If we're talking the US, it's routine for municipalities to effectively ban homelessness. The penalties are usually a visit to jail & fines. Yes, fines, for people who can't afford homes. The supreme court also recently ruled that municipalities can do this even if there's not enough shelter space for them. It's not really an exaggeration to say that US attitudes & policies towards homelessness are genocidal.
