  • Over the objections of advocates for those experiencing homelessness, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled cities can enforce no-camping laws and take down tent encampments, even if there is no offer of alternative shelter or housing. In Pittsburgh, the tents will stay. KDKA-TV's Andy Sheehan has more.

    What's wrong with making them pick up the garbage off city steets? Put them on a work detail in exchange for their "free rent" on City property. We never voted for this.

      Good. You know why? Because PA favors tenants over landlords. So landlords MUST screen tenants!

      Cheap rent is illegal in Pittsburgh, banned back in 2008.
      Any 'violation' (chipped paint, missing hand rail, etc) is $500 a day PER violation.
      So low rent housing facing $1,000 ~ $5000 per day fines shut that down that year.
      Pittsburgh don't want cheap renters. Only owners & Corporations.

    What a ridiculous story. No matter what space they put the homeless, there will be someone to complain about it, just like what that guy is doing. That's exactly why there isn't a homeless shelter for them. If there was, residents would complain about it. You can't make everyone happy. There will always be a homeless population.

    My cousin worked as a security guard at a Catholic Charities homeless resource center in Midtown Baltimore for 12 years and most of the ones that would line up outside the main entrance Monday-Friday waiting for the doors to open were NOT drug addicts. They would all take drug tests before receiving services. My cousin had to quit because homeless people were coming in unvaccinated and testing positive for COVID-19. His wife was undergoing chemo treatments for ovarian cancer at the time and he didn't want to bring COVID-19 home to her. Clearing them out is not the answer and you can't arrest your way out of this crisis. Here in Baltimore, the city under orders from the mayor, purchased 2 hotels to house homeless people in to help them get access to services. Also, here in Baltimore, when you call 311 or go online to report a homeless camp, police show up at the camp with case workers from DSS to start the process of getting them help. The Supreme Court has been corrupted by Leonard Leo and Harlan Crow.
