Good. Fining the people who by definition have the absolute least of anyone in society is an utterly bonkers idea. Glad Amsterdam is stopping it.
This is also a good time to remind everyone the leading cause of homelessness is a lack of a home. Homelessness could be solved in a matter of days by just providing people homes. It really is that simple.

The city’s mayor, Femke Halsema, wrote in a letter to the city council that she plans to stop the fines with immediate effect because, according to her, it "doesn't actually help.”
