DC dismantled in a week the homeless encampments California's endured for decades

[NYPOST] Videos of the nation's capital being swept clean of homeless encampments in just one week may have Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,ns adding Washington, DC, to the unofficial list of top-10 U-Haul destinations.

In Los Angeles, the problem of tent encampments has persisted for almost 20 years.

They began to pop up after city officials settled an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit in 2007 by agreeing to stop enforcing a ban on sitting, lying or sleeping on the sidewalk.

More lawsuits, settlements and court rulings led to the entire city and much of the state becoming the site of homeless encampments on sidewalks, streets, freeway embankments, overpasses, underpasses, median strips, parks, parking lots, public plazas, beaches, bicycle paths and concrete flood-control channels.

One lawsuit against the city and county of Los Angeles over the failure to shelter the downtown homeless population despite massive spending is in its sixth year in the courts.

#3 This criticism is a bit unfair.

Gov Newsom did successfully clean up San Francisco to honor Chairman Xi in 2023.
