Newsom urges California cities to clear homeless encampments

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Monday called on city governments in his state to urgently address the prevalence of homeless encampments, issuing a model ordinance to facilitate local bans.
“There’s nothing compassionate about letting people die on the streets,” Newsom said in a statement. “The time for inaction is over. There are no more excuses.”
The governor called upon every local government to implement policies without delay, stressing that such efforts are backed by billions of dollars in state funding and were affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court, which reversed a ban on clearing encampments in June 2024.
Newsom’s model ordinance builds upon a 2024 executive order, which pushed all municipalities to harness state and local funding to connect those enduring homelessness with care and support.
The announcement occurred in tandem with the release of $3.3 billion in voter-approved funding for expanded behavioral health and housing in communities statewide, according to a press release from the governor’s office.

Enough that he wants to run for President and wants to appear moderate and reasonable

he wants to remove the easiest talking point for his election run which is the shitty state of all his cities overrun with needles, drug addicts and mentally ill homeless people.
democrats dont do ANYTHING to help people out of a desire to help. just look at how they've treated the families of teh little girls who were raped and killed by illegal aliens.

Exactly. I’ve been warning everyone about this guy for years. He is now acting like he is “moderating” to set up his Presidential run. And i’m afraid he will win if he gets the nomination & and undo everything good that Trump will have done by then.

Yeah, this is going to work out... how much will is cost?

Regardless of his motivations, I hope he can pressure cities enough to follow through. California is such a beautiful state and would easily be the crown jewel of the United States with common sense policies.

Can you imagine how badly Vance will surgically pick him apart in the debates if he’s their nominee?

In other words, just like so many times before, that means "Round them up, give them a one way bus ticket, and send them to conservative states to become their problem."
