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.
