Gavin Newsom to Order State Officials to Dismantle Homeless Encampments Following SCOTUS Ruling

Olivia Rondeau 25 Jul 2024

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is set to sign an executive order to push state officials to start dismantling the vast homeless encampments that plague the state, following the recent Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruling that doing so is not “cruel and unusual punishment” under the Eighth Amendment.

Members of Newsom’s administration said that agencies around the state will be ordered to act “with urgency and dignity” on Thursday, the New York Times reported.

While the executive order cannot force local Californian governments to ramp up the anti-encampment enforcement, Newsom is reportedly set to “exert political pressure through billions of dollars the state controls for municipalities to address homelessness.”

The move comes after the late June City of Grants Pass v. Johnson ruling, which stemmed from an Oregon city’s ban on homeless residents sleeping outdoors being challenged.

In writing for the majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch expressed sympathy for homeless people and the complexity of the issue but said that laws against encampments were “commonplace” and argued that the Eighth Amendment was a “poor foundation” on which to challenge them.

Gorsuch opined that the right forum in which to debate responses to homelessness was in democratically elected governments, not federal courts.

“Today’s ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court provides state and local officials the definitive authority to implement and enforce policies to clear unsafe encampments from our streets,” Newsom said in a June 28 press release. “This decision removes the legal ambiguities that have tied the hands of local officials for years and limited their ability to deliver on common-sense measures to protect the safety and well-being of our communities.”

“California remains committed to respecting the dignity and fundamental human needs of all people and the state will continue to work with compassion to provide individuals experiencing homelessness with the resources they need to better their lives,” the governor added.

While Newsom approved of the ruling, some mayors around his state expressed disappointment.

His EO does no such thing.  He can't order them to do a damn thing.  The headline sucks like a kamala down on a willie.

There's a small encampment a couple of miles from where I work. I'll comment if it disappears, but I won't be looking like a Smurf in the meantime.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

It's just a week later, but it's still there in all its trash and filth. I drive by it on I-880 during my morning and evening commutes.

You just can't make this stuff up.
Finally getting serious about homelessness, Gavin Newsom has installed Encampment Bypass Lanes to help pedestrians navigate blocked sidewalks:

Most states have HOV lanes.  Cali has HAV's  Helping Avoid Vagrants lanes.

Gavin Newsom says he is upset “as a taxpayer” by the lack of progress on homeless in California, so he went out himself (like the he-man he is) to clean up an encampment.

 Anyone want to tell him who has been the governor for years and could have done something about it before now?
