I wish they said how long people lived there before becoming homeless.
Ninety percent of participants became homeless in California, having been last housed in the state.
This means someone could have moved there there and been housed for a period of time before not being able to make ends meet.
There's also this at the end though..
Two-thirds (66%) were born in California.
So it seems it's still a mostly local issue.
The governor’s office stated that the task force will prioritize sites deemed unsafe and collaborate with local governments to connect individuals with shelter, health care and substance use services.
So much is not covered in rage bait titles.
this is the same tactic that got us trump this second time.
When all encampments are deemed unsafe and local services are already stretched to the breaking point, I think we can be justified in calling this out for the performative anti-homeless bullshit it is.
Nothing short of a complete reorganization of the economy so that working class people are prioritized instead of billionaires will fix this problem though.
It seems like this is a bit of a political move. I understand that the article mentions connecting the homeless that are cleared with the local support structure. But it gives no mention of how those support structures will be improved. No additional funding or infrastructure provided.
From what I understand the local support structures are already at capacity and generally shelters are still unsafe (especially for women).
This is either coming from Newsome not understanding the issue at best. And a political move that will just cause more suffering at worst.
Bluemaga won't care. We told yall this is who he is. Immiserating the homeless is what he does for fun.
as described, it doesn't seem as bad as the title
but we all know the reality will not be as it is described
Why help the homeless when you can spend the same amount of money to inflict greater suffering.
Literally does say help the homeless but you would have had to have read the article to find that out.
but I guess enraging at minimal information is what we are now.
Were you fucking born yesterday? This is the same exact rhetoric of empty promises we get every time they sweep up the homeless, and it never ever happens. Where is all this housing? Where are the shelters going to come from? Has Newsom secured any funding for these assistance programs? Did he bother asking the homeless people why they weren't already in shelters? Gawd damn, you only see this level of ignorance and arrogance in two places, red and blue MAGA. You've polluted this entire thread with you're nonsense.
Here's hoping that AOC or some other progressive wins the white house. Newsom, while better than Trump, is still shit.
As for Cali, I am hoping for Katie Porter or likeminded folk to take leadership when Newsom vacates his office. The homeless and everybody else needs help from someone who genuinely gives a damn.
Would bet cash money the DNC selects- I mean uh he fairly wins the DNC primary for next election cycle lol.
As though he hasn't already been selected.
Fuck Newsom for this, and all his regressive vetoes against laws throughout his tenure as governor to help fix this issue.
The governor’s office stated that the task force will prioritize sites deemed unsafe and collaborate with local governments to connect individuals with shelter, health care and substance use services.
You didn’t Read the article.
And you're swallowing copaganda
This sounds an awful lot like Louisiana...
Relocation begins: Jeff Landry's administration clears New Orleans homeless encampments
Louisiana coerced unhoused people into an unheated warehouse – and paid $17.5m for it
It started out as needing to clear everyone out allegedly for security reasons bc of the Bourbon street attacks and the Superbowl, but everyone assumed he was trying to just slap a coat of paint on the city. Then it happened again when there was a big Taylor Swift concert, now it's like every time "we have company" we should just understand Landry will be rounding up homeless people to make the city more presentable.
People keep saying Newsome is just doing this kind of shit to prove he's a centrist Democrat but I'm kinda starting to worry it might be a little more sinister than that.
Word of advice for California, be very cautious about allowing any state police or task force to permanently or semi permanently set up in your cities. If it gets proposed push back as loud and hard as you legally can, no matter what you local government might indicate about it.
Homeless sweep ahead of Taylor Swift concert reveals conflict between city, Troop NOLA
Troop NOLA: What we know about the new Louisiana State Police troop in New Orleans
Mayor LaToya Cantrell 'in alignment' with Gov. Jeff Landry's crime plan for New Orleans
And if you can't stop it from happening make sure your city hammers out even the most obscure details in a contract. If you're not sure if you need to bother with getting it in writing, you do.
I changed the original headline bc it's misleading. It makes it sound like the contract was something city council wanted bc they wanted homeless sweeps. The city pushed for a formal contract bc State police were just doing it without any say from the city on how they rounded people up or where they took them.
