"I think housing is a human right, but there’s a corresponding obligation to use it," said State Senator Catherine Blakespear.
She hosted the summit for a second year, which included different panels on addressing the crisis.
"People should not be able to live in public spaces or wherever they want. We’ve gotten to the point where we’re tolerating it and it’s become normalized," she added.
Mayor Todd Gloria took part in the summit. He told CBS 8 the governor's order aligns with what's already happening in San Diego under the city's encampment ban.

24 billion dollars to have more homeless

Everything Newsom does or approves makes the problem worse just stop already and reverse everything he has done

Growing homelessness is probably because of the cost of housing so people are forced to live on the street what have you done to yourselves and if those in state and local government are so great how could this happened especially when it's not going on in other states

Help the mentally ill and those who are honestly trying to get out of homelessness. The rest might complain, balk, etc. But it's part of the lifestyle to get the "move along" hint. Its called getting the bums rush. Get out. I'm in recovery so I can tell you those 'encampments' are awful.

$24 BILLION dollar BAND-AID. This will do NOTHING to address why people are homeless. Just an attempt to look like he is doing something.
