Gavin you need to provide them some place to go!
Agree 100%. Look up the “housing first model” and donate to non profits that do this:
Far too many states handle homelessness very poorly.
They got the hottest desert or the ocean. Reminds me, if you’re homeless and were not homeless before, where did you live?
The most plausible answer is that you were a regular person living a regular life as a regular citizen. But hey, can’t pay to live somewhere? Fuck you! You’re out right?
And that folks is who these homeless people are…it’s you all in the future.
They are offering them homes right?.. right??
This country would have shanty towns like Africa if we allowed people to build and keep them. We dont even give then that dignity here
In North Korea, homeless are swept into some dark corner, away from liberal eyes. Wait a year or two before the abhorrent conditions literally kill them. Throw the body in a furnace and make room for the next group of people who couldn’t afford another $200/mo rent increase.
Or maybe they got illegally towed and lost their job. Illegally evicted to turn the home into an AirBnB. Maybe their boss Illegally withheld pay.
The collapse of an imperial core is experienced by seeing homeless people die one by one until you’re one of them.
Ah just kidding it’s actually the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the entirety of recorded human history this happens in.
He’s really trying to get the VP nod, huh?
He’s trying but having POTUS and VP both from California? Conservatives would lose their minds.
That’s not stopping him from trying.
I’m not a conservative but for a national figurehead, stacking them up based on one state is poor strategy.
That is not going to happen
He can’t be Harris’s VP. Two people from the same state can run on the same ticket but electors for the electorial college can’t vote for two people from the same state as the elector. That means that no elector from California could vote for a Harris/Newsom ticket. Democrats cannot win in the electorial college without California.
Apparently the piece of shit was a Republican all along.
Apparently the piece of shit was a Republican all along.
According to the article:
“This executive order directs state agencies to move urgently to address dangerous encampments while supporting and assisting the individuals living in them — and provides guidance for cities and counties to do the same,” Newson said in a statement. “There are simply no more excuses. It’s time for everyone to do their part.”
“Our city encampment teams and street outreach staff have been going out every day to bring people indoors, and to clean and clear encampments,” spokesperson Parisa Safarzadeh told CNN in a statement. “This is why we are seeing a five year low in the City’s tent count on our streets.”
Newsom has said while he opposes penalties for people sleeping outside, the Grants Pass ruling has been interpreted so widely that it broadly prevents cities from doing anything.
Yeah, I dunno. Doesn’t exactly feel the same as the republican agendas we’ve been hearing about.
The article noticeably omits any mention of housing waiting to receive these people, leading me to believe there is none.
They talk nicer, but in reality
Personal possessions, including medicines and necessary medical devices, are routinely thrown away. It’s a quotidian event that Leilani Farha, the United Nations special rapporteur on adequate housing, described as a “cruelty” that she hasn’t seen in other impoverished corners of the world.
“'The idea that a government would deny people those services … when they have nowhere else to go suggests a kind of cruelty that is unsurpassed,” Farha told Business Insider. “It’s an attempt to erase people. Worse than erase — I can only use the word annihilate. It is a denial of someone’s humanity.'”
…
Under international human rights law, governments are required “to apply the maximum of available resources to upgrading informal settlements” like slums, shanty towns, and homeless encampments.
“The struggle in the south is to legalize and regularize encampments,” she said. “Here, the struggle is simply to be able to create an encampment. In the south, there’s sort of a blind eye that has turned. Once an informal settlement is created, it’s established. Whereas here, they can’t create them.”
In the Bay Area, Farha talked to many people who were temporarily living in an encampment before they were ordered to move by city officials during a “tent sweep.”
“It’s damaging because they always have to move,” she says. “They’re treated like nonentities. Sometimes they say (belongings are) put in storage, but more often they’ll dump everyone’s possessions into one Dumpster. It’s horrible. It’s not dignified. The people have nowhere to go. It’s illogical. It’s tragic.”
Nice words don’t change the fact that we’re violating international law and abusing vulnerable people, they actually make it a lot worse because a lot more people would recognize what we’re doing and be horrified if moderate Dems didn’t do this propagandizing bullshit.
You posted 3 articles written about events in 2018. 1st link written in 2020, recounting the events of 2018.
Gavin was not even in office yet as Governor.
And to remind everyone who made it here again: your Gish Gallop comment is just a distraction from the topic I was responding to, which is Gavin acting like a Republican.
I’ll leave a link of my own. Reaganomics Accelerated the Homelessness Crisis
I remember when he was mayor. He was a walking scandal who used women and treated his job like it was owed to him. He rode the success of Willie Brown and grew up with money so he has no idea what hard work actually is. The worst part is that he’s the old money part of California that votes blue but is waiting for their Sinema Moment to sell out to a big enough paycheck. He’s always been a secret conservative.
He’s one of Pelosi’s acolytes, so yeah, just another right-wing democrat.
Correct…
Gavin Newsom’s keeping it all in the family
