Not this: New St. Louis bill would allow homeless to pee in public:
Legislation to expand the rights of homeless people — including a provision exempting them from the city’s law against urinating and defecating in public — was introduced Friday at the Board of Aldermen.
The sponsor, Alderwoman Alisha Sonnier of Tower Grove East, and Aldermanic President Megan Green asserted that the exemption was needed because police had targeted the unhoused with selective enforcement.
Undoubtedly, they only enforced the law against those violating it.
You know, I don’t actually remember the St. Louis Cholera epidemic of 1849, but I know it happened.
Unlike some elected officials, for whom history started sometime in the 21st century.
