The announcement follows Newsom’s 2024 executive order, which directed encampment cleanups after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling granted state and local governments more authority to remove them.

    I’ve been homeless. This person is either full of shit or the population they were around was drastically different than mine.

    There are circumstances I recall where people turned down shelter space, opting to sleep on the streets, but that’s because the shelters imposed conditions that were unacceptable to them. Primarily, it was drug addicts refusing to get clean or shelters that imposed religious requirements. The rest was mostly untreated mental illness.

      “but that’s because the shelters imposed conditions that were unacceptable to them.”

      There are people for whom conditions are not acceptable. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have access to a safe place to live.
