Homeless not allowed to sleep in Grants Pass, Oregon

But U.S. Supreme Court says "homeless and awake" is okay

Basically, the six so-called "conservative" justices said that a city can ban the homeless from sleeping on sidewalks and in public parks, while the three lonesome liberals declared that sleeping is a necessity of life and that homeless individuals need as much shut-eye as anyone else.

Don't get me wrong. 

I love Grants Pass. It's one of my favorite cities in Oregon after Seaside, Corvallis, Cannon Beach, Astoria, Eugene, Ashland, Klamath Falls, Bend, Burns, Baker, Boardman, Beaverton, Brookings, Pendleton, Portland, Roseburg, Umatilla, Scappoose, Tillamook and Spokane. Wait, Spokane's in Washington, so scratch that.

Grants Pass, a charming Southern Oregon town of 39,000 nestled on the banks of the world famous Rogue River, is now Ground Zero in this country's never-ending struggle with homelessness thanks to a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision.
