American city invented an unusual way to fight homelessness.


The authorities of San Francisco, California, have started combating homelessness by providing them with free one-way bus tickets. This is related to the increased measures for clearing homeless camps. More than 8000 people live on the city's streets, but despite attempts to move them to temporary or permanent shelters, tent cities remain a problem. Now homeless people are prohibited from sleeping on sidewalks, and the police will fine people who set up tents in pedestrian zones. In recent days, San Francisco authorities have been actively clearing the largest homeless camps, confiscating their belongings and reminding them that it is Time to pack up and leave.
The US Supreme Court has made a decision allowing local communities to impose stricter restrictions on homeless camps. This has become a key decision that supports San Francisco's efforts to tackle homelessness. San Francisco attracts homeless people not only with its mild climate but also with the approach of local authorities, who previously did not actively control the homeless situation. However, now the city's mayor, Brad, has stated that it is time to address this issue differently than before.
