   California cities want to arrest people for 'camping' and 'being homeless' but they don't seem to want to go to trial to state a case for why they want to arrest people for being poor. They're happy to throw people's things away and treat them violently, though.

     @skinnylatte I think Urban Alchemy is really problematic, but this is also from a journal published by the Manhattan Institute so should be taken with a huge grain of salt.
