He’s trying but having POTUS and VP both from California? Conservatives would lose their minds.

Gavin you need to provide them some place to go!

They got the hottest desert or the ocean. Reminds me, if you’re homeless and were not homeless before, where did you live?

The most plausible answer is that you were a regular person living a regular life as a regular citizen. But hey, can’t pay to live somewhere? Fuck you! You’re out right?

And that folks is who these homeless people are…it’s you all in the future.

Apparently the piece of shit was a Republican all along.

Apparently the piece of shit was a Republican all along.

According to the article:

“This executive order directs state agencies to move urgently to address dangerous encampments while supporting and assisting the individuals living in them — and provides guidance for cities and counties to do the same,” Newson said in a statement. “There are simply no more excuses. It’s time for everyone to do their part.”

“Our city encampment teams and street outreach staff have been going out every day to bring people indoors, and to clean and clear encampments,” spokesperson Parisa Safarzadeh told CNN in a statement. “This is why we are seeing a five year low in the City’s tent count on our streets.”

Newsom has said while he opposes penalties for people sleeping outside, the Grants Pass ruling has been interpreted so widely that it broadly prevents cities from doing anything.

Yeah, I dunno. Doesn’t exactly feel the same as the republican agendas we’ve been hearing about.

The article noticeably omits any mention of housing waiting to receive these people, leading me to believe there is none.

They talk nicer, but in reality

Personal possessions, including medicines and necessary medical devices, are routinely thrown away. It’s a quotidian event that Leilani Farha, the United Nations special rapporteur on adequate housing, described as a “cruelty” that she hasn’t seen in other impoverished corners of the world.

web.archive.org/…/sweeps-of-homeless-camps-in-cal…)

“'The idea that a government would deny people those services … when they have nowhere else to go suggests a kind of cruelty that is unsurpassed,” Farha told Business Insider. “It’s an attempt to erase people. Worse than erase — I can only use the word annihilate. It is a denial of someone’s humanity.'”

…

Under international human rights law, governments are required “to apply the maximum of available resources to upgrading informal settlements” like slums, shanty towns, and homeless encampments.

“The struggle in the south is to legalize and regularize encampments,” she said. “Here, the struggle is simply to be able to create an encampment. In the south, there’s sort of a blind eye that has turned. Once an informal settlement is created, it’s established. Whereas here, they can’t create them.”

In the Bay Area, Farha talked to many people who were temporarily living in an encampment before they were ordered to move by city officials during a “tent sweep.”

“It’s damaging because they always have to move,” she says. “They’re treated like nonentities. Sometimes they say (belongings are) put in storage, but more often they’ll dump everyone’s possessions into one Dumpster. It’s horrible. It’s not dignified. The people have nowhere to go. It’s illogical. It’s tragic.”

Nice words don’t change the fact that we’re violating international law and abusing vulnerable people, they actually make it a lot worse because a lot more people would recognize what we’re doing and be horrified if moderate Dems didn’t do this propagandizing bullshit.

Cynically, I take this to mean that he’s given up on the possibility of a 2024 presidential run.

While this will undoubtedly be popular with Californians who don’t give a shit about homeless people and just don’t want to have to see it, it would almost certainly have led to some blowback in the middle of a Democratic presidential campaign, so it’s safe to assume that the decision was waiting in the wings so to speak - ready to be implemented, but only when it wouldn’t cause problems for his federal aspirations.
