 The court has made it easier for cities to ban sleeping outside. NPR's Jennifer Ludden reports the decision is a win for dozens of cities that want more power to manage a record number of people living on streets and in parks. The Supreme Court decision overturns lower court rulings that had said it's cruel and unusual to arrest or fine people if they have nowhere else to go. That applied to nine Western states, some of whom argued it hamstrung their efforts to keep public spaces safe and open for everyone.
