People in Newsom's old home town might not react happily to that. His "Care Not Cash" policies as mayor certainly made people without places to live more miserable, but didn't do anything to reduce the number of people living on the streets. Far from it.There are few policy topics with which Gov. Gavin Newsom has more familiarity than homelessness. ...
During a stemwinder of a news conference on Friday rolling out his proposed state budget, Newsom scoffed at those who wondered about his broken campaign promise to appoint someone to lead his administration’s anti-homelessness effort.
“You want to know who’s the homeless czar?” Newsom asked reporters. “I’m the homeless czar in the state of California.”
The unhoused need houses, but all ours are going to winners in a grossly unequal economy. That poorly distributed boom gives Gov. Gavin a big budget to play with. And the population of people without houses grows.
Still true:
