”Homed” people do those things, quite often, yet I have to se any anti-vacancy laws.

It is telling that society regularly outlaws afflictions like homelessness or situations like vagrancy instead of targeting the specific instances of bad behaviour that ought to be the problem.

We outlaw homelessness because we don't want homeless people on the streets littering the place.

The bad behaviours you want to be outlawed are in fact already outlawed. It's just super hard to catch and convict on those. While it's a lot easier to prove someone is sleeping rough.

That’s two major problems baked into one.

First: We hide the symptoms behind a veneer of illegality which allows us to ignore the underlying causes.

Second: We intentionally write laws which has a proportionally negative effect based on social and medical class of citizens. A class which is already facing hardships.

”The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.”

		There should be a majestic law that forbids both the rich and poor to use their position in public office to enrich themselves.
