Public spaces belong to the public by right. And the unhoused public, who have the greatest need for public spaces, have therefore the greatest right (slrpnk.net)

That's why I said I hoped I was misunderstanding you. And it sounds like I was misunderstanding you. Sorry!

I agree, the proper use of public facilities are to support the public, and when encampments form on public land, cities need to start by providing showers and toilets and other facilities to meet the immediate needs and simultaneously start working on the deeper structural issues causing homeless encampments to form.

In a limited way, that did happen in San Francisco during the pandemic. Shame they've decided to build a skatepark where those tents are located and drive out unhoused people now. But if the city thinks the problem is not homelessness, but people seeing the homeless in public, that's a "solution".
