Gov. Gavin Newsom said a federal case preventing San Francisco from cleaning up homeless encampments has “gone too far.' The state may intervene to overturn the case.
argued the city had been violating the law by clearing homeless encampments without offering shelter and improperly throwing out peoples' belongings such as cellphones and medication.
Newsom, the former San Francisco mayor, said he’s personally worked on cleaning up three encampments near San Francisco but that his staff stopped him from cleaning up a fourth due to a court ruling. More broadly, Newsom said federal judges are ruling with a"perverse interpretation" of a court ruling stemming from a case in Boise, Idaho, that said cities can't prosecute people for sleeping on the streets if they have nowhere else to go.
"People’s lives are at risk; it’s unacceptable what’s happening on the streets and sidewalks," he said. He added,"We’re now complicit, all of us, at all levels of government and all branches of government."In the wide-ranging interview, Newsom reiterated his support for Democratic President Joe Biden to run for reelection. He has repeatedly said he has no plans to challenge Biden or run for president, instead traveling the country as a surrogate for Biden.
Newsom was asked about the newly disclosed effort by Silicon Valley billionaires to build a new city between San Francisco and Sacramento. He said the project's leaders need to win back trust from officials if they hope to move forward after keeping the project secret for years as they bought up massive amounts of land in Solano County."They start a little behind in my book" because of all the intrigue and questions created by their secrecy, Newsom said.
