You want people living in disease and squalor instead of getting treatment and boarding :(

They're not getting the treatment and boarding either you nitwit
Of course they are offered treatment They have the right to refuse and don’t like being searched for drugs. So they end up back on the street. They need an ultimatum that they don’t have the right to be a public health risk spreading TB and plague and creating sexual abuse tent communities.
They aren't offered treatment, where are you hallucinating that they are all offered (and properly given if accepted) treatment?
250,000 transition beds in California. If people refuse to stay because they are suffering addiction or severe mental illness then they need 5150.
5150 literally requires people in power to grant beds, love There is no guarantee of one whatsoever
Pronouns and “love”. Dude try to stop making me sick. Anyway, we have beds. They choose to leave because they’re addicts. No more tolerance for encampments because it’s a public health and safety disaster.
oh your just a sick and evil person huh your ass is going straight to hell you sick loser i hope you receive the same empathy you show to people struggling with addiction or being homeless
Blah blah blah
Oh, is someone giving them treatment and housing? Where would that be, pray tell?
California has 250,000 transition beds
How many are in LA? How many are already occupied? More to the point, how does destroying the very few belongings anyone has left in any way alleviate homelessness? How does chasing them out help?
You are idealizing freeway median tent encampments 💀
??? 🤨 No, I'm idealizing not throwing people's stuff away. How many people who are "cleared" in these "sweeps" actually get into any kind of shelter? Got any numbers on that?
What stuff man. There are social workers on site to make sure they take anything important like documents or prized possessions. What else is there? The social workers are there to help them get into transition housing or the hospital. Why do you think social workers are there to do harm???
Are there? I have yet to see an article that said that, so how am I to know? If there are, that's excellent; they should be. But every image you see is just stood getting shoveled into trash bags; a lot of people have reported having important papers, medications, or personal possessions trashed.
I'm not saying that emcampments are great, and that's a very weird assumption to take from what I am saying. Transition beds are a help, but there also needs to be affordable permanent housing; imo there needs to be less Air BnB; there needs to be rent control, there needs to be a lot of changes.
From last summer: "KTLA spoke with Jeff Levine, ... director of Long Beach Rescue Mission, a organization that provides services to unhoused individuals, and Dr. Margot Kushel, ... director at Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative at the University of California, San Francisco. (1/3)
“What we know from homelessness displacement or sweeps is that it does a fair amount of harm and disconnects the people from service providers. It removes people from their belongings, which includes sentimental things like people’s pictures of their families, medications and people’s documents, 2/3
go away
I don't. But just moving them to be less out of site won't help anyone. Forcing them to move when they have no options. Unless he directly gives them a home, Newsom is just making people suffer for no reason.
richest fucking state in the richest fucking country and the entire political system is oriented to pointless cruelty
Except Newsom is never going to do anything for the homeless besides send his brown shirts to beat them
So stupid. Listen to yourself. Lmao. We have built thousands and thousands of housing units, trained treatment personnel, created transition programs and drug treatment.
So if you’re doing all that when do you need a Freikorp to go around bashing in the heads of the homeless and forcing them to flee to the outskirts of society?
Psychobabble
Maybe if Newsom funded education properly you wouldn’t be ranked 45th for schools and you’d be able to read easy sentences
That’s a lie. California is in the middle of the pack. Usually ranking in the about 25.
