Homeless Minority

The homeless are the minority in this utilitarianism situation. While we believe that these laws are being made because they are helpful but we fail to see the fact that they have no say in what happens even though these laws are directed at them. By not allowing the people impacted by homelessness to have a voice we take away there right as humans, isolate them and also criminalize them. Laws like the urban camping law are not necessary.

Statistics

About 1,750,000 people are homeless 50% of that being african american. 2 years ago there was a increase in homelessness in colorado going from having about 1,700 people to about 3,000.

Urban Camping Law

A law that bans unauthordized camping like sleep on sidewalks and benches and havong their stuff on the streets it was passed in Denver. By having this law they turn people impacted by homelessness into criminals.
