Gov. DeSantis seeks ban on camping in public throughout Florida to get homeless off streets
The initiative would prohibit camping on all city streets and sidewalks, and in parks in an effort to ensure public order and quality of life.A measure, House Bill 1365, was filed last month that prohibits public sleeping or camping on public property without a permit.
DeSantis said he's open to providing funding for sheltering and to address mental illness and substance abuse as a component of the initiative.

Eventually, the homeless situation will deteriorate to the point, where they will either have to put them in a facility, whether anybody likes it or not, or we will all be under siege by them, regardless of politics.
@12:20...add the word Illegals to that
has there been a study to see how many people sleeping on the street are illigal and how many are citizens.lets take care of citizens first
They don't want to be taken care of. There are places that want to take care of them, and they refuse to go.
We have our most expensive properties along the ocean or intercoastal....East by the water. Everyone knows that it costs much more to live by the water and that real estate prices are also a way that people use to guarantee their family has a safer place to live, based on the neighborhood they buy into--people have a right to buy into a neighborhood they can afford in order to create the environment they want for their family.....Illegals and Homeless DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT to steal their way into these expensive neighborhoods, any more than they have a right to break your door down and move into YOUR home, because they want to. Because they can. Civilization is supposed to protect personal property. If the Homeless are to be housed, it is stupid to put them in the most expensive real estate areas, and this includes waterfront areas like Bryant Park. There needs to be land far West under Lake Worth control or purchase potential, that would be non-destructive to good neighborhoods if suddenly hundreds or thousands of homeless with the 30 percent or so group within, that are serious criminals and drug addicts. Areas found along railroad tracks, by industrial areas, areas that have no neighborhoods to endanger -- these are the areas a smart town government would consider as the solution to the problem.
Dan has a good point. Why not ship these people out west, set up some tents on the edge of the Everglades and let them survive out there? It would take forever for them to try to make it back to populated areas and it's quite possible they might not, if you know what I mean. It's a much better outcome than letting the wealthy people who live by the water suffer.
The train track solution is also a good one. Brightline has proven very efficient at culling out the hopeless and downtrodden in communities along the tracks. Dan's solution just gives the a little extra nudge in that direction which really isn't a bad thing...at least for most people...like Dan.
@10:58...you're really sick...DEMS love to twist the narrative to sooth their bleeding hearts
The “homeless “ in lake worth beach are here because;
1. Drugs, inexpensive, easy to acquire.
2. Drugs.
3. Drugs.
4 Alcohol
5. Drugs
@10:33...we have to add the weather. Also, they are coming to a BLUE city and County.
Florida is a red state and Palm Beach County went for DeSantis by 3 points in 2023.
FL is red by a slim margin. PB County is Democrat.
