Ep. 242: Can The Courts Solve The Homelessness Crisis?

The population of homeless individuals across the country has continued to rise, and so have the lawsuits over the rights of the unhoused to occupy public spaces. On the other side of that fight however are business owners who are pressing cities to crack down on encampments that affect their livelihood. On this week’s episode we talk with Law360 reporter Jack Karp about the two sides of the argument, and what cities caught in the middle can do to try and walk that tightrope. Also this week, the government alleges that TurboTax is lying about its services being free, and MillerCoors gets hit with a massive trademark infringement verdict over its Keystone Light label. Finally, Elon Musk quotes rapper Eminem in his latest exchange with the SEC, because of course he did.
