Would these people rather homeless people break into places and sleeping inside? This seems like the only plausible alternative.

Of course they would. Homeless people aren’t criminals and they can’t make being homeless a crime, per se, so they just do as much as they can to drive them towards crimes. It’ll be safer to avoid being caught if they break in and can be hidden but if they do get caught it’ll be horrendous. They’ll put them in slave camps-I’m sorry, “jails” and away we go.

It is the most heinous shit imaginable and these broken monsters get off to it.

I mean vagrancy is increasingly being criminalized directly.

Watch closely as they make providing shelter illegal as well (just like they made providing food illegal). The cruelty is the point.
