The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review lower-court rulings related to the rights of the homeless to camp on sidewalks and in public spaces. This decision has significant implications for cities in the western United States, particularly San Francisco, as they grapple with homelessness. The case involves the legality of homeless encampment sweeps, and San Francisco is seeking to pause litigation until the Supreme Court provides clarity on the issue. The court's decision could have far-reaching repercussions and is being closely watched by both Republican and Democrat lawmakers. The case has sparked a debate on the control of big money during San Francisco's mayoral election and the broader issue of homelessness in the city.
