    no longer any barrier to local governments utilizing the substantial resources provided by the State, in tandem with federal and local resources, to address encampments with both urgency and humanity

    With those “substantial resources” and a sense of “humanity”, you’d think they’d build housing for those in need.

    Nope! It just means shuffling people experiencing homelessness to another place. What an absolute asshole!

      Shuffling them to other places is how many arrived in California to begin with. But an eye for an eye is bullshit. The la times has no love for newsome

        San Diego did a study and found that most homeless people there were natives who had been fully employed and watched over years as rent got worse and worse until they were evicted.

        The idea that all the homeless are from red states who gave them a bus ticket is a myth meant to relieve us of any feeling of responsibility or empathy for them.
