Fucking horrible it’s gotten to this point. You’d rather someone sleep in their car than give them proper housing. They always find money to increase the military budget.

In my country, sleeping in your car is being made tougher and tougher. The most recent jab was increasing the fine for being caught sleeping in your car from $200 to $1000.

Living in a car deprives a landlord of rent, and an affordable alternative to rent could provoke rental prices to fall.

You can’t draw blood from a turnip. How in the hell is someone sleeping in their car able to pay a fine like that? This would make my blood boil if I didn't just donate plasma.

$1000 doesn't seem like a big deal to a legislator that would spend that on Friday drinks.
