  • That lady is out of a job no more homeless advocating your six figure job is gone.

    I have great respect for the men and women that are tasked to clean up these encampments. These guys need respirators and not just the simple face masks that they’re wearing. Not just for the bad smells from human waste, rotting food, etc…but from inhaling dangerous drugs as well.
  • I’m sorry, but trash is not property. The fact that you sue the cities over this shows you are the problem and not the politician.
  • @phk121
    “We have invested” No The taxpayer funded.
  • Trust me the people that say this is no way to treat our homeless neighbors.... Have no homeless neighbors
  • Jeniffer if you're not going to be housing any homeless people, I don't think you have room to talk. I'm tired of cleaning up dirty needles in front of my house and the Police don't do anything about it
  • Rebuild the State mental institutions. This is what happens when you shut down the mental hospitals and detox programs. Have county jail drug programs. Get these people OFF the streets.
  • @chowfun1976
    California seriously needs to bring back mental institutions. So many on the streets need involuntary institutionalization.

    What happened to the 27 billion for homelessness?
  • It’s about time. This has gone for too long. California residence has been subjected to this insanity for too long.
  • He is not doing anything. If not for the supreme court decision he would not be attempting anything.
  • @striker44
    Mayors and Governers should be paid minimum wage for their jobs.
  • How about lower property taxes so rentting a crappy studio apartment doesn't cost $2500 a month when realtors want you to make 3 times the rent. Yeah those low skill restaurant workers really gonna make $7500 a month to be able to have anything. This is so gross.
  • It’s an embarrassment that this was allowed to grow to this size. Nothing but a despicable lack of leadership and policy.
  • @AbelSFR
    It’s an election year. Very typical.

    Just last night a homeless man set a dumpter fire right next to a airgas company and next to it is pediatric facility. These homeless need to go somewhere else
