This is really sad. Moving people from their home in the middle of the night without having permanent housing to offer them is criminal!

Is Sally Pipes of Forbes out to get Gavin Newsom?
This writer offers the most amazingly pinhead views. Prisoners were released from overcrowded prisons because imprisonment should not be a death sentence!
Forbes writes: “The economic devastation caused in part by his lockdowns has scarred the state. Between 2019 and 2020, California saw a 6.8% increase in homelessness, according to a report released by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. At the time of the study, more than half of the homeless population of the United States lived in California.”
“Newsom’s policies put people on the street without alleviating the impact of the pandemic. And judging by his own behavior, his precautions were purely performative.”
Between 2019 and 2020, there was no pandemic, and Newsom can not be responsible for this: corporate capitalism is!
John Cox to compare the unhoused to garbage!
This is truly disgusting!
SFGate writes:
The other two points will likely draw strong pushback from community activists and certain city leaders. One calls for requiring homeless individuals to receive addiction or mental health treatment before housing is provided, and the other calls for increased law enforcement crackdowns.
Then there is the implied comparison with the the pile of garbage:
Cox will not be joined by the bear again, but rather an “an 8-foot ball of garbage.”
Great Documentary on Homelessness in Newsom’s California

Great documentary on the homeless situation. Thanks to Rose Aguilar for bringing this to our attention. As you know, Newsom capitalized on the unhoused — creating political capital while cutting services — as Mayor of San Francisco.
