Deep dives
Supreme Court to Decide Historic Homeless Case
The podcast discusses a historic case related to the homeless crisis in the West that the Supreme Court is set to hear. The increase in homelessness in the Western United States, particularly with unsheltered homeless individuals in places like California, is highlighted. Legal reasons, including a 2018 Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision, have made it challenging for cities to enforce camping bans without sufficient shelter. Lawsuits by citizen groups against cities to clean up homeless encampments have raised legal barriers, leading to a Supreme Court case.
Impact of Lawsuits on Homeless Encampments Cleanup
Various citizen groups have sued cities in the West to compel them to clean up homeless encampments, with differing outcomes based on legal interpretations like the City of Boise decision. Examples include disabled individuals in Portland suing over sidewalk blockages and a public nuisance lawsuit in Phoenix leading to successful camp clearance. Legal battles have made it difficult for cities to address the encampment issue consistently, with conflicting judgments across different cases.
Audience Preference for Older TV Shows on Streaming Platforms
Streaming platforms are experiencing a trend where older licensed TV shows, rather than originals, dominate viewer preferences. Shows like 'The Big Bang Theory', 'NCIS', and 'Grey's Anatomy' that have been in syndication for years top the streaming charts. Factors such as lack of new original productions due to strikes, nostalgia, and the comfort of episodic content are cited as reasons why audiences are gravitating towards familiar, easily accessible shows. Streaming services like Netflix focus on acquiring older content, which is cost-effective and aligns with viewer demands for reliable and less demanding entertainment choices.
The Supreme Court hears a case that could end public homelessness, could Nikki Haley join a third party ticket, and nostalgic shows dominate Netflix. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.
