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.”
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
