And libs wanted this guy for POTUS?
Over 180,000 unhoused people in California. How many of those booted from encampments will get a shelter bed, let alone permanent affordable housing?
Tommy Seiler: "The lesser of two evils, indeed. If you look at the massive 'homeless budget' of CA, you will find only a small fraction goes to building units. Of course. The top rungs of the Dem party are controlled by real estate speculators, and big finance scum. They are not going to build say 40,000 or so units, to try and replace the ONE MILLION that have been lost in just ten years in CA. That would be competition for the rich landlords and their rising rents, and evictions to convert etc. So when he says, in another article, "this is to put pressure on the cities to do their job", he knows damn well cities DO NOT have the money to build tons of affordable units. cites have NEVER had that money. It always was mostly fed and state money. So here you go....the ruling opens up , even though it was legal to sweep before note that, tickets and jailing of homelessness. LA is such bad shape. My god. "There were still 45,253 homeless people counted in the city and 75,312 people unhoused in the county, the authority reported."

But, always remember that in California politics, the Republicans have, despite terrible results since Schwarzenegger, never moved to the center. Even with the obvious note that Schwarzenegger did not mess with all the things, like culture wars, that the current GOP emphasizes. Thus we vote in Democrats who disappoint over the troglodytes.
