Commentary: Clearing encampments looks good politically. But criminalizing homelessness is bad policy

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. ut-criminalizing-homelessness-is-bad-policy.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Tuesday, May 13th 2025 at 6:20 GMT by}

Gov. Gavin Newsom called Monday for cities to crack down on homeless encampments. It's a move toward criminalizing homelessness that may clean up streets, but doesn't solve the problem.

In her column for the Los Angeles Times dated May 13, 2025, Anita Chabria critiques California Governor Gavin Newsom's approach to the state's homelessness crisis. She highlights the governor's frustration with the slow progress in reducing homelessness despite significant financial investments, pointing out that Newsom has threatened to withhold funding from cities not showing sufficient results. Chabria argues that while Newsom's impatience is understandable, the complexity of homelessness requires more than just financial solutions; it demands systemic changes and a deeper understanding of the issue. She emphasizes the need for a collaborative effort between state and local governments, and criticizes the punitive approach of withholding funds, suggesting it could further hinder progress. Chabria concludes by calling for a more compassionate and comprehensive strategy to address the root causes of homelessness in California.
