On May 12, California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, demanded that cities throughout the state adopt anti-camping ordinances that would effectively ban public homelessness by requiring unhoused individuals to relocate every 72 hours.
While presented as a humanitarian effort to reduce homelessness, the new policy victimizes California’s growing unhoused population—approximately 187,000 people—by tying funding in Proposition 1 to local laws banning sleeping or camping on public land.
In his announcement, Newsom pushed local governments to adopt the draconian ordinances “without delay.”

And moving the homeless every 72 hours does what to fix this problem?
It does nothing. He should do what all the other states without a homelessness problem are doing.
What are those states doing?
I’m gonna guess "one way bus ticket to California "
What do those states do, coward? Lock people up for poverty?
They are clearly doing something that works better for the average person given the emigration rate. California won’t be able to keep these ‘programs’ going if their disatisfied tax base continues the already decade long exodus for greener pastures. California is disgusting and dangerous. People don’t like public defecation, open drug use, theft and violent crime. “The people” have spoken and are moving to Texas, Florida, Arizona, Nevada etc
So no specifics? Just assuming they must be doing something
Cope
What does cope do for anyone? How is that made into a policy to help homeless people?
What do you want to happen to the homeless people, then? If the thing the other states are doing is pushing homeless people to California, and you want California to push them elsewhere, where do they end up?
Well that is the cost of subsidizing and creating an entirely novel legal framework for vagrancy, shoplifting etc More people leave California than any other state in the country every year. In other words, California sucks. It’s covered in human excrement and is riddled with crime
Yeah it’s definitely cultural and not at all to do with cost of living making it uninhabitable
California isn’t the place to be if you are looking for an affordable lifestyle. If you want that you’re better off literally anywhere else in the country. Mississippi, Missouri, West Virginia etc. California/Oregon have so many homeless not because locals are somehow priced out but because both states famously attract vagrants. You can do pretty much whatever you want with no consequences and get handouts.
You definitely sound like someone who lives in and knows about California lmao
