The announcement follows Newsom’s 2024 executive order, which directed encampment cleanups after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling granted state and local governments more authority to remove them.

200M spent on alligator Auschwitz and an estimated 450M annual operating cost.

Some googling tells me that an apartment building can cost about 200k/unit (I suspect it could be less). That's 1000 units. And then imagine what would happen if you put that yearly operating cost into healthcare and other social programs.

They want to build 1000 concentration camps. Florida is working on their second. Texas has one. Other states will certainly follow.

Maybe Newsom should be building homes instead of division.

they are already closing the concentration camp, due to how poorly managed its run.

California spends over $50k per homeless person per year.

How has homelessness only grown?

Because of double dipping and lack of oversight.

One homeless person goes and gets welfare from one place and then another day goes elsewhere. Both places claim them for a period even though they may only actually be going to one place a day.

If California actually wanted to end homelessness, they could, but then the NGOs and administrators couldn't profit off homelessness.

California is performative in altruisms and they will never accomplish anything of value on progressive values if they can't use it to give money to wealthy people.

Depending on quality you can make studio apartments, similar to hotel rooms, for close to $50k per unit.

He's been abusive to the homeless since his time as mayor of SF.
