SAN DIEGO - Following Friday's Supreme Court decision that allows cities to enforce bans on homeless people sleeping outside in public spaces, local groups and elected leaders voiced their thoughts.
The justices, on a 6-3 vote on ideological lines with conservatives in the majority, ruled in favor of the Oregon city of Grants Pass, saying the measures do not run afoul of the Constitution's Eighth Amendment, which bars cruel and unusual punishment. The decision struck down a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling.
Some elected leaders believed the decision was the correct one, and would allow for what they claim are the root causes of homelessness -- addiction and mental health issues -- to be tackled head-on.
