    This is fucking insane. He wants them to create housing immediately, as if building things like apartments doesn’t take time.

    Bad enough that the camps are being broken up. They literally have nowhere to go but prison. Oh well, at least the private prisons are making their slave quotas.

      He wants them to create housing immediately, as if building things like apartments doesn’t take time.

      He says that occasionally, but that’s not really what he wants, he just wants homeless people gone out of sight and out of the minds of his donors and their customers. If they disappear into housing that’s fine, but he’s ok with other solutions too so long as they happen now now now

      Los Angeles County, in particular, has become a frequent target of Newsom’s ire. The governor again criticized the county on Thursday for delaying implementation of a law that expands the criteria for people to be detained against their will.

        Absolutely. He’s not an idiot. He knows he’s asking the impossible when he says shit like this.

          When is the cocksucker up for relection. We need to Primary him and remove him from politics at least as a Democrat. He fucking DINO and horrible human being. He should join the GOP because everything he does reminds me of them.

          it would be impolite to say so though. 🤷‍♀️ sorry. can’t listen, you’re rude for accusing someone of doing something only a total piece of shit would do, implying that he’s a total piece of shit. what kind person would even DO that?

          maybe we could listen to you if you also said it was fine and good?

        Especially if it doesn’t hurt his electabity. I think he’s quite ambitious and that motivates him.

        Besides, what does a career politician do after governorship?

        Corporate boards?

      Forced prison labor is determined by state, not by ownership. There are Federal prisons in many states that use slave labor, socialized by our tax money.

      Your point still stands though.

      Apartments take a few months to build. There are standard designs they build over an over again in different locations. I realize CA has earthquakes and maybe cannot take a design from Ohio (though I wouldn’t be surprised if they could), but there should be plenty of designs that meet codes. If they cannot build thousands of apartments in a year the problem isn’t the time it is they are doing something to make it not possible to build that fast.

      Building should be by right - no need to ask the neighbors for permission or get a review (for a standard design that doesn’t do anything unusual), just half hour to get the permit and then a few routine inspections along the way.

        You read what he’s saying in the article, because the implication is pretty clear that he’s saying, “you house these people right now or else” as if that’s possible.

          He has been threatening for a while now. If they haven’t made significant progress it is because they are not trying to.

            Bullshit. They have to deal with a bunch of NIMBYism.

              They refers to the people of the county in question - which is where those NIMBYs live and thus those who are not trying.
