The announcement follows Newsom’s 2024 executive order, which directed encampment cleanups after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling granted state and local governments more authority to remove them.

    someone should pose that question to the red states that literally ship their homeless to california and then call CA a shithole for having a homelessness problem.

      Texas has actually started reforming zoning laws to allow for more housing, as much of a shithole as that state can be otherwise

      Housing is an area that California has absolutely failed on, and it doesn’t look like Newsome will do anything to fix it

      Reform zoning laws. Allow more dense housing to be built. Once housing is fixed, homelessness will follow suit

      The vast majority of Californian homeless people become homeless in California. Some people do come here from out of state, but it’s around 10% of the total homeless population. 75% of homeless Californians even live in the same county they became homeless in.

      California doesn’t have a ton of homeless people because everyone else is bussing homeless people here, it’s because it’s expensive as fuck (both rent and home prices).
