Debates over homeless encampments in the United States have
intensified as their number has surged. To tackle the problem,
some cities have enforced bans on public camping.

As the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments about whether

The Times, discusses the case and its far-reaching implications.

Guest: Abbie VanSickle, a Supreme Court correspondent for The New

particularly those in the West, grapple with a rising
homelessness crisis.
