Yes, this law review article is three years old. No need to message that this is old.
However, it is timely in light of Justice Sotomayor’s comments in Ortiz. Please read the article and appreciate the writer. For YEARS we have been screaming about individuals being LEGISLATED INTO HOMELESSNESS and for years we’ve been ignored. Hopefully Justice Sotomayor’s statement resonates.
