This week, the Anaheim City Council voted to make it a crime to lie down or sleep on public sidewalks and benches. People who violate that law can be jailed and prosecuted with a misdemeanor, according to the ordinance.
“The sidewalk belongs to everybody,” Councilmember Jose Diaz said, according to the O.C. Register. “Not to an individual who wants to grab that piece of land. It’s not yours to grab. You either take services from us or you get out.”

“The sidewalk belongs to everybody so we’re banning people from using it so that people can use it”
the side walk belongs to everybody, except the homeless
This is Anaheim so I kinda wonder if it’s secretly Disney/Disneyland pushing this under the guise of current events
