    Lovely. This is not an anti-drug ordinance. Most people have private places to use their drugs. This is an anti-homeless ordinance. All the fucking liberals (progressive and conservative alike) in all states and all cities love those. When they can’t outright simply criminalize the fact of being unhoused, they criminalize all the behaviours which being unhoused requires, or encourages because you simply don’t have a house in which to do everything people do in life.

      Not too surprising. This is the same city that recently made it illegal to camp between 8AM and 8PM, effectively outlawing being homeless with possessions (and probably violating federal court rulings).

        Yeah. Though it should be noted that that is becoming a common and popular way for politicians to try to get around the Boise decision. A city near me in California just did the same thing, and another is planning to. Fucking barf.
