The idea of banning sit and lie in various areas is an understandable reaction to the homeless but it simply means that the homeless
will go elsewhere.  The failure of the State and City and our politicians to set up special areas where the homeless could camp
while at the same time attempting to encourage the building of low income housing to ease the housing shortage means that this kind of
law will fail to do much but to hide or disguise the existence of an increasing homeless population.  Meanwhile, more and more housing
developments for the affluent continue to be built and in exchange, some so called "affordable units" are built or if not, the developers
are allowed to pay a token fee as a penalty.  This might be referred to as "bait and switch".
