“Clearing homeless encampments” is cruel and politically bad.
To: Gov. Newsom
From: A constituent in Toluca Lake, CA
July 25, 2024
“Clearing homeless encampments” just means tossing people’s only worldly possessions into the garbage while they are at work. This is a heartless waste of time, tax money, and a cruel thing to ask of anyone to do. “Just following orders” is no excuse, and you’re the one giving the orders.
How dare you. I voted for you thinking you would be a moderate, but yet you shot down unemployment for striking workers which would have shortened strikes and helped the economy, and now this.
What is your plan to house these people? Where are you going to put them? You could require every religious institution to house one person to keep their tax exemption at no cost, and that would house every homeless person, but no. You just want to cause pain and havoc with your half cocked hair brained plan.
We don’t need any more publicity saying Californians and our politicians are stupid, yet you pulled a stunt like this.
If you go through with this evil plan I will never vote for you again, advise my union to not vote for you, and will go door to door for anyone who opposes you.
