Use of the law that criminalizes the homeless generally takes on one of five forms: Restricting the public areas in which sitting or sleeping are allowed. Removing the homeless from particular areas. Prohibiting begging. Selective enforcement of laws. Selective creation of laws. ( The French novelist Anatole France noted this phenomenon as long ago as 1894, famously observing that "the law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges".)

This led to the rejection of the majority of homeless applications received by the local government.
