 And the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a precedent on Friday that protects homeless people from punishment for camping in public spaces when they have nowhere else to go. Outgoing Mayor Dave Bronson said the old precedent set in 2018 hamstrung the city's ability to manage its homeless population. His administration's legal department formally backed the winning side last year. Friday, Bronson celebrated the decision. He said he doesn't intend to do anything with the new powers in his final days of his term.
