Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Wednesday that bans homeless people from setting up tents or sleeping in public spaces, as he compared the issue of homelessness to the chaos of spring break.

      The goal of this bill is to make it for police to be able to legally harass the homeless. The hope is that if they harass them enough they’ll move to another state and then the government won’t have to deal with it anymore.

      RTFA. The bill requires municipalities to provide encampments.

      You know, so they can concentrate people somewhere. In a centralized camp.

        I can already imagine razor wire fencing and a watchtower or two around these public “encampments” soon, you know, for their “safety”.

        And provides funding for the municipalities to create said encampments, right? Surely it doesn’t require those blue Demonrat controlled cities municipalities to fund such encampments on their own, right?
