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.

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.

Tell me how clearing homeless encampments will improve things.

You Tell me how NOT giving medical help, food, shelter and offer addiction recovery is improving things.

People without housing aren’t props to make you feel better about how you live your life.

Oh boy I sure love the idea of violently destroying someone's home with no plan in place for any extra service or place for them to go. Just hand them a brochure for the exact same services that have failed them for years.

Unless you have a fucking home to move them into you should not be clearing these encampments.

It sounds like they plan to clear the camps and dump the people on the (already strained) local support systems without giving any extra funding or infra to those support systems.

And you're swallowing copaganda
