Local Public Entities and Protection of Subsistence

1)根据《地方政府法》，凡在地方公共实体有地址的人都是其居民。一方面，地方公共实体必须接受任何人成为其成员，只要他/她住在其领土内。另一方面，居民不能拒绝成为地方公共实体的成员。我们在研究无家可归者的法律的地位时，需要从这一角度出发。2)即使地方公共实体不得不命令住在公园帐篷里的无家可归者离开那里，地方公共实体也必须采取司法强制措施，而不是行政强制措施“Ersatzvornahme”。3)保护生存是政治的要求，只有当我们相互承认自己是自由和独立的个体时，我们才能拥有。

1) According to the Local Government Act, those who have addresses in a local public entity are its residents. On one hand, local public entities have to accept anyone to be their member, if he/she lives in their territories. On the other hand, residents cannot refuse to be members of the local public entity. It is this point of view that we need to start from, when we study legal status of homeless people. 2) Even when local public entities have to order homeless people living in tents in parks to leave there, the local public entities must adopt a judicial enforcement but not the "Ersatzvornahme", an administrative enforcement. 3) Protection of subsistence is a requirement of the politics, which we are able to have, only when we mutually acknowledge ourselves as free and independent individuals.
