Look at the disgusting mess they create . For being homeless in a city area that’s got garbage cans nearby. Do you think they clean up after themselves at least try to be a respectable citizen even though you’re homeless .
The little tent camp near my grocery store is never messy. The fellows living there are diligent about carrying their trash to the nearby dumpsters. They don't want to live in squalor, nor throw a bunch of trash around for other people to look at. It's a group of veterans who look out for each other; they're very interesting to speak with, and it's important to them to maintain as much dignity and decency as they can.
I just visited California. Mostly it was beautiful. Except these gross encampments and any public bathrooms are just destroyed by junkies. It is disgusting.
I live in Fairbanks, AK and we just went down to Anchorage for vaca. It was terrible and full of homeless encampments. I was actually happy to return to my little town in the middle of nowhere alaska😂
“Where are we supposed to go?” Why is it my job to work hard, save, plan, so that I have a place to live, then I’m supposed to also do it for you? A drugged up, lazy, simple-minded, partier? Fix your own stupid problem like the rest of us.
Best thing i've read all day. We make the right decisions in life and get punished for it. You know like going work, living beneath our means, paying our taxes and saving for a rainy day. But you can be a burnout and get free housing, free medical, free cell phone etc etc etc and it's not their fault. Well I'm sick and tired of working my ass off to pay for lazy ass people that take full advantage of the system. Liberalism is a mental disorder. California you suck!
Quit sending money to other countries, start building low income housing that would help. I'm disabled and get $941 a month. Can't even find a room to rent.
In most places that’s not enough for a week. It’s so sad. Even people in their own RV’s are at risk. I understand the encampments looks like a hot mess, but bouncing people around will not help the crisis. Those with drug and mental health issues have to be helped differently from those that can’t afford housing. It’s the worst feeling not being able to have a place of your own. Being homeless leaves a person feeling hopeless and depressed. People that have never been in that situation will stick up their nose , and type disgusting comments, like they know what it’s like. I am homeless but I don’t feel any better because I’m not living in a tent. I understand the hopelessness,being told I am a burden, and being judged. I am not on drugs, I am full time college student, and I just got a full time job. That doesn’t matter. We are from different walks of life, but are in the same boat. I am sorry you are going through this and it isn’t right. I hope you get the help you need soon. God bless.❤
Preach! This is what happens when you privatize mental health. There’s almost no public mental health infrastructure. No treatment facilities. No reform. Send some trainees overseas to Europe and see how they handle homelessness and junkies. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel, and there’s no need to act ignorant of any solutions.
Mental health reform? I work for a non-profit who literally drives to get folks from encampments into our program - for all kinds of services. Most, if not all, are on drugs, and most, if not all refuse treatment.
You got to understand these non-government organizations are the ones behind promoting the homelessness because they get millions of dollars every year from federal government for their scam of enabling homeless people to be better homeless people and drug addicts cut off the money for the ngos problem solved
@@lindapindabelinda3570 EVERYONE has a right to housing tho! Newsom created this mess and now something is going on so he's doing some CYA! San Francisco is a hell hole full of addicts ODing. He doesn't care about human beings and yes the homeless ARE HUMAN BEINGS. California needs to be audited and so does every nonprofit that was granted funds. Counties start stupid programs like housing counseling. That means nothing to a homeless person bc they don't have a home to manage. They create a program and funnel the money from it to pay for other programs and raises for CEO’s. There should have been enough money to build shelters or set up a tent city that's safe and social workers can get to the people to help them. Try not to lose your humanity by degrading another human being. I've been homeless several times and believe me it wasn't by choice and it sucked bad. People treat you like crap. Its not just addicts out there, there's families homeless bc the rent is too high in California.
@@FucU4everYou live in a society. By your logic, if I don’t like a sidewalk, I can just tear it out. By law cities can make rules. Why don’t you have a vote on how many citizens want to make it legal to block sidewalks? I bet that will pass with flying colors. I bet there are a lot of rules of society that they enjoy. Or they wouldn’t even live in busy areas like that.
@@RaggedyHobo Go ahead and make it illegal. What are you going to do? Fine them? Jail them? You think either of those will help somebody get out of homelessness? Think man you were given a brain, it's time to use it.
@@kevinsouza7744 It is illegal already in most places to block the public right of way. In a lot of places it is illegal to block storefronts. Why would you choose a busy sidewalk? I’m not even saying how common it is. In my city they don’t camp on sidewalks. But we have a lot of homeless people in the parks. Being a hoarder really isn’t that compatible with being homeless either. Whether you are homeless or not. If you go around being anti social, breaking city ordinances. Yeah you will eventually have to deal with cops. That’s the way it is. It’s not the way I make it.

That was my first thought when I heard this report. I agree. If he doesn't address this he'll have way too much baggage in '28. Unfortunately, it appears some of this "clean up" includes simple relocating and passing the problem to someone else. He's not fixing anything. As this has proliferated across California, the only thing I can think of is massive corruption where politicians are stealing money meant for communities.
Did you happen to see a yt vid a couple years ago where an official receiver of funds for homeless management needed $60,000 annually to maintain ONE homeless person in a tent????
No they would not be millionaires they would blow it all on drugs. You cannot give a bunch of homeless drug addicts and mentally ill people Alot of money and think it will change something. All they will do is kill themselves with a lot of money. Money does NOT fix drug addicts and mentally ill. WAKE UP!
It is. Charities are not only tax free, but they funnel billions of dollars with zero oversight if you have friends in the government. And if your org gets busted, you just file for a new one.
Bus unhoused people out of the city?!? To where?!? Places like Nashville? Seems we are gaining a ton more homeless! All your residents are moving here/. We don’t need all your homeless as well Newsom!
The problem is that most of the homeless people on the streets are mentally ill or drug-addicted and behave strangely. When I was in Europe, the homeless were actually reading books while sleeping on the street. In San Francisco, they mainly use drugs and act like zombies.
Don't forget the hit job that Corporate Realty pulled by swallowing up all single family homes and rentals...making them unaffordable whereby squeezing families out of their residences. Wish we had a true assessment of the categories these fellow Americans fall into.
Not true! The majority of homeless are now senior citizens who can't afford housing on their social security! Check your facts before you make such uninformed statements.
@@maggiegeorge5146 then why is it exclusively a problem in the USA? Unfortunately, far too many people become addicts and lose everything. It’s easy to tell they are addicts because their thought processes are so scrambled. My MiL used to be just fine for years. Then when she was in her early 60s she started smoking pot, drinking a lot of alcohol and doing some other illegal drugs. It’s almost impossible to hold a conversation with her now. If not for family I’m sure she would be living in a tent.
Our country is so sad that we give away our tax money to other countries. Instead of helping our homeless US citizens. Every time I see or hear about homeless people in the USA I feel ashamed towards our government. 😢
It would be simple if human beings were trash, but that's not the case. Bulldozing their tents and other meager belongings isn't going to help anyone until Gavin and city leaders can provide places for them to go. health services, job training, childcare and so forth.
They will always find alternative routs for drug trafficking. Right now drones are a big problem. Treat the problem ie. Mental health and addiction and you will make a much bigger impact. Simple supply and demand
@chrish2044 drones are literally flying drugs across the southern and northern border daily. Do some real research or maybe visit the border and find out for yourself. Speak to a boarder agent. Don't make uneducated claims. Sure, people are smuggling drugs across the border. That's absolutely a problem, but there are also a lot of asylum seeking good people (many with children) who should be able to cross, be legally documented, and helped. Just like our ancestors did many years ago!
Been a homeless vet for 7 months and I can tell you The shelters are full. 211 is a joke. Afordable housing doesn't really exit. The rents are extremely high. There is no help for the mentally ill or drug addicted. So where are the homeless supposed to go?
Sad day in American homeless vets !! But giving all these people breaking the law free everything !! Our government is messed up !! Pray we clean the White House OUT !!!!!! Evil. For power not for Americans
@@charleshetrick3152yes many people, not just homeless and low income, cannot afford tl live in California. Many middle class people are leaving for more affordable states.
What happened to the 26 billion dollars for the homeless? We just approved a bound this for affordable housing and now they want another bound in November when will it stop!!!
As the gentleman said in this segment, affordable housing IS the solution. Section 8 has been closed down for years. Yet Area housing Authority has a similar program, yet there’s currently not enough resources. Thousands of low income units Need to be built ASAP if Newsom is serious about addressing this situation. Shelters are a temporary place and many people don’t feel safe going to them, so we have all these orders but they’re not going to change anything unless people have a legitimate and dignified place to go. That’s really the bottom line here. People aren’t criminals for being homeless.
A 73 year old friend of mine stayed in a warming shelter at a church at state st and Micheltorena in Santa Barbara, Ca. on a cold, rainy night and she got head lice! 😡
Section 8 is active, but there's a long waiting list. A couple things they could do immediately would be to outlaw Air B&B and impose rent control statewide. On a national level, Congress could pass a law stating that tax breaks for home purchases only be applied to one house at a time per family. Incentivizing house flipping is ridiculous, and only drives up prices to stupid high levels that a lot of folks simply can't afford.
@@nancymcmonarch so it’s important to understand that section 8 itself has been completely shut down in certain areas like it’s non existent for many years, waiting lists closed and shut down = a non existent service. So it can be said that it’s “active” but if something is closed and shut down for years upon years you know people who have approached it and it’s always been a closed down system is how it comes across now maybe that’s like what your saying with the waiting list but it’s not an active system if people aren’t even able to get on a list, that’s all that I’m articulating here. It’s obviously a broken system.
Landlord’s have got to stop raising rents 100 each year, that’s part of what is making people homeless pay checks are not keeping up with inflation, high cost of car insurance, food, grocery, it’s really hard to make it in this world, feel sorry for the next generation, they have nothing to hope for.
Finally!!!! The absolute truth!!! It used to take two incomes for one family to survive & thrive. Now, you need both parents working, help from 'government assistance' (they only decide who gets what, the people inside our gov. don't actually pay in), a roommate or two and a whole lot of faith and hope that things will fall into place.
However if your not from this country you get free housing ,money, health insurance, education instead of helping Americans,a dog or a cat has more humane rights to sleep outside instead of humans 👍
Gavin's term doesn't end until 2027, and he can't even run again in 2026 because like US presidents, our governors can only serve for two terms (eight years max).
So, according to homeless advocates, the state is supposed to allow the unhoused to continue living in dangerous and unsanitary conditions until there is enough accommodations to house everyone? Even if a miracle happened and they could get everyone off the streets of Cali in 6 months, the public cannot wait that long, something has to be done now! And what about the those who say they don't want services? What are the advocates saying should be done with these folks? Allow them to stay on the streets until they're ready good and ready to receive assistance? Homeless advocates aren't offering any real solutions except repeating "more housing is needed." What about businesses that are closing their doors because no one wants to walk through encampments to shop or eat...are the advocates going to pay that business owner's rent/mortgage, take care of his/her family or help laid off employees find new jobs when the business has to close due to low or no customer foot traffic? The advocates need to come up with viable alternatives if they don't agree with what's being done. The "we need more housing" doesn't address the crises that is happening here and now.
geez, you nailed it. one could not stand on a street corner scream out racist or hate language, they'll find themselves in jail, the same 'must' now happen to the enablers, or advocates, as they have been deemed at least half the reason bums squat on public property. doing what's necessary to 'outlaw' their enabling probably will not happen in Cali, or other states that are run by leftists and democrats, but it 'can' be done in 'common sense' states. there's no singular solution to the proliferation of bums, perhaps 'most' of their issues will begin to vanish with JOB, in the meantime halting the enabling will be seen as a big leap forward...
yes you need to get people off the street, into rehab, counseling, hospital, and also get them housing and a job and additional therapy. These are very costly projects. Shoving them from one city to the next just moves the issue
This country is heading towards all the things happening for years in California. Many more millions of people that crossed the border here now with housing being provided by the government
More homes for folks the can't afford anything except their next fix after they rob some store. They have let their lives fall so low that there is NO WAY up unless they are forced into treatment.
Can you imagine they think government obligate to take care of them ... stated a tall healthy, capable to work, homeless adult, I met. Government make up of people who pay taxes to the Funds! If you choose not to be part of society, you need to be self sufficient. There's a limit to time, how long and $ for help, that's my opinion.
Gotta love this happening only in election years. Remember when police officers were there to ‘keep the peace’ and no one was allowed to have disorderly conduct or public drunkenness? Society has sunk.

I am a veteran who has been homeless at least 34+ years since I was discharged from the military. I tired of hearing people about supporting the veterans. Most people are not aware that a large portion of the homeless are veterans who not a fault of there own end up homeless. I have meet more than my fare share of homeless veterans due to PTSD and other mental health issues. To coup they turn to drugs and alcohol for a escape. It ends up in a endless cycle for them. Many times they will get the veterans housing only having the veterans back on the streets in no time. You just don't throw them in housing excepting them to what to next. They need to follow up with those veterans on a bi-weekly based. Or if they need more counseling and therapeutic help give it to them. And keep following up with them for how ever long it takes. People must not forget that those veterans put their lives on hold to serve Our Great Nation only to have this nation turn their backs on them. Some veterans will need very little help to turn their lives around while others may never be able to adjust their lives. It all depends on their mental or medical health issues. Believe me as I have been there and done that.🇺🇲✌️🕊️☮️ Peace and Love from A Proud Viet Nam Era Veteran 🇺🇲 🪖 age 72 homeless and living on the streets of Sunny Southern California.

@@quinnsmith2955 _here's a new idea why don't we build some housing projects_ How is that new? It's always failed because the problem is that people don't want what the solution requires; rules. But hey, keep taking money from the wealthy and using it on measures guaranteed to fail. The very thought process behind that creates the optimal environment for homelessness to thrive.
If you let people camp out in public spaces, then they’re going to do it. Don’t allow it and they’ll have to go into shelters and accept services. It’s ridiculous and insane.
Perhaps build safe shelters then. Have the physically capable tenants contribute their service to the shelter's maintenance and management in lieu of payment (to reduce costs). Build their self-esteem,sense of community and a path back to employment.
@@mick8888V The vast majority of homeless are mentally ill or addicted. There’s no way you’re going to build self-esteem and a path to employment. These people have to be forced into shelters and off the streets. But then you get into a civil rights issue which has been the problem all along.
@@ritatharp5238 my understanding from drug addicts that get clean and find there way back to contributing members of society is that they're like mini prisons.

I used to teach at a school for immigrant/refugee children. (Sweetest students I've ever worked with, btw.) A LOT of immigrants are sponsored by family members or kindly host families, and they get a phenomenal amount of private support, mainly from the Catholic church. And in our city we had restaurants, bakeries, and stores donating an amazing amount of food, clothing, and other stuff to help out the kids and their families.
What an absolute hypocritical joke. Newsome created this issue with his policies and is now punishing them for taking advantage of his p9licies? Good grief.
Being homeless -- a STATUS -- is not a crime. Constitutionally a person cannot be criminalized for having merely a proscribed status. The CONSTITUTION is the test, not merely statutes.
You’re correct homelessness is not a crime. Sleeping in public areas is because it belongs to the whole public not just the homeless ones. We’ve all equal right to the sidewalk or the park’s mown grass. What’s more it’s a public health hazard to have folks doing drugs and peeing and pooping all willy nilly.

The governor should have done something to help these people long ago, these Democrats take care these illegals in our country, but not our own citizens, dont look down on these folks, except for the grace of God that could be you .
First off, thank goodness this is finally getting done. Other states have been busing their homeless into our state for a while. It’s about time we bus them out. Homeless activists are convinced that what they are doing is what the homeless population wants. Majority of them don’t want to get clean or meet the requirements to be housed. The ones that do find a way to do it. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink it
Of course the "advocates" are going to fight it!!! I'll bet 90% of the populace want to see their areas cleaned up. These encampments are drug infested and dangerous. STOP ENABLING bad behavior by allowing it. Homelessness is very sad, but we know that it has become a big-business in certain areas.
@@cruzn4ever169 actually, I don't think it's that difficult. For example, no one can fix the border crisis because there is no real desire to do so. Simple, enforce the law(s) guard the border. Deport violators. Crisis over. Same with our current homelessness. Once, they quit really enforcing the law(s) and just giving it a wink and a nod guess what it grew!!! There are not a few people that "check out" in society and say I willingly decide to not work or participate. In my area (Seattle) these people appear in documentaries stating such. People go out to bring them food they may not even want because "you brought hot dogs, well the other group bought them pizza". It's maddening. It's like removing speed limits on a highway then wondering why fatalities are up 50%!!!! Enforce laws.
No one is being punished for being unhoused. That is the stupidest thing ever. They are being punished for setting up a camp in a place where it was not acceptable.
2:20 Society didn't fail them...their mothers did not fail them....school did not fail them.....EVERY ONE rows their own boat in this life...sorry!! Stop blaming...
Housing should be a right, a right based on mandatory drug testing if you have been "homeless" have any drug or theft charges in your entire life history, at which time if you pass, you keep your home. If you fail, then you lose the home, and get sent to prison. There shouldn't be any chances for the rest of any of these druggies lives. For those of us who aren't criminal, arent druggies and don't pretend to be homeless - we would be able to remain in homes. We have a chance to fall from grace and recover. If you fell once, you shouldn't have a second chance to get back up. You didn't learn the first time to not do it in the first place. So yes, I think housing is a right, but that right is based on being a contributing member of the society that makes that housing happen. Criminals need not apply, they should NEVER be guaranteed anything since they steal from us.
@@celebrityrog while I LOVE your perspective, there would be no way for the economy to function if the government did that. For example, they “sort of” do that where I’m from: new york city, however public housing is full of crime and homeless shelters are like insane asylums but much worse. So basically the government is saying: “we will give you housing but we can’t make it nice because people actually work and go to fancy schools in order to get nice housing”.
Probably has not occurred to you that it is just reality that some percentage of people will ALWAYS need help. That's just how it is. There are people with chronic illness, with mental illness and yes, in fact, some who just have very low IQs or emotional IQs and they cannot make it in this system as it is. And we will either make it so they have help and avoid hellscapes like Skid Row, the Tenderloin/Civic Center/East Oakland/(and on and on) or we won't help them, and we will allow them. Personally, given that some people need help, it is better to help them. Working people everywhere already give billions to the super-rich. Turn that shit around and get that wealth that we are all working to create, and share it with people who need it.
@@ProJoe-xb5ie oh ok yeah new york city isn’t like that. We have a huge population of people that aren’t interested in working. They live in public housing and homeless shelters

@@tomgrimm1141 yes, we do, historically. But it's clearly not a solution. And it ignores the underlying problems, of which the most prominent is drug addiction.

Mental health reform? I work for a non-profit who literally drives to get folks from encampments into our program - for all kinds of services. Most, if not all, are on drugs, and most, if not all refuse treatment.
Thats easy, stop calling drug addiction a mental health issue and put a stop to the flow of drugs by ANY MEANS NECCESARY.
By enabling homelessness, we made the problem too big to deal with. We reap what we sow.
You got to understand these non-government organizations are the ones behind promoting the homelessness because they get millions of dollars every year from federal government for their scam of enabling homeless people to be better homeless people and drug addicts cut off the money for the ngos problem solved
So true!
Well calculated. ;)
You never know what life might bring to you... Maybe we should all think about that.
I’m looking to achieve homelessness in California. Sounds pretty sweet!
We just gonna act like Batman wasn’t there?
For a second, I thought no one else noticed him.
Been a long while since his last film. He's struggling to get by.
I scrolled through comments only to see if someone else noticed and my buzz wasn’t playing tricks on me.
😅😅😅😅 right!
Nobody has the right to block a sidewalk.
Its public property, NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL OTHERS HOW TO LIVE.
@@lindapindabelinda3570 EVERYONE has a right to housing tho! Newsom created this mess and now something is going on so he's doing some CYA! San Francisco is a hell hole full of addicts ODing. He doesn't care about human beings and yes the homeless ARE HUMAN BEINGS. California needs to be audited and so does every nonprofit that was granted funds. Counties start stupid programs like housing counseling. That means nothing to a homeless person bc they don't have a home to manage. They create a program and funnel the money from it to pay for other programs and raises for CEO’s. There should have been enough money to build shelters or set up a tent city that's safe and social workers can get to the people to help them.
Try not to lose your humanity by degrading another human being. I've been homeless several times and believe me it wasn't by choice and it sucked bad. People treat you like crap. Its not just addicts out there, there's families homeless bc the rent is too high in California.
@@FucU4everYou live in a society. By your logic, if I don’t like a sidewalk, I can just tear it out. By law cities can make rules. Why don’t you have a vote on how many citizens want to make it legal to block sidewalks? I bet that will pass with flying colors.
I bet there are a lot of rules of society that they enjoy. Or they wouldn’t even live in busy areas like that.
@@RaggedyHobo Go ahead and make it illegal. What are you going to do? Fine them? Jail them? You think either of those will help somebody get out of homelessness? Think man you were given a brain, it's time to use it.
@@kevinsouza7744 It is illegal already in most places to block the public right of way. In a lot of places it is illegal to block storefronts.
Why would you choose a busy sidewalk? I’m not even saying how common it is. In my city they don’t camp on sidewalks. But we have a lot of homeless people in the parks.
Being a hoarder really isn’t that compatible with being homeless either.
Whether you are homeless or not. If you go around being anti social, breaking city ordinances. Yeah you will eventually have to deal with cops. That’s the way it is. It’s not the way I make it.
These homeless "advocates" should house the homeless in their own homes.
Maybe that's their objective, to ensure the homeless stay "over there" and not spread out.
Advocating for squatters!! Only in California!
Advocates need them on the street to get more funds from the state.
why can't you mind your own business
they are advocates, which would appear to be what you hate about them. So are you trying sarcasm out with scare quotes, I mean you seem unclear on the concept or do you just not know what quotes are for.

Hey that 40 billion we could have helped you with and do something with? It's in Gavin's pocket now. So...get outta here. That's politcis ol' chum

50% of that reason is Due to drug addiction
Try 99.9% of the reason is due to drugs
Probably more than 50%, to be honest
most people who own homes are on drugs including alcohol
And the other 50% is Newscum
💯!! Homeless advocates will swear they are doing what’s “right” for the homeless but most of them don’t want to be helped. They’d rather live outside
Looks like newsom wants to run in '28...all this is show.
That was my first thought when I heard this report. I agree. If he doesn't address this he'll have way too much baggage in '28. Unfortunately, it appears some of this "clean up" includes simple relocating and passing the problem to someone else. He's not fixing anything. As this has proliferated across California, the only thing I can think of is massive corruption where politicians are stealing money meant for communities.
💯
took the words right out of my mouth
no he wants to have the World Cup in California and the Olympics in 2028, and wants to run for president in 2028
California might have voted Newsom in but the rest of the Country isn't stupid. Keep Newsom to yourself, California!
Legally fighting so that people can sleep on sidewalk illegally?
Put tents in government property & do drugs ?
What happened to 24 billions? If they gave these homeless that money they would be millionaires by now?

No they would not be millionaires they would blow it all on drugs. You cannot give a bunch of homeless drug addicts and mentally ill people Alot of money and think it will change something. All they will do is kill themselves with a lot of money. Money does NOT fix drug addicts and mentally ill. WAKE UP!
"Helping homeless" must be really profitable. As long as californians vote for newsome, the problem will never go away.
It is. Charities are not only tax free, but they funnel billions of dollars with zero oversight if you have friends in the government. And if your org gets busted, you just file for a new one.
Lol! You voted for Trump huh? 🤦🏽♂️
Capitalist trash
Yup, it’s all about stupid policies. California is too woke.
And you voted for baiden? 🤡
they have a bum overpopulation
One thing we should all learn which is not to donate to these non profit organizations.
Very few of these sham non-profits work on individual donations. They mostly feed at the trough of grant money from city and state.
Providing housing will end up with the housing looking like the hotel rooms used by migrants in New York.
No more grace - the meth party is over 😢
This problem needed to be addressed many, many years ago
Bus unhoused people out of the city?!? To where?!? Places like Nashville? Seems we are gaining a ton more homeless! All your residents are moving here/. We don’t need all your homeless as well Newsom!
Same thing they’ve been doing w/millions of border ppl. ;)
The future isn’t pretty.
Hope you know Jesus.♥✝
Do you seriously think California is going to bus its homeless to Nashville? What do you think it is there? Texas?
NYC has been shipping theirs South for years. New Orleans was one of their favorite dumping grounds.
The problem is that most of the homeless people on the streets are mentally ill or drug-addicted and behave strangely. When I was in Europe, the homeless were actually reading books while sleeping on the street. In San Francisco, they mainly use drugs and act like zombies.
And the two are linked. Drugs trigger mental illness
Don't forget the hit job that Corporate Realty pulled by swallowing up all single family homes and rentals...making them unaffordable whereby squeezing families out of their residences. Wish we had a true assessment of the categories these fellow Americans fall into.
Not true!
The majority of homeless are now senior citizens who can't afford housing on their social security!
Check your facts before you make such uninformed statements.
Or they became that way because they couldn't afford rent and then had nowhere to live.
@@maggiegeorge5146 then why is it exclusively a problem in the USA? Unfortunately, far too many people become addicts and lose everything. It’s easy to tell they are addicts because their thought processes are so scrambled. My MiL used to be just fine for years. Then when she was in her early 60s she started smoking pot, drinking a lot of alcohol and doing some other illegal drugs. It’s almost impossible to hold a conversation with her now. If not for family I’m sure she would be living in a tent.
Don’t give the drug addicts and alcoholics money. Why is the government so damn stupid
They are stupid is as stupid does.
Ask Newsom about stupid .....
Offer them Jail or Rehab.
Not stupid....Calculated. ;)
Wake up.
Because you let them be - Vote
Imagine if we spent the money we spent in Iraq Afghanistan and Ukraine on our own country our own infrastructure etc
You forgot Israel.
Our country is so sad that we give away our tax money to other countries. Instead of helping our homeless US citizens. Every time I see or hear about homeless people in the USA I feel ashamed towards our government. 😢
Time to clean up the streets and take back California

And remove all corrupts out of office!!
@@LeeTheVetthe elections are rigged
Vote out Democrats that allowed this to begin with!
It would be simple if human beings were trash, but that's not the case. Bulldozing their tents and other meager belongings isn't going to help anyone until Gavin and city leaders can provide places for them to go. health services, job training, childcare and so forth.
Maybe shut the southern border to stop drug trafficking? You try that yet Gavin?
They will always find alternative routs for drug trafficking. Right now drones are a big problem. Treat the problem ie. Mental health and addiction and you will make a much bigger impact. Simple supply and demand
@@StellarDistraction Drones are not a problem for jamming equipment.
Make them fly them, close the border.
@chrish2044 drones are literally flying drugs across the southern and northern border daily. Do some real research or maybe visit the border and find out for yourself. Speak to a boarder agent. Don't make uneducated claims. Sure, people are smuggling drugs across the border. That's absolutely a problem, but there are also a lot of asylum seeking good people (many with children) who should be able to cross, be legally documented, and helped. Just like our ancestors did many years ago!
These "advocates" should set the example by welcoming the homeless into their houses.
Been a homeless vet for 7 months and I can tell you
The shelters are full.
211 is a joke.
Afordable housing doesn't really exit.
The rents are extremely high.
There is no help for the mentally ill or drug addicted.
So where are the homeless supposed to go?
Serious question, why not move where rents aren’t so high and services aren’t over run?
Sad day in American homeless vets !! But giving all these people breaking the law free everything !! Our government is messed up !! Pray we clean the White House OUT !!!!!!
Evil.
For power not for Americans
@@charleshetrick3152yes many people, not just homeless and low income, cannot afford tl live in California. Many middle class people are leaving for more affordable states.
Real help would be stop giving them free money to get high and areas where they’re allowed to.
What happened to the 26 billion dollars for the homeless? We just approved a bound this for affordable housing and now they want another bound in November when will it stop!!!
Big money made exploiting others!
* bond
It's unbelievable what has happened to San Rafael
No one is talking about the drug addiction epidemic that is causing most of the homelessness!!!!
He wants to make homelessness illegal while doing absolutely nothing to regulate housing cost and short term rentals
It's unsafe on the streets for the actual residents now because of this
As the gentleman said in this segment, affordable housing IS the solution. Section 8 has been closed down for years. Yet Area housing Authority has a similar program, yet there’s currently not enough resources. Thousands of low income units Need to be built ASAP if Newsom is serious about addressing this situation. Shelters are a temporary place and many people don’t feel safe going to them, so we have all these orders but they’re not going to change anything unless people have a legitimate and dignified place to go. That’s really the bottom line here. People aren’t criminals for being homeless.
no $$$
They could have done that with the 25 billion that they stole. Now it's too late.
A 73 year old friend of mine stayed in a warming shelter at a church at state st and Micheltorena in Santa Barbara, Ca. on a cold, rainy night and she got head lice! 😡
Section 8 is active, but there's a long waiting list. A couple things they could do immediately would be to outlaw Air B&B and impose rent control statewide. On a national level, Congress could pass a law stating that tax breaks for home purchases only be applied to one house at a time per family. Incentivizing house flipping is ridiculous, and only drives up prices to stupid high levels that a lot of folks simply can't afford.
@@nancymcmonarch so it’s important to understand that section 8 itself has been completely shut down in certain areas like it’s non existent for many years, waiting lists closed and shut down = a non existent service. So it can be said that it’s “active” but if something is closed and shut down for years upon years you know people who have approached it and it’s always been a closed down system is how it comes across now maybe that’s like what your saying with the waiting list but it’s not an active system if people aren’t even able to get on a list, that’s all that I’m articulating here. It’s obviously a broken system.
Help are fellow Americans and are homeless vets not the free loading immigrants
Now enforce the drug laws and shut down the non profits
Instead of filing lawsuits, the homeless advocates should take the homeless into their own homes. That would be making a difference.
Whoever stole the 25 billion can take them into their homes. While the thieves go to prison.
So bus illegals in and Americans out !? Wow
Newsome creates the problem, then tries to fix it. Now he's a hero
He Sucks!
The real solution is mandatory assessment, treatment, life skills training, and work.
Landlord’s have got to stop raising rents 100 each year, that’s part of what is making people homeless pay checks are not keeping up with inflation, high cost of car insurance, food, grocery, it’s really hard to make it in this world, feel sorry for the next generation, they have nothing to hope for.
While he’s busing people out and pocketing the money. Sure ok.
The zombies on the street weren't rent paying citizens, they're drug fiends from out of town.
Property tax assessments and insurance would have to stop going up each year first!
Finally!!!! The absolute truth!!! It used to take two incomes for one family to survive & thrive. Now, you need both parents working, help from 'government assistance' (they only decide who gets what, the people inside our gov. don't actually pay in), a roommate or two and a whole lot of faith and hope that things will fall into place.
However if your not from this country you get free housing ,money, health insurance, education instead of helping Americans,a dog or a cat has more humane rights to sleep outside instead of humans 👍
Is it the upcoming elections that’s driving these sweeps or is the Chinese President coming to town again?
How convenient when election time is coming
Exactly! Election time!
Gavin's term doesn't end until 2027, and he can't even run again in 2026 because like US presidents, our governors can only serve for two terms (eight years max).
@@nancymcmonarch Thank you for the information.
Got to quickly try to hide all the evidence of bad dem policy and rule.
So, according to homeless advocates, the state is supposed to allow the unhoused to continue living in dangerous and unsanitary conditions until there is enough accommodations to house everyone? Even if a miracle happened and they could get everyone off the streets of Cali in 6 months, the public cannot wait that long, something has to be done now! And what about the those who say they don't want services? What are the advocates saying should be done with these folks? Allow them to stay on the streets until they're ready good and ready to receive assistance? Homeless advocates aren't offering any real solutions except repeating "more housing is needed." What about businesses that are closing their doors because no one wants to walk through encampments to shop or eat...are the advocates going to pay that business owner's rent/mortgage, take care of his/her family or help laid off employees find new jobs when the business has to close due to low or no customer foot traffic? The advocates need to come up with viable alternatives if they don't agree with what's being done. The "we need more housing" doesn't address the crises that is happening here and now.
geez, you nailed it.
one could not stand on a street corner scream out racist or hate language, they'll find themselves in jail, the same 'must' now happen to the enablers, or advocates, as they have been deemed at least half the reason bums squat on public property.
doing what's necessary to 'outlaw' their enabling probably will not happen in Cali, or other states that are run by leftists and democrats, but it 'can' be done in 'common sense' states.
there's no singular solution to the proliferation of bums, perhaps 'most' of their issues will begin to vanish with JOB, in the meantime halting the enabling will be seen as a big leap forward...
yes you need to get people off the street, into rehab, counseling, hospital, and also get them housing and a job and additional therapy. These are very costly projects. Shoving them from one city to the next just moves the issue
This country is heading towards all the things happening for years in California. Many more millions of people that crossed the border here now with housing being provided by the government
Well calculated...
Much worse than a homeless prob presented by them, however.⌛
Hope you know Jesus.♥✝
More homes for folks the can't afford anything except their next fix after they rob some store. They have let their lives fall so low that there is NO WAY
up unless they are forced into treatment.
Makes no difference these people don’t want to make their life bet. Advocates are horrible big time enablers
Advocates need those people on the street to get more funds from the state. Time to defund advocates.
Nah. People just don’t want to be treated worse than slaves just for the right to live in a home. Get real and have some empathy you soulless monster.
grouping a large group of people as all the same person is the very picture of bigotry

I am a veteran who has been homeless at least 34+ years since I was discharged from the military. I tired of hearing people about supporting the veterans. Most people are not aware that a large portion of the homeless are veterans who not a fault of there own end up homeless. I have meet more than my fare share of homeless veterans due to PTSD and other mental health issues. To coup they turn to drugs and alcohol for a escape. It ends up in a endless cycle for them. Many times they will get the veterans housing only having the veterans back on the streets in no time. You just don't throw them in housing excepting them to what to next. They need to follow up with those veterans on a bi-weekly based. Or if they need more counseling and therapeutic help give it to them. And keep following up with them for how ever long it takes. People must not forget that those veterans put their lives on hold to serve Our Great Nation only to have this nation turn their backs on them. Some veterans will need very little help to turn their lives around while others may never be able to adjust their lives. It all depends on their mental or medical health issues.

How is that new? It's always failed because the problem is that people don't want what the solution requires; rules. But hey, keep taking money from the wealthy and using it on measures guaranteed to fail. The very thought process behind that creates the optimal environment for homelessness to thrive.
If you let people camp out in public spaces, then they’re going to do it. Don’t allow it and they’ll have to go into shelters and accept services. It’s ridiculous and insane.
Perhaps build safe shelters then. Have the physically capable tenants contribute their service to the shelter's maintenance and management in lieu of payment (to reduce costs). Build their self-esteem,sense of community and a path back to employment.

Being homeless -- a STATUS -- is not a crime. Constitutionally a person cannot be criminalized for having merely a proscribed status. The CONSTITUTION is the test, not merely statutes.
You’re correct homelessness is not a crime. Sleeping in public areas is because it belongs to the whole public not just the homeless ones. We’ve all equal right to the sidewalk or the park’s mown grass. What’s more it’s a public health hazard to have folks doing drugs and peeing and pooping all willy nilly.

Making homelessness illegal and allowing illegal immigration legal?
How about you provide homeless people who are actually working hard.
The governor should have done something to help these people long ago, these Democrats take care these illegals in our country, but not our own citizens, dont look down on these folks, except for the grace of God that could be you .
First off, thank goodness this is finally getting done.
Other states have been busing their homeless into our state for a while. It’s about time we bus them out.
Homeless activists are convinced that what they are doing is what the homeless population wants. Majority of them don’t want to get clean or meet the requirements to be housed. The ones that do find a way to do it. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink it
Of course the "advocates" are going to fight it!!! I'll bet 90% of the populace want to see their areas cleaned up. These encampments are drug infested and dangerous. STOP ENABLING bad behavior by allowing it. Homelessness is very sad, but we know that it has become a big-business in certain areas.
what is your recommendation to fix it ??? or just whin and it will go away
@@cruzn4ever169 actually, I don't think it's that difficult. For example, no one can fix the border crisis because there is no real desire to do so. Simple, enforce the law(s) guard the border. Deport violators. Crisis over. Same with our current homelessness. Once, they quit really enforcing the law(s) and just giving it a wink and a nod guess what it grew!!! There are not a few people that "check out" in society and say I willingly decide to not work or participate. In my area (Seattle) these people appear in documentaries stating such. People go out to bring them food they may not even want because "you brought hot dogs, well the other group bought them pizza". It's maddening. It's like removing speed limits on a highway then wondering why fatalities are up 50%!!!! Enforce laws.
They can offer bus ticket to illegals back across the border.
No one is being punished for being unhoused. That is the stupidest thing ever. They are being punished for setting up a camp in a place where it was not acceptable.

The problem is that people actually work hard and pay for housing Lmfao. They can’t just give you housing.
Housing should be a right, a right based on mandatory drug testing if you have been "homeless" have any drug or theft charges in your entire life history, at which time if you pass, you keep your home. If you fail, then you lose the home, and get sent to prison. There shouldn't be any chances for the rest of any of these druggies lives. For those of us who aren't criminal, arent druggies and don't pretend to be homeless - we would be able to remain in homes. We have a chance to fall from grace and recover. If you fell once, you shouldn't have a second chance to get back up. You didn't learn the first time to not do it in the first place. So yes, I think housing is a right, but that right is based on being a contributing member of the society that makes that housing happen. Criminals need not apply, they should NEVER be guaranteed anything since they steal from us.
@@celebrityrog while I LOVE your perspective, there would be no way for the economy to function if the government did that. For example, they “sort of” do that where I’m from: new york city, however public housing is full of crime and homeless shelters are like insane asylums but much worse. So basically the government is saying: “we will give you housing but we can’t make it nice because people actually work and go to fancy schools in order to get nice housing”.
Probably has not occurred to you that it is just reality that some percentage of people will ALWAYS need help. That's just how it is. There are people with chronic illness, with mental illness and yes, in fact, some who just have very low IQs or emotional IQs and they cannot make it in this system as it is. And we will either make it so they have help and avoid hellscapes like Skid Row, the Tenderloin/Civic Center/East Oakland/(and on and on) or we won't help them, and we will allow them. Personally, given that some people need help, it is better to help them. Working people everywhere already give billions to the super-rich. Turn that shit around and get that wealth that we are all working to create, and share it with people who need it.
Where I grew up you had to earn everything you have😅
@@ProJoe-xb5ie oh ok yeah new york city isn’t like that. We have a huge population of people that aren’t interested in working. They live in public housing and homeless shelters
HELP KEEP AMERICA CLEAN
Home again we pray 🙏 works.
BUT WHERE ARE THEY GOING?????? Near you????
The only solution for homelessness is drug addiction help & reopening mental health Hospitals.
They dont need to be enabled to be dependent on charity they must learn to be productive and take care of their own needs or gather them together in an area far away from the city where they are forcibly contained.
your seven years too late in complaining
We don't do concentration camps in America.
@@tomgrimm1141 yes, we do, historically. But it's clearly not a solution. And it ignores the underlying problems, of which the most prominent is drug addiction.
The old guy talking about building 10k homes now?? They had years to get something going and now that the encampment order is here, they wanna say let's build homes now? It's too late
Stop voting blue
Stop helping drug-addicted lazy people and help out the people that matter families.
The results? We now don't have gigantic encampments covered in trash on our sidewalks and parks. The homeless / Non profit industrial complex is furious!
There not furious they reaped alot of $$$ from what they created
