Finally I have rights!!!!!!!! And get a bathroom

SACRAMENTO (AP) - The homeless in California would legally be allowed to sit, sleep and ask for donations in public without facing criminal citations under an Assembly bill receiving its first hearing.

The bill from Democratic Assemblyman Tom Ammiano of San Francisco says every person has a right to use public spaces, regardless of housing status.

Ammiano's so-called "Homeless Bill of Rights" prohibits police from enforcing local ordinances regarding resting in public places unless a county has provided sufficient support to the homeless.

AB5 also requires state government to pay for creating local "hygiene centers" with restrooms and showers open 24 hours a day.

The Assembly Judiciary Committee will hear the bill Tuesday morning. Local governments and business groups oppose the legislation, saying it would lead to costly mandates and lawsuits.

It would be a lot less expensive to buy the homeless a membership at 24 Hour Fitness centers.

The homeless have been with us forever and will be with us forevermore. Every so often, someone with a vision comes along thinking that they have a way to change the plight of the homeless. The only thing that changes is the someone.

This time around there's a politician that's determined to shoot off his foot.

Maybe Assemblyman Ammiano will be the first to step up and offer his house/apartment as the local 24/7 "hygIene center" for the homeless.
