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.

    The governor’s office stated that the task force will prioritize sites deemed unsafe and collaborate with local governments to connect individuals with shelter, health care and substance use services.

    So much is not covered in rage bait titles.

    this is the same tactic that got us trump this second time.

      When all encampments are deemed unsafe and local services are already stretched to the breaking point, I think we can be justified in calling this out for the performative anti-homeless bullshit it is.

      Nothing short of a complete reorganization of the economy so that working class people are prioritized instead of billionaires will fix this problem though.

        Agreed with the second statement but the first is just abandoning people instead of helping them and that is negligence.

          Newsom wants to clear out homeless encampments without expanding the services necessary to ensure they won’t just build an encampment somewhere else. That seems like abandonment to me.

            without expanding the services necessary to ensure they won’t just build an encampment somewhere else.

            Based on what? The article stated the housing dept is involved. So where are you getting this information from?

              The article linked a previous piece that has more context: https://ktla.com/news/california/homelessness-experts-weigh-in-on-newsoms-executive-order-on-encampments/|

              “Kushel applauded the Newsom administration for addressing the ongoing crisis and its root cause but noted that California would have to make strides in closing the income and housing cost gaps so people can afford housing while also working to increase capacity at shelters so more unhoused individuals could utilize that option.”

                Yes that’s why he’s involved housing. It said it in the article had you actually read it.

                  I did read the article, there’s no need to be a condescending prick.

                  It doesn’t say anywhere in the article that he’s actually increasing housing, just that he’s “connecting” people with housing services. The article I linked then says that housing services in the state are stretched past full capacity.

                    Ditto. Take your own advice before you be giving it. I’m just responding in kind. Don’t like it then you can change tone or cry and leave. But expect more if you keep this up.

                    But either way, sidestepping your ad hominem attack and getting back to the point: you’re still extracting your own narrative for no other reason than to vilify a character(which is not surprising considering you couldnt resist ad hominem even under a basic rage bait complaint).

                    I will remind you This title was misleading to bait rage. And your filled with conjecture to keep up that rage without even nodding to this kind of distasteful media. It’s disgusting. It’s disgusting when dems do it. It’s disgusting when reps do it. It’s disgusting when tiktokers keep it up when it’s been pointed out. I will not change my mind on this. It is disgusting.
