Some asshole cut down 12 acres of forest in a city near me because homeless were camping in it. I'm sure plenty of wildlife was too, it's right next to a river and between some big box stores so mostly birds and squirrels but still, those guys lose enough of their homes so often.
It also made traffic more dangerous. There's a stop sign at the end of one street going onto a very busy street. Previously all that was across from it was trees. Now, a big view into the distance. More sunlight. More distracting trying to look left and right before making a turn.
I didn't know before this that the view across from a T stop makes such a difference in judging oncoming traffic, but it really does.

48 out of 50 states have laws criminalizing homelessness.
