Well, I'm not from the United States, but I suppose this will force those cities to offer a viable alternative to homelessness. Things like free housing or the like

It doesn’t force cities to do anything. It just tells people living on the street they’re not allowed to be anywhere. It ignores that they have no desire to be there and have nowhere to go.

It’s like “no urinating in public.” Cities are not obligated to provide a reasonable number of public restrooms per some set area. In fact they’re not obligated to have any, typically. They simply punish people and then shrug when you bring up biological necessity.

The meme's template fills itself.

Perhaps because i am from the United States i fr cannot tell if you are being facetious or not.

They've got those rose-colored glasses on thinking the American dream still exists.

You would be wrong, the only viable housing they will provide will be cells.
