Los Angeles has
prohibited
homeless people from keeping more property than what will fit in
one garbage bin.
I suppose that is to facilitate putting their property in the trash,
which thugs do from time to time as a harassment measure.
If the city wants to do reduce how much they keep on the street, it
should offer each homeless person a substantial shed. That would not
cost much — the building codes for sheds are not very strict
— and it would keep their property off the street without
screwing them.
Of course, what the city should really do is
provide
them with decent places to live.
