Ok sure.
While you're at it, allow cities to commandeer vacancies over 3 months to house the unhoused.
Or is the point to put the squeeze on folks without options or resources to move up economically without providing any solution.

Or is the point to put the squeeze on folks without options or resources to move up economically without providing any solution.
Given Newsom's swing toward the hard right, I'm going with this choice...
And, fuck Newsom. 🤦♀️ 🤷♂️ 🖕
Perhaps we have a brainslug infestation in progress?
Would explain a lot actually...
My money's on more Russian influence.
They don't want them to move up they want them to move out
I bet I can guess which option it is…
Surely banning homeless encampments will solve the homelessness problem.
- Create for profit prisons tantamount to slavery
- Make homelessness illegal
- Destroy the economy and make everybody homeless
- PROFIT
Next, we should ban heart disease and cancer...
Nah, let’s just keep it the way it is and keep the poors illegal, I mean, I feel bad for people with heart disease, if they have health insurance.
It's harder to work in the mines with those
Yo, fuck this guy - pivoting to the right? Fuck off.
Pivoting?
So - when did Newson have a Fetterman-like stroke?
When he realized he could get a bunch of money capitulating to and sane washing hard right wingers with a podcast.
I hope he has one that is substantially worse

Jesus , this guy looking to join Trump's team?
his ex; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhFks_9faQY
his current wife; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Siebel_Newsom
Siebel Newsom was registered as a Republican until 2008, before re-registering as No Party Preference. Prior to registering as an independent voter, she accidentally registered with the far-right American Independent Party, before correcting her party to "decline to state".
I think yes, yes he is.
I came here to say this sounds like something Trump or DeSantis would do. Disappointing it is Newsome. We need leaders with solutions, not bigger prisons. (I'm not sure what I would do, but I'm also not the Gov of California hoping to be in the Dem shortlist in 2028).
I'm trying wrap my head around the possibility of voting for Newsome just to keep whoever the Nazis nominate is really painful.
I already did it for Harris, Biden, and Clinton.

He has tried nothing useful and is all out of ideas.
I don't think the first part is true but unfortunately I agree on the second part. The west Coast in general has been struggling with this for a while and the compassionate approach hasn't shown the promised results. Maybe it technically is, but visible homelessness is what gets people elected.
The solution is so simple. Its two pronged. Get them a place to live. Help them with their problems. Its what happened in this country until a republican took apart the system that was designed to do that. It had its problems but the solution shouldn't have been the abandonment of the national mental health system. This homeless problem is 100 percent tied directly to the utter failure of all politicians who ever supported cuts to the mental health system.
The reason they do it is also simple. They are terrified that everyone will know how bad they are on the inside. Not realizing that most of us already know.

Next up in 2025, the resurgence of the Hooverville

Title is a bit missleading. He's also setting out $3billion for homeless facilities. Better than nothing, he'll probably criminalize homelessness even more than it already is at the same time.
I doubt the $3 billion will do much to reverse the damage California has done with their prison machine, cost of living crisis, and under funded public services. Unless they address the underlying issues the problems are not going to go away.
Yeah that $3 billion won't do squat. California spent $24 billion over a five year period and didn't track any of the money, how it was spent, or the outcomes. It's a safe bet that most of the money went to contractors charging extortionate fees for services while providing almost nothing in return, and probably quite a bit landing in the pockets of local politicians. It was basically a big scam to further enrich a bunch of greedy parasites. A few low-level idiots were charged with fraud and embezzlement of like $400k, but that doesn't even scratch the surface of corruption involved in that whole scheme.

Attacking the very poorest of society with all his energy. What a piece of work.
The sun beams down on a brand-new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last, we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight
Efficiency and progress is ours once more Now that we have the neutron bomb It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done Away with excess enemy With no less value to property No sense in war but perfect sense at home...
Ladies and Gentlemen, our 48th President (whether we want him or not)...
Not going to happen. Not because the conservative Democrats won't be able to hoodwink enough primary voters to believe the highest priority is accommodating what they think their shittiest neighbor could (but will not) tolerate, but because in doing so they'll lose the voters they actually need to win and Don Jr. will ascend to the throne.
You are overlooking the most valuable thing that Newsom has, that makes him even more qualified to earn enough votes to win: a penis.
Unfortunately, if you don't have one, you can't get elected right now.

If you want to get rid of homeless encampments, how about making sure people have a safe place to stay at night?
California is a garden of Eden,
A paradise to live in or see
but believe it or not
you won't find it so hot
if you ain't got the doe ray me.
What a cunt
Just say "kill them", fuck! Stop pretending to be anything other than that.
Sweep all problems under the carpet instead of trying to solve the root problem.
He setup the conditions for San Francisco to actually do this. He just wants more cities to do it now.
