 Live from NPR News in Boston, I'm Josie Guarino. The Supreme Court has ruled cities can penalize people for sleeping outside. The city of Grants Pass, Oregon, had faced a challenge to its ban on people camping in public places. A lower court determined the policy was cruel and unusual punishment. Leaders from other West Coast cities argued that made it difficult for them to manage homeless encampments that were encroaching on sidewalks and other public spaces.
