The Daily Progress weighs in on the case which Steve Benjamin argued recently in the federal supreme court. The city of Richmond basically declared its public housing,
and the streets surrounding it, private property and started issuing trespass violations. Even the Virginia courts couldn't find that constitutional.
"[T]he method for dealing with such problems on other public streets and sidewalks is to provide law enforcement not to simply ban the public from those public areas."
