The Berkeley, California city council loves the homeless so much, they're taking away the only places they can
have sex, urinate and smoke.
It'll be tougher to have sex or smoke on sidewalks or in parks in Berkeley, Calif., after the City Council passed a controversial new measure Tuesday, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The Public Commons for Everyone Initiative cracks down on yelling, littering, camping, drunkenness, smoking, urinating and sex on sidewalks and in parks; the ordinance also provides housing benefits, counseling and public toilets to the university town's homeless population, the paper reports.
"There are people on the streets that we as a society are collectively responsible for," City Councilman Laurie Capitelli told the paper. "I think sometimes people need help fixing their lives, and we collectively have to help people do that."
Seniors and social workers will be responsible for monitoring street behavior, the Chronicle reports.
Seniors, huh? I wonder if
Inflated Scrotum Man will be among them?
