I get you, but even that could fall under loitering or traffic laws though. No need for a specific law against homelessness

    The law this article is about isn't explicitly "against homelessness" either, though. It's similar to the one I described - prohibiting certain acts in certain places. Presumably if I had a home but I went and took some food from that guy I'd still trigger it.
