Courts in Denver and other cities have struck down urban camping bans, citing the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. In Austin, the homelessness issue has shifted from downtown to the fringes, while in Malibu, the city is struggling with RVs parked indefinitely along the Pacific Coast Highway. Officials report health violations involving the dumping of sewage into public right-of-ways.

The United States Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from the city of Boise regarding a Ninth Circuit ruling on homeless encampments. The lower court determined that ticketing individuals for sleeping in public when no shelter beds are available constitutes cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment. This decision effectively prevents West Coast cities from enforcing camping bans without providing adequate housing solutions.

The Joe Rodota Trail in Santa Rosa, California, has been taken over by a quarter-mile-long homeless encampment. Local police claim they cannot intervene due to a Ninth Circuit Court ruling in a Boise, Idaho, case involving the Eighth Amendment's protection against cruel and unusual punishment. The ruling prevents the eviction of homeless individuals from public property unless alternative beds are available.
