So without a property and/or a vehicle you're basically treated as less than by the state.
Homelessness is being criminalized more and more in the US and that'll give a licence for it to spread globally.
The solution is cheap back-alley welded cycle rickshaws. If enough homeless people could get a simple cycle platform with a lockbox and room for a mat or tent it could change things.
They are no longer homeless, they are in their vehicle on the public highway or whatever, officer.
The small increase in security, with the lockbox, could result in more dignity imo.
Large traffic blocking protest actions become an option for the homeless, similar to the car protest actions seen during lockdown.
The state may come to regard this action as so visible and inconvenient that they may be forced to do more than pay lip service to the issues.
I've never been arrested but I have been harassed and told to leave by cops when I was living in my car.
ACAB, they'll always find a way to fuck with you.
agree, but in this scenario, if somebody is told to leave by cops, they can cycle away with their possessions. Someone without any vehicle is much more likely to get picked up or be subject to more attention.
This would be aimed at people without cars, who usually feel the sharpest end of the state. Just having a sleeping platform on wheels with a lockbox would give someone a level of dignity they wouldn't otherwise have.
