The homeless places would be empty if there was a sign that said No Blacks or Whites.

The more you give them the more they want.

And the more your make.

In his first year, he gave cities and counties $650 million in emergency aid to fight homelessness...

Which promptly evaporated into the ether.............

Oh Goody

That should bring another 200,000 of them or so

Hundreds of thousands of square miles of open land in the West and the MidWest owned by the FedGov that could be homesteaded but...nooooo....they gotta live in the prime real estate country

NewScum is so gone

I think it is a great idea.

There will be more than 200K

Every case manager in the country will have discharge plans consisiting of a bus ticket to California.

They all smoke and all flip butts and matches on the ground, maybe an Australia Inferno thing will help them into the promised land they thought they found

Let me guess... vacant state land, i.e., uber-dry foothills. Cali evenings can be a bit on the cool side, so someone will want to keep warm with a campfire... what could possibly go wrong?

I think that all the Cal-unicornian politicians should welcome the homeless to their own front yards. Pelosi, I hear, could probably have room for a couple hundred . . . but wait . . . doesn't she have a wall up around her property? a wall?

I am sure that the residents of Del Mar will be happy to have thousands of vagrants living across the street at the Del Mar Fairgrounds /s. That is California Department of Agriculture land as is the Los Angeles Coliseum.

The properties include excess state land that has been set aside for affordable-housing development, lots next to highways and state roads, decommissioned hospitals and health care centers, and fairgrounds.

This worries me as it says nothing about ownership. If I bought a decommissioned hospital with some future use in mind, does this mean the state can come in and dump the homeless there? Not clear to me.

Institutionalized squatting/vagrancy.

Heck, why buy a home when you can just set up shop on some unincorporated state land?

Concentration camps for the homeless?

About time. It’s what progressives have been doing since the British starved and allowed to die by disease tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the South Africa Boer war of the late 1800’s in THEIR camps.

Should work well. Kudos Chairman Newsome, kudos.

Here's a thought: why doesn't the state paint the facilities with a nice, clean white color? And, to keep potential thieves "out", put up secure perimeter fencing?

In addition, how about putting up a soothing, welcoming sign, maybe something like "California State Hospice"? And the state workers could wear nice, crisp white uniforms too boot.

LOL. I have said it for awhile, but there was never going to be any movement forward on the issue of mentally ill addicts living on the streets until proglibs made the move.

And who represents the biggest segment of so-called bleeding heart felt proggies? (Single) women + children. And who is impacted the most by filthy mentally ill lurking around public places, such as parks, parking lots, toilets, etc?

At the end of the day, there is truly cosmic justice, as well as some kind of universal balance. The only reason Newsome/state is moving to re-institutionalize is because of their base, and that's because women have finally had enough.
