Ok, so I found an old discussion about sleeping bans.

I think sleeping bans are a way to pragmatically identify who is
homeless and an act of homelessness being conducted.

However, sleeping bans contribute to the sense that if you sleep, you
are criminal or asking for trouble, such as from criminals, which
further deteriorates the social standards of society.  Instead, some
bums could be our first line of defense against crime, but instead,
"we" (not I) infest ourselves with crime by making them the criminals.

One major effect is that those who are here don't get decent sleep,
and a result is further mental and physical incapacity.

Therefore, I think exceptions to the sleeping bans should be carefully
drafted to allow citizens to sleep in appropriate conditions, but
still be able to achieve the purpose of the law.  This can be hard.

But, then, the purpose of the law is itself a larger problem.

This all has to be considered as part of a larger system.  What
exactly is the message?  If you're an illegal immigrant, you get jobs,
special treatment, and a carte blance to commit any crime you want,
but furthermore you get to spread lower social standards, steal, rape,
and take the lives and jobs of good citizens, as well, but on the
other hand if you're just a homeless person, you have no place on this
earth, the least of all which to sleep?  That doesn't make any sense.
If there was a system for dealing with this that worked, such as a
peaceful place to let the homeless go, use a minimum of society's
resources, and not bother us, OK, but if we continue this high-density
population policy, then hurting ourselves by telling us we cannot
sleep when we have no more fields or forests and have been priced out
of our own homes by invaders and thieves just seems plain stupid.
