San José, California Mayor Matt Mahan unveiled an initiative Thursday that would ratchet up the pressure on homeless people to accept shelter or face jail time.
“Homelessness can’t be a choice,” Mahan said during a news conference to announce his proposed ordinance. “I’m proposing that after three offers of shelter, we hold people accountable for turning their lives around.”
So let’s understand that a mayor is proposing to give those homeless people a warm place to sleep and food if they won’t accept a shelter which probably provides them with food and shelter. The only difference is they will be in a jail cell.
Is it possible they will have better care in jail. After all they will also be given health care in jail.
