It's not a big article, but it sure is an interesting one.

What's your take on it? Mine is simple... Homeless people have my sympathy not my contempt. Some of the comments are outrageous. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have friends or family that can help them when they get in trouble and lets be honest, lots of folks are a couple paychecks away from being homeless. It can happen to anyone and people should be more compassionate.

I think it is sad to ban and punish these people for sleeping in these areas.  They have no where else to go and to sleep.  It is sad really.

They only ban sleeping equipment, not actually sleeping.  So, you can sleep, you'll just be uncomfortable.  Which makes the law kind of dumb.  What if you're using newspaper?
