They are offering them homes right?.. right??
Gavin you need to provide them some place to go!
Agree 100%. Look up the “housing first model” and donate to non profits that do this:
Far too many states handle homelessness very poorly.
They got the hottest desert or the ocean. Reminds me, if you’re homeless and were not homeless before, where did you live?
The most plausible answer is that you were a regular person living a regular life as a regular citizen. But hey, can’t pay to live somewhere? Fuck you! You’re out right?
And that folks is who these homeless people are…it’s you all in the future.
This country would have shanty towns like Africa if we allowed people to build and keep them. We dont even give then that dignity here
He’s really trying to get the VP nod, huh?
He’s trying but having POTUS and VP both from California? Conservatives would lose their minds.
That’s not stopping him from trying.
I’m not a conservative but for a national figurehead, stacking them up based on one state is poor strategy.
That is not going to happen
He can’t be Harris’s VP. Two people from the same state can run on the same ticket but electors for the electorial college can’t vote for two people from the same state as the elector. That means that no elector from California could vote for a Harris/Newsom ticket. Democrats cannot win in the electorial college without California.
Apparently the piece of shit was a Republican all along.

The article noticeably omits any mention of housing waiting to receive these people, leading me to believe there is none.
They talk nicer, but in reality
Personal possessions, including medicines and necessary medical devices, are routinely thrown away. It’s a quotidian event that Leilani Farha, the United Nations special rapporteur on adequate housing, described as a “cruelty” that she hasn’t seen in other impoverished corners of the world.
“'The idea that a government would deny people those services … when they have nowhere else to go suggests a kind of cruelty that is unsurpassed,” Farha told Business Insider. “It’s an attempt to erase people. Worse than erase — I can only use the word annihilate. It is a denial of someone’s humanity.'”
…
Under international human rights law, governments are required “to apply the maximum of available resources to upgrading informal settlements” like slums, shanty towns, and homeless encampments.
“The struggle in the south is to legalize and regularize encampments,” she said. “Here, the struggle is simply to be able to create an encampment. In the south, there’s sort of a blind eye that has turned. Once an informal settlement is created, it’s established. Whereas here, they can’t create them.”
In the Bay Area, Farha talked to many people who were temporarily living in an encampment before they were ordered to move by city officials during a “tent sweep.”
“It’s damaging because they always have to move,” she says. “They’re treated like nonentities. Sometimes they say (belongings are) put in storage, but more often they’ll dump everyone’s possessions into one Dumpster. It’s horrible. It’s not dignified. The people have nowhere to go. It’s illogical. It’s tragic.”
Nice words don’t change the fact that we’re violating international law and abusing vulnerable people, they actually make it a lot worse because a lot more people would recognize what we’re doing and be horrified if moderate Dems didn’t do this propagandizing bullshit.

I remember when he was mayor. He was a walking scandal who used women and treated his job like it was owed to him. He rode the success of Willie Brown and grew up with money so he has no idea what hard work actually is. The worst part is that he’s the old money part of California that votes blue but is waiting for their Sinema Moment to sell out to a big enough paycheck. He’s always been a secret conservative.
He’s one of Pelosi’s acolytes, so yeah, just another right-wing democrat.
Correct…
Gavin Newsom’s keeping it all in the family
