Siebel Newsom was registered as a Republican until 2008, before re-registering as No Party Preference. Prior to registering as an independent voter, she accidentally registered with the far-right American Independent Party, before correcting her party to "decline to state".
I came here to say this sounds like something Trump or DeSantis would do. Disappointing it is Newsome. We need leaders with solutions, not bigger prisons. (I'm not sure what I would do, but I'm also not the Gov of California hoping to be in the Dem shortlist in 2028).
I mean, they've been trying other solutions and they obviously haven't been working.
Citizens don't like living near these and this issue is rallying people to the right.
I get that banning and sweeping sucks and is just moving people around, but if that ends up moving people from a highly visible area to a less visible area then it can go a long way for local businesses and tourism.
So hide the icky poor's away so people with money don't get bad feelings when they go on vacation and businesses can make more money. How very humanitarian of you.
