  • California has a history of combating homeless people, you mean? I want all the diverse groups of people “managed” with compassion. I have worked with homeless people in California! I can tell you that what never helps anything, is having the cops come force people to move and abandon their meagre belongings. It is a fascist impulse to sic the cops on homeless people. Not only is it cruel, but it is also pointless. The cops that have to do it don’t even believe it helps anything. They just shuffle them around from place to place.



  • Look, asshole, based on my experience living in California. Based on my ability to read newspapers with a critical eye. “Oh, well yes they are going to use police to sweep homeless encampments, but don’t worry, it will be paired with housing and supportive services!” Do you know how long it takes to build the kind of infrastructure that second part requires? Newsom can’t simply snap housing and rehab slots into existence, but he can snap police raids into existence, so that’s what he’ll do.
