The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Friday to review a lower-court’s ruling on whether homeless people have a constitutional right to camp on public property, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The court’s decision to pick up the case came a day after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed decisions from lower-courts in California and other Western states from blocking anti-camping ordinances, according to the the LA Times.
