It helps the most responsible people (and everyone else) by not causing a massive wave of homelessness. When people are evicted, they don’t vaporize. They’re still your neighbors, they just live on the sidewalk in front of your house.

Whether you view it as an ethical win or a practical one, reducing homelessness helps all of us.

Is this the only way to reduce homelessness? How come other states haven't taken this route? Are the governors of the other states morons? Newsom is being recalled, so he is flailing and throwing cash around to secure his position, plain and simple.

It’s clearly an effective way to deal with homelessness, which California has a major problem with. The worst in the US.
