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.

    I loved that they let a ton of people out of jail when they legalized marijuana and vacated a ton of convictions.

    But then they literally just turned people out on the street with zero fucking pathways. No money, no home, no phone, just zero fucking resources.

    It was an almost overnight explosion of homelessness in San Diego.

    Sure they have always had a homeless population (the weather is particularly ideal for living outside most of the year), but nothing like it turned in to.

    Clearing camps won’t help. Like you said, you need to solve the root problem.
