    were any counties/cities not going to do this and he’s bringing in staties to execute it over their heads or is this rubberstamping and authorizing staties to help what municipal ghouls were going to do anyway?

      Local governments have been doing this for years, like when Paradise burned down and a lot of the residents had nowhere to go, so they set up tents outside of Chico. The cops were sent in to beat the shit out of them and tear it down for the crime of infringing on the city councils ballooning real estate portfolios.

      This is rubber-stamping and probably providing them a set of guidelines that will protect the municipalities from suffering the legal blowback.

      Amazing how the articles are portraying his ballot proposition as one to build housing when that was a very small part of it, the majority of the funds are to build forced addiction treatment centers.

      We literally could just build some housing, or better yet force landlords to use their vacant properties but no we gotta police the homeless and force them into treatment
