The Brockton City Council voted 7 to 4 to ban homeless encampments on public property and set a $200-a-day fine for violations. Brockton has seen rampant homelessness in their downtown area that has led to many concerns. Is this an effective way to tackle the problem of homelessness? Should homeless encampments be banned?
