Federal Court Rejects Bogus Zoning Arguments That Kept Homeless out in the Cold

A federal judge cut through the irrationality and declared the town’s actions unconstitutional. It is a momentous decision not just for the Barber Shelter but also for other property owners restrained by draconian zoning boards.
