I wonder the same thing. A lot of the commenters seem to have read the headline alone, and assumed that the story is about Newsom trying to exile or jail homeless people, but that’s not what the article says. A few important points:
an executive order Thursday to direct state agencies on how to remove homeless encampments
The order makes clear that the decision to remove the encampments remains in local hands.
Newsom has worked hard to address the issue. He threw all of his political weight behind a ballot measure earlier this year to allow the state to borrow nearly $6.4 billion to build 4,350 housing units, which passed with a razor-thin margin.
California’s western slopes of the Sierra Nevada is full of elitist, entitled neoliberals. There’s another decent concentration of them around Mt. St. Helens.
While I’ve found pockets of all sorts of cultures all over the US, this is a special brand of asshole seemingly found only on the west (wet) side of the Sierra Nevada.

You’re coming across so passionate it becomes aggressive. I’m not faulting you as I think such a presentation is valuable (and do the same myself sometimes). I just want you to know.
Somehow they reduced the cost of this single restroom from $1.7M to $425k after people drew attention to it. Where do you think that extra $1.3M was going?

That’s 1.5million per unit?
WTF sort “affordable” housing are these clown building
When are we going admit that most of this money goes into corruption?
I suspect land value is the cost?
Median sale price for Cali is 735k, that includes the land.
So we should getting closer to 10k house from this money.
WTF is going on
Land value in major metro areas is probably a lot more.
Lol… Median price is los angleles is 1 million.
That means half are sold under that price
House price inherently includes land value in it.
I don’t understand what point you are trying to make about land value.
A single housing unit might cost 5m due to it being in dtla. $ per housing unit isn’t a good metric to go by in California.
WTF… No wonder the state has so many homeless people. And I doubt this will ever gets fixed if this how people who run shot think lol
