"It's now legal for homeless to camp on Austin streets...
Before the change, it was illegal to sit, lie or camp in public. Now, officers will only give tickets to people who block pathways."
Correction: It's now legal for anyone to camp on Austin streets, encouraging more people to live on the street.
Living on the street is becoming an attractive lifestyle, and it's ruining some of the best cities. If Austin's move signals a new trend, this is not a good sign.
