    I wonder the same thing. A lot of the commenters seem to have read the headline alone, and assumed that the story is about Newsom trying to exile or jail homeless people, but that’s not what the article says. A few important points:

    an executive order Thursday to direct state agencies on how to remove homeless encampments

    The order makes clear that the decision to remove the encampments remains in local hands.

    Newsom has worked hard to address the issue. He threw all of his political weight behind a ballot measure earlier this year to allow the state to borrow nearly $6.4 billion to build 4,350 housing units, which passed with a razor-thin margin.

      6.4 billion to build 4,350 housing units

      That’s 1.5million per unit?

      WTF sort “affordable” housing are these clown building

      When are we going admit that most of this money goes into corruption?
