Will be pitching my tent* smack-dab on the verdant lawn in front of the Governor's Mansion!
That's legal now, right?

Discrimination.
The Hoovervilles and at another time staying in the shacks of the army veterans in 1932 resulted in bloodshed.... (259 veterans killed).*

Couldn’t happen in a more deserving state. Although I can think of a few that deserve it as well.
Good, all homeless need to move there ASAP.
Ruth did not respond to a request for comment.
Of course she didn't.
Not sure where in the district she lives, but this bee-otch deserves a "tent city" on the public land nearest her house. I'm sure her neighbors would love that. "Progressives", like her, think this is a great idea - as long as it happens somewhere else.
Democrat Sheila Ruth probably has stock in a tent company, haha.
Regressive libtards will put you back in tents or caves and you thought I was kidding 🤪
The sponsor of the bill, Democratic delegate Sheila Ruth, said in a committee hearing that these tent cities are not harmful or dangerous to communities.
“We shouldn’t be destroying homeless encampments,” Ruth said.
Well, except for criminal activity, and public health problems with urine and feces and trash, people getting sick and even dying from exposure to the elements, and making public parks inhospitable to people who want to use such places for their intended purposes, then I guess tent cities are not harmful or dangerous to anyone.
Interesting to see the reasoning ability of public officials.
When this depression gets worse, those who kick the homeless will soon be homeless themselves. There will be a lot more soon. Are they supposed to just disappear into thin air?
ah yes, Hamsterdam.
“Democratic delegate Sheila Ruth, said in a committee hearing that these tent cities are not harmful or dangerous to communities”
just wait until they camp out and block every business whose door fronts a public sidewalk, any metered space they want to camp out on, any public street they want to camp out on, any park, any public lawn or lot surrounding any public building or library, or the state capital, and THEN see how “harmful” that is, Sheila ...
So campsites in state parks will become free and first-come, first-served.
