Newsom Asks Cities to Ban Homeless Encampments, Escalating Crackdown

https://ift.tt/fORC2gs

Governor Newsom is proposing a new crackdown on homeless encampments. This surprising move...challenges traditional liberal approaches to homelessness. Is this a shift in policy, or a reflection of public frustration?

Governor Newsom, once a vocal critic of the Trump administration, is now advocating for an ordinance banning homeless encampments on public property. This model ordinance, while not specifying criminal penalties, empowers local cities to decide how to enforce the ban. The guidance, however, suggests that criminal punishment should not be applied to those without alternative housing. This policy shift reflects increasing frustration with the growing homeless problem in California, despite a recent decline in some categories of homelessness. California’s homeless population, still the nation's largest, saw a smaller increase in 2024 than the national average, yet encampments remain a significant problem across the state, especially in Southern California and the Bay Area. The new policy aims to address the public frustration, but will it effectively resolve the complex issue of homelessness? Local cities will now have more discretion in how they handle this challenging situation.
