    It’s so maddening to know that the social ill of “home/house-lessness” is a thing in California when they have like 9485 zillion empty houses right now. It may not be a “perfect solution” but goddamn, just put these people into places where they can at least have four walls and a roof.

      Double the property taxes on vacant properties every week and homelessness will be over before summer is.

          Exemptions will only be provided when property owners are subject to the same dehumanization and mistrust that people applying for disability and unemployment get. “Hmm, but how hard have you really tried to fill the vacancy? We need signed testimonials from every unhoused person you offered it to who declined.”

    were any counties/cities not going to do this and he’s bringing in staties to execute it over their heads or is this rubberstamping and authorizing staties to help what municipal ghouls were going to do anyway?

      Local governments have been doing this for years, like when Paradise burned down and a lot of the residents had nowhere to go, so they set up tents outside of Chico. The cops were sent in to beat the shit out of them and tear it down for the crime of infringing on the city councils ballooning real estate portfolios.

      This is rubber-stamping and probably providing them a set of guidelines that will protect the municipalities from suffering the legal blowback.

      Amazing how the articles are portraying his ballot proposition as one to build housing when that was a very small part of it, the majority of the funds are to build forced addiction treatment centers.

      We literally could just build some housing, or better yet force landlords to use their vacant properties but no we gotta police the homeless and force them into treatment

    "Our city encampment teams and street outreach staff have been going out every day to bring people indoors, and to clean and clear encampments,” spokesperson Parisa Safarzadeh told CNN in a statement.

      Parable of the Sower is wild because she wrote it in the 90s and half of it is just how california actually is now and the rest will probably happen in less than 10 years.

        For those not familiar with Trek canon, the fictional 21st century was a cavalcade of horrors, each worse than the last.

        And somehow reality is shaping up to be worse.
