In California, a sixty-six-year-old man was jailed on Monday after being accused of illegally housing homeless people on his ranch in San Luis Obispo. For the past eight years, Dan de Vaul has run a sober-living center for about thirty homeless people on his seventy-two-acre ranch. In September, a jury convicted him of two misdemeanor violations of building and safety codes at his ranch. De Vaul was offered probation, but he refused the terms. De Vaul said, “I’m proud to go to jail for housing the homeless.”
