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.

    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.
