**TLDR:** The Ninth Circuit's decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson has limited cities' ability to regulate encampments, leading to unsafe and unhealthy conditions for the homeless population.
- The case originated in Grants Pass in 2017, where individuals were being criminalized for living outside.
- The Ninth Circuit ruled that cities cannot regulate camping until they have enough shelter for everyone, hindering cities' ability to address homelessness.
- Grants Pass wants to continue making it unlawful for people to sleep outside with a blanket, even when no shelter is available.
- The decision does not prohibit cities from implementing certain regulations, such as banning tents, but it does prevent blanket bans on sleeping outside.
- The lack of shelter beds in Grants Pass raises concerns about the criminalization of homelessness and the impact on public health.
In Grants Pass v. Johnson, the Ninth Circuit's decision has sparked a debate on the balance between regulating encampments and ensuring the safety and well-being of the homeless population. The case highlights the challenges cities face in addressing homelessness and the need for comprehensive solutions that prioritize human dignity and public health. As the issue continues to unfold on the West Coast, it serves as a cautionary tale for communities nationwide grappling with similar challenges.
