State and local leaders respond to Governor Newsom's Executive Order to clear homeless encampments

Published 2024-07-26
An annual summit to find solutions for the homelessness crisis was held on the UC San Diego campus Thursday, the same day Governor Gavin Newsom issued an Executive Order, directing state agencies to clear homeless encampments from state owned public spaces.

"I think housing is a human right, but there’s a corresponding obligation to use it," said State Senator Catherine Blakespear.

She hosted the summit for a second year, which included different panels on addressing the crisis.

    The destruction of San Diego is happening in real time....what a tragedy
  • All of this time they could've done something but instead just made the problem worse and worse for the better part of two decades. The Homeless Industrial Complex is real, and it won't go away quietly.
  • Why all of a sudden does he give a crap about what’s going on in this god forgiven state. ?
