And we have breaking news now.
The Supreme Court has decided that cities can enforce bans
on homeless people sleeping outdoors in West Coast areas where
shelter space is lacking.
In a six three decision,
the High Court reversed a ruling by a San Francisco
based appeals court that found that outdoor sleeping bans are
cruel and unusual punishment.
The case is the most significant to come before the
Supreme Court in decades on the issue of homelessness and
comes as a rising number of people in the US
are without a permanent place to live.
