    What the fuck, I did not see that one coming. I’m in the central valley, can a SoCal person catch me up here? Is LA actually getting shit done on homelessness?

      In the SF Bay Area they are jumping on the chance to take advantage of this new scotus ruling. So I’m a bit surprised LA is not.

        Yeah, I saw that. So many news pieces where cities are all “we’re showing our homeless people how much we love and support them by tearing down their shelter, throwing away everything, and telling them to get fucking lost. Because it’s really all about neighborly love and supporting one another at the end of the day, you know.”

          On the one hand, I kind of don’t blame them. I mean something has to be done. OTOH it’s interesting to see Newsom and Breed so quick to embrace such a ruling from the current Supreme Court. And now it’s also interesting to hear that LA is not going down this route.

      No, LA isn’t getting anything done. Not clearing encampments of likely less a humanitarian decision and more of a “let’s keep doing nothing” decision
