Las Vegas has made it a crime to live on the sidewalk. Someone campaigned for this cruelty because he did not like finding excrement on the street.

They could have addressed the ostensible problem by providing proper toilets instead. But if the real goal was to treat homeless people with contempt, that would not have sufficed.

As for squatting, if people suffer from homelessness and a house is uninhabited, I think they should take it.
