My mistake.... I read about Martin v. Boise in as AZ online newspaper that discussed a major homeless encampment in Phoenix. The advocates for the homeless argued that M v B protected the 'zona campers.

https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-cou...

"Martin v. Boise was a 2018 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in response to a 2009 lawsuit by six homeless plaintiffs against the city of Boise, Idaho regarding the city's anti-camping ordinance. The ruling held that cities cannot enforce anti-camping ordinances if they do not have enough homeless shelter beds available for their homeless population. It did not necessarily mean a city cannot enforce any restrictions on camping on public property. The decision was based on the Eighth Amendment to the U.S Constitution."

I have a hunch that, just as Abbot bussed migrants outta Texas, the good red Christian states bus homeless people to more tolerant blue states. I do know for a fact that the Hawaiian state gov has given free plane tickets to the mainland to homeless people. Aloha and Arriverderci. Next stop Phoenix.
