After decades of inaction, states are finally stepping up on housing - Lemmy.World

If Newsom wanted to he could solve the crisis over night, just like he did when Xi Jinping visited.

In Utah they have been constructing “tiny homes” instead of more “shelters”. I think it’s a pretty good idea and, if I remember correctly, the only requirements to qualify are have the need and be drug free. Seems like a much better solution than shared spaces which often turn out to be quite dangerous for many reasons.

Feel free to explain how Newsom could solve the crises over night, and also why he hasn’t done it.
Feel free to explain why Newsom has been campaigning on solving homelessness in California for ~10 years but only made progress when Xi Jinping visited recently, and also why he hadn’t taken the exact same actions sooner. It’s the same reason after all.
He didn’t make any progress when Pooh visited. He literally rounded up people, shoved them in a building temporarily, then let them all out once the visit was over. It’s like a kid “cleaning” his bedroom by shoving all his toys and dirty clothes in the closet, only for everything to just tumble out when the doors are opened.
