Several California cities are cracking down on homeless encampments, defying the whims of homeless “advocates” whose practices make sure encampments are blossoming all across their cities.
After the Supreme Court allowed localities to ban homeless encampments in public areas, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) ordered cities across the state to begin clearing encampments. Newsom even threatened the state funds going to cities that refused to clear encampments. While Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Los Angeles Democrats have decided they want to fight this and allow their encampments to continue, other major cities in California have cracked down. That list includes San Francisco (the fourth largest city in California), Fresno (the fifth largest), and Oakland (the eighth largest).
