57% Of Austin, Texas Voters Are Assholes
In Austin, it is now a criminal offense to be homeless. If you are caught being homeless, you will be fined $500. If you are homeless and resort to panhandling to try to pay your fine, you will be fined an additional $500. Since the law makes it impossible for you to pay either fine, you could be jailed at taxpayer expense. It costs about $60/day to house and feed an inmate in Austin. It costs taxpayers about $15/day to house and feed a person at a homeless shelter.
People didn’t think this through.
