Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Bass, whose first act after taking the oath of office as Los Angeles’s mayor in December 2022 was to declare a state of emergency on homelessness, has claimed Newsom’s efforts to clean up the streets won’t work in her city.
The clearing of encampments has largely been a partisan issue across the country, with Democrats uncomfortable kicking homeless people off the streets and Republicans, citing public safety concerns, pushing for citations and arrests. The feud escalated after a Supreme Court decision last month gave local officials more power to crack down on those living on the streets and in public parks.
“I want to be crystal clear,” she added. “The criminalization of homelessness and poverty is dangerous. It does not work, and it will not stand in Los Angeles County.” Newsom’s executive order will affect thousands of people in his state, which has the highest housing costs and the highest number of homeless people in the country. Last year, 180,000 people were homeless. About 123,000 Californians were unsheltered on any given night, according to a recent count.“The City of Los Angeles must reject Governor Newsom’s inhumane, unproven policy,” Kenneth Mejia, the Los Angeles city controller, said in a statement.
