Newsom Touts California as Model for Homelessness

Formerly conservative California, which used to epitomize the American Dream and which launched Ronaldus Maximus from governor to president, is a model for leftists throughout the country when it comes to achieving political dominance through demographic transformation. As Gavin Newsom triumphantly affirms, it is also a model regarding homelessness, a crisis that Democrats have exacerbated for nefarious political purposes.

California achieved its stratospheric homelessness level by spending money to grow it. This spending continues to escalate:

[Newsom] announced a $3.3 billion fund for California counties to tackle rampant homelessness, including a mental health initiative he pushed for.

Crowed Newsom:

“We have a national model.”

Twenty-eight percent of the homeless in the USA subsist in the erstwhile Golden State.

That figure marked a 40 percent increase from the rate it was at five years ago, reports CalMatters. …

In Los Angeles, which has more homeless people than any other US city at a staggering 65,111 people according to a separate 2023 California Senate report, the rate increased by nine percent in 2023 compared to the previous year.

California is a national model, all right — assuming that the objective is to reduce America to a Third World slum.

It isn’t just the warm weather:

[A federal report] found that the number of ‘unsheltered’ people – those not in any form of government housing or shelter and instead sleep on the streets – in California accounted for 49 percent of the entire nation’s tally.

At over 123,000 unsheltered homeless people in California, the state held a rate eight times higher than the second worst state, Florida, which had just 15,000.

That which the government wants to abolish, it taxes. That which it wants more of, it subsidizes. This is why California so lavishly subsidizes homelessness.

Newsom touted Proposition 1, which pours money on the homeless and mandates that counties…

…spend two-thirds of the money gained from a 2004 tax on millionaires solely on mental health services.

Fewer millionaires, more mentally ill derelicts. Sounds like a plan for consolidating leftist rule.
