I do not think the intent of the bill is go after the telescope squatters, it is enabling police to address trespassers.  I also don't think the intent of the other bill is to take away rights from the mentally ill, it is to help them and discourage camping out in public parks that tax payers pay. With that said intent doesn't always result in the desired outcome and application. My opinion is that part of the problem is the vacillation in how homelessness is addressed.  First it's okay for an enormous camp in kakaako to stand with absolutely no opposition and then one day they all have to start moving.  So they go to the park and then suddenly rules about the park go out the window and then one day they are back again and homeless people have to go.  I will say tho that some of this comes from the days of prioritizing austerity and cutting programs and now we have to ask for even more money to fix problems that could have costed less money in a preventative mindset.
