Newsom Says Californians ‘Have A Responsibility To Accommodate’ Homeless People From Other States
[link to truepundit.com (secure)]


California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday signed what his office described as “the largest funding and reform package for housing and homelessness” in the state’s history, directing $12 billion over two years into services focusing on “behavioral health housing and solutions to tent encampments.”

ABC 7 reported, “The governor was in Sonoma County Monday addressing the homelessness crisis and was asked whether all the money the state is spending could be a magnet for the unhoused to come to California.”

Newsom answered: “To the extent people want to come here for new beginnings and all income levels, that’s part of the California dream and we have a responsibility to accommodate and enliven and inspire and the California dream is still alive and well.”

The comments come less than two months before Newsom faces a recall election on September 14, when a list of about 40 candidates will be vying to replace him. Republican opponent Kevin Faulconer, the former mayor of San Diego, quickly responded to Newsom’s remarks on social media.

This is crazy. I have incredible compassion for homeless Californians. But no, we should not be encouraging homeless people from other parts of the country to move to California.

Does that $12 billion also provide for transportation via bus, train, or plane?

Lots of people here in my state we’d be glad to send to Commifornia.

“Mental slavery is the worst form of slavery.
It gives you the illusion of freedom,
makes you trust, love, and defend your oppressor,
while making an enemy of those
who are trying to free you or open your eyes.”
-Fiyah

“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.”
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“You have been programmed to resist the very person that is here to set you free, from the prison of your Mind... You are not free... everything you are has been manufactured by Minds that have not your best interest. You are imprisoned by beliefs and not reality. Religions are mental programs to imprison your Mind.”

We already spend half the annual state budget on welfare programs. The state can just raise the gas tax another $0.25/gal. We already pay well over a dollar per gallon for taxes, so who cares?

Most homeless are mentally unwell. California needs to start documenting these individuals and determine if they are mentally unwell, then sue their home state for dumping them on California.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80639654


Anyone that doesn't drink water and eats sugar all day while smoking meth isn't going to be mentally sane. It's not possible.

It is an all around health crisis.

Physical health precedes mental health and these are the most physically unhealthy people I have ever seen. It is very sad.

Re: Newsom Says Californians ‘Have A Responsibility To Accommodate’ Homeless People From Other States
I stayed in Lompac for quite a while a couple of months ago, at the edge of town at the airport. There is a litteral feral homeless man living in the woods on the other side of the airport. I'm not exagerating, the guy is full blown psychotic and obviously hasn't bathed in months or years.

It's just a disgrace that society can't 5150 him and get him off the streets to the help he needs.

Here we are talking about forcing healthy people to take experimental drugs, and we have established drugs that can help these mentally ill people.

You know we all keep raging about the evils of big pharma, but there are drugs that bring people like this back to functioning.

I'm not going to survive much longer myself without drug intervention, the stress, anxiety and other emotions are killing me.
