     * 2024: U.S. Supreme Court: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Grants_Pass_v._Johnson
     * easier for local governments to criminalize homelessness
     * sweep: penalizing homelessness via crackdowns on encampments
     * sweeps harmful, unproductive, dehumanizing
     * instead gov. should prioritize safe, affordable, dignified, permanent housing for all

     Homelessness is not / should not be a crime.
     People have a right to exist.
