Homeless encampment of course. They start fires in our grasslands and pollute the waterways with their filth but mention relocating them to somewhere industrialized to get help and treatment and that’s inhumane? Yea sleeping in tents and shanty towns under freeways is the humane thing to do. Californians are done with the disgusting homeless.
40 billion dollars to Ukraine, and more coming, and we are not helping our own in California. We need more mental institutions and rehab centers, and think of our own first. Our governor said, when he ran for mayor, he would clean up the homelessness in San Francisco, now that he is governor we have the same old same old. It is crazy.
