Homelessness as a Protected Class?

State Rep. Mia Gregerson is drafting a bill that might as well be a roadmap to turning Washington into one giant homeless encampment. The idea? Make “homelessness” a protected class—on par with disability or race—giving people the right to live just about anywhere they choose, no questions asked.

That’s right, under this bill, cities and counties couldn’t remove homeless encampments from parks, sidewalks, plazas, or even freeway medians. And it doesn’t stop there—people living in zombie RVs or busted cars would get free rein to park anywhere, as long as it’s legally parked. Local governments? Powerless.

The bill even introduces “civil rights” for homeless individuals, claiming that existing laws unfairly target them. But what’s the real kicker? It would be nearly impossible to enforce bans on encampments because smaller cities lack shelters and the resources to build them. The legislation also leaves vague terms like “functionally inaccessible shelters” wide open for abuse. For example, shelters could be deemed inadequate if they don’t let addicts light up fentanyl or cater to every whim.

And here’s what they’re not telling you. Nowhere in the bill’s rationale does it mention addiction or mental illness—two of the biggest causes of homelessness. Instead, it blames economic hardship, discriminatory housing policies, and—you guessed it—a “diminished social safety net.”

This bill isn’t a solution; it’s a disaster waiting to happen.
