the streets. Grants Pass v. Johnson could change what policies are used to prevent encampments.
Some people in San Diego rallied to show support for the rights of people experiencing homelessness. The San Diego Housing Emergency Alliance illuminated a sign with the words “Housing = Life” over Interstate 5 Sunday evening.
