On fines for sleeping

The text of MC 6.36.010a specifies a $20 fine.

In 1999 when City Council initiated the current fine, the $20 fine was actually a $54 fine because of county and state add-on's.

As of this year the fine was increased to $90 (more county and state add-on's), which is the amount of "bail" a victim can pay to avoid going to court.

Rotkin and Madrigal have expressed no interest in restoring the fine, even to its 1999 level.

Of course, taxing survival sleeping at $90 a night is another way of saying "hide out or get out".
