It'll be appealed, but the Supreme Court refused to hear a similar case last year. I'm not sure there's enough pro-camping cities to call it a trend, but it does seem to be more prevalent now than say five or ten years ago.
A federal judge decided last week that the Southern Oregon city of 37,500 violated its homeless residents’ Eighth Amendment rights by excluding them from parks without due process and citing them for sleeping outside. The ruling builds on 2018′s landmark Martin v. City of Boise case (https://www.lexisnexis.com/community/casebrief/p/casebrief-martin-v-city-of-boise) that said cities cannot make it illegal to sleep or rest outside without providing people with sufficient indoor alternatives.https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2020/08/cities-cannot-fine-homeless-people-for-living-outside-us-judge-rules-in-grants-pass-case.html
