California Governor Gavin Newsom demands cities force homeless people to move every 72 hours

Even if, just for the sake of argument, you assume that these people are living in tents on the streets just because they don't feel like finding housing, which is already an absolutely massive assumption that I don't for one instant actually describes reality, there's still this...

If you believe that laws forbidding gambling, sale of liquor, sale of contraceptives, requiring definite closing hours, enforcing the Sabbath, or any such, are necessary to the welfare of your community, that is your right and I do not ask you to surrender your beliefs or give up your efforts to put over such laws. But remember that such laws are, at most, a preliminary step in doing away with the evils they indict. Moral evils can never be solved by anything as easy as passing laws alone. If you aid in passing such laws without bothering to follow through by digging in to the involved questions of sociology, economics, and psychology which underlie the causes of the evils you are gunning for, you will not only fail to correct the evils you sought to prohibit but will create a dozen new evils as well.

You can't just make a problem go away by making it illegal, you've got to address the root causes.

To be fair, the articles I've read about this have also indicated he wants to allocate three billion dollars to address homelessness, and that's actually a good thing, as the current policy of rampant vagrancy addressed by policing and imprisonment is not only ineffective, but vastly more costly.

But even so, it's still a ghoulish thing to say, and buckle up, because this motherfucker's going to be the next Democratic candidate for president.
