The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, is evicting any homeless on state land and heavily pressuring the cities to evict anyone on city land. He's threatening their state funding if they don't do it.

There aren't enough shelter beds though. This is possible because of trespassing laws and the recent SCOTUS decision wiping out a lower court order saying they needed more beds before they could do it.

We're going to have concentration camps in this country and it will be the homeless. That way we can keep blaming them for capitalism exploiting them right out of their homes. While we force them to work.

seriously. Are shelter beds more expensive than prison beds? This makes no sense.

Less profitable. Which is what conservatives are trying to change by stigmatizing the homeless. Force them into shelters, force them into jobs. Anyone who resists goes into the prison system.
