The case is considered the most significant to come before the high court in decades on homelessness, which is reaching record levels in the United States.
I slept in this town once when I was temporarily homeless. I was lucky enough to not be harassed by cops. Letting people sleep in public spaces doesn’t harm anyone except landlords, the housing market, and the hotel/airbnb industry. How the fuck is an unemployed unhoused person supposed to eventually afford rent if they’re fined for existing outside?
How about the people trying to use those public spaces for the activities they were designed for? Doesn’t it harm them when the sidewalk is half full of tents? How about when the park is full of drug addicts and human shit?

Have you considered the goal is to exterminate undesirables?
