On May 12, California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, demanded that cities throughout the state adopt anti-camping ordinances that would effectively ban public homelessness by requiring unhoused individuals to relocate every 72 hours.
While presented as a humanitarian effort to reduce homelessness, the new policy victimizes California’s growing unhoused population—approximately 187,000 people—by tying funding in Proposition 1 to local laws banning sleeping or camping on public land.
In his announcement, Newsom pushed local governments to adopt the draconian ordinances “without delay.”
It would literally just be a lot of land
Even that is too much, no politician in this wasteland is going to vote for a measure to establish land solely for the homeless.
None of those people would want to be known as the person who voted to establish what would doubtlessly become smeared as a ‘homeless encampment’ in their district/state.
I feel like you could retort to that “well it’s better than them camping in your local park!” But Democrats aren’t smart or brave enough for that.
Regardless, I wouldn’t trust the US to implement something like this in any sort or humane or effective way.
