Good for him. Homelessness was out of control when I visited San Francisco and LA a few years ago.

SeaJ ,

This just moves the issue somewhere else. How the fuck is this a solution?

slurpeesoforion ,

I wonder how it got that way. I guess we’ll never know.

We are lucky we got Tim Walz instead of Newsom. Tim really cares about outcomes but Gavin is all about appearances.

sunzu ,

Walz gonna be VP... WTF

Y'all getting high on DNC komissars' farts?

Lightor ,

This is the political landscape in a nutshell. Someone from the left makes a statement backed by reality about bettering society then someone on the right says some childish shit and name calls. How perfect.

sunzu ,

It is easy for you pump this shit now... none of you will be around when this boomer cuck spends 4 years in office and we got nothing to show for it.

Political shills do be like this every single time lol

Who is still larping it?

Lightor ,

Are you even capable of having a mature, adult conversation? Without all this school yard stuff and insults, just facts and we’ll formed stances on topics.

Let me ask this, after Trump’s time in office what did he accomplish that helps you? You said we’ll having nothing to show, what do you have to show from Trump? He decreased taxes for the rich, so if you’re rich I get it, otherwise I’m curious.

sunzu ,

None of them every done anything for me that's why I am not longer voting either party.

Third party to deny regime legitimacy is my thesis.

Walz has good record but this a nothing burger since Kamala is the nominee.

If Walz so good, why not make him the nominee?

Lightor , (edited )

They do numerous things that impact you. If you don’t realize this then you’re just uniformed. I don’t say that to be mean, but if you think laws, policies, and elections don’t impact you at all then you’re just wrong. Taxes, medical costs, gas prices through negotiations, involvement in wars, infrastructure bills, holding companies accountable, immigration policies, gun laws, just to name a few. Take whatever things you care most about and I guarantee politics impacts them in some way.

Walz is good, but he doesn’t have the experience she has. But the VP plays a role in politics and is second in line to the leader of our country, them being a good person is important.

You seem to be of the mind that they all do nothing and all this discourse is pointless BS, so why are you even here? Why waste your time reading a post title about politics, click into it, then engage in a conversation?

sunzu ,

None of it benefits me.. They are extracting value out of me so yeah sure they are robbing has a bad impact on me lol

westyvw ,

So you ever actually read his platform? Look into what he has done? Tim has sound and practical reasons for … guess what… doing the right thing.

Feed school children for example. Turns out the grades go up and truancy goes down. Juvenile crime goes down. An educated workforce makes for better wages and a happier populace. He will tell you that… in plain English.

Instead of blaming everyone else and calling names he, you know, fills potholes and offers solutions. He isn’t perfect, but you calling names and acting like an ass with no actuall reasons is just pathetic.

APassenger ,

Your war could use more art.

sunzu ,

There is no art to counter propaganda beyond noting that not everybody is larping regime propaganda for the readers.

News and Politics subs are cess pool.

This is fucking insane. He wants them to create housing immediately, as if building things like apartments doesn’t take time.

Bad enough that the camps are being broken up. They literally have nowhere to go but prison. Oh well, at least the private prisons are making their slave quotas.

He wants them to create housing immediately, as if building things like apartments doesn’t take time.

He says that occasionally, but that’s not really what he wants, he just wants homeless people gone out of sight and out of the minds of his donors and their customers. If they disappear into housing that’s fine, but he’s ok with other solutions too so long as they happen now now now

Los Angeles County, in particular, has become a frequent target of Newsom’s ire. The governor again criticized the county on Thursday for delaying implementation of a law that expands the criteria for people to be detained against their will.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Absolutely. He’s not an idiot. He knows he’s asking the impossible when he says shit like this.

xmunk ,

Welp, buy them all involuntary bus tickets to South Park then… that’ll solve the issue permanently. /s

When is the cocksucker up for relection. We need to Primary him and remove him from politics at least as a Democrat. He fucking DINO and horrible human being. He should join the GOP because everything he does reminds me of them.

APassenger ,

Especially if it doesn’t hurt his electabity. I think he’s quite ambitious and that motivates him.

Besides, what does a career politician do after governorship?

Corporate boards?

bluGill ,

Apartments take a few months to build. There are standard designs they build over an over again in different locations. I realize CA has earthquakes and maybe cannot take a design from Ohio (though I wouldn't be surprised if they could), but there should be plenty of designs that meet codes. If they cannot build thousands of apartments in a year the problem isn't the time it is they are doing something to make it not possible to build that fast.

Building should be by right - no need to ask the neighbors for permission or get a review (for a standard design that doesn't do anything unusual), just half hour to get the permit and then a few routine inspections along the way.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You read what he’s saying in the article, because the implication is pretty clear that he’s saying, “you house these people right now or else” as if that’s possible.

bluGill ,

He has been threatening for a while now. If they haven't made significant progress it is because they are not trying to.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

If they haven’t made significant progress it is because they are not trying to.

Bullshit. They have to deal with a bunch of NIMBYism.

bluGill ,

They refers to the people of the county in question - which is where those NIMBYs live and thus those who are not trying.

disguy_ovahea ,

Forced prison labor is determined by state, not by ownership. There are Federal prisons in many states that use slave labor, socialized by our tax money.

Your point still stands though.

Desistance ,
@Desistance@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe Newsom should focus on NIMBY laws that prevent affordable housing.

APassenger ,

He has done that. Not defending his homelessness position. Only saying he’s mandated housing creation.

Num10ck ,

maybe California shouldn’t have a 3-5 YEAR waitlist for section 8/Housing Choice Vouchers housing?

maybe they should force all those empty retail/commercial/industrial/residential properties to be put to use or forced to hand over to the state.

maybe the church of scientology shouldnt be allowed to own thousands of buildings in california with no stated purposed or published staff?

Junkhead ,

i hate this fucking neolib cunt so much.

Waveform , (edited )

The safety net has people-sized holes in it. I nearly became homeless in June, and it wasn’t the state that came through for me, it was a relative. Even though I’m stll sleeping on a porch, I count myself lucky.

The programs that are supposed to help people stay housed are failing: not enough funds for housing vouchers, restrictions too high for enrollment, and waiting lists too long for practicality.

And Gavin is a wannabe autocrat. If it weren’t for him and his vetomania, we would have legalized natural psychedelics in CA by now. But no, instead we have people out there getting sick from sketchy products. And it seems like it’s the same with everything: do the exact opposite of helping while making it look like you care.

Edit: there are decent leaders out there though, such as this mayor who lived as a homeless man for a week to gain some insight on the matter.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

A large number of the homeless people in L.A. have jobs. It’s just ridiculously expensive to live there, so they end up living in their cars or a tent.

Waveform ,

That’s what I’ve heard as well. Passing them on the street you’d probably think they weren’t even homeless at all. Not everyone finds it possible to get their life together that much, though :/

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know about L.A. in specific, but-

a 2021 study from the University of Chicago estimates that 53% of people living in homeless shelters and 40% of unsheltered people were employed, either full or part-time, in the year that people were observed homeless between 2011 – 2018.

endhomelessness.org/…/employed-and-experiencing-h…

And that was all pre-COVID and housing bubble, obviously.

There are over 650,000 homeless in America now. So even if it’s only 40% of those…

sunzu ,

650k is the visible homeless, my understanding there is another million of people who are not visible homeless.

sunzu ,

Most homeless people are invisible ie you can't tell they are homeless.

They got work, they get by as hard as it is.

But fake teevee always showing junkies on teevee, and act like they all deserve it.

We need real leadership when it comes to affordable housing, instead we get this.
