Los Angeles Officials Challenge Newsom's Homeless Encampment Directive
Mayor Karen Bass and county supervisors argue for sustainable solutions over temporary fixes following Supreme Court ruling.
- Gov. Gavin Newsom's executive order demands the dismantling of homeless encampments across California.
- Los Angeles leaders, including Mayor Karen Bass, believe the order fails to address the root causes of homelessness.
- The Supreme Court's recent decision grants local authorities more power to penalize public camping.
- San Francisco Mayor London Breed supports the directive, planning aggressive enforcement starting in August.
- Critics argue that without affordable housing and social services, the order will not solve homelessness.
