Trump Wants to Take on Homelessness, and, of Course, That’s a Bad Thing
It’s mostly Democratic Party run cities that are having massive problems with homelessness, especially in places like San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, and others. So, hottakes abound. Here’s the LA Times
Editorial: Surprise! Trump wants to help L.A.’s homeless by cracking down on them
Everyone in Los Angeles County knows how pervasive and intractable a problem homelessness is. Even as we increase the number of shelter beds and build permanent supportive housing and dispense rental subsidies and provide all manner of other services, it’s not enough to stanch the flow of newly homeless people onto the sidewalks.
So the arrival this week of a group of officials from the Trump administration saying they want to learn about homelessness ought to be a hopeful sign. It should be a good thing that the federal government, with all its experts and money and other resources, is interested and wants to help. (snip)
But, sadly, help is not what we’ve come to expect from the Trump administration. The Washington Post reported Tuesday that the president wants to conduct a sweeping “crackdown” on California’s homeless, razing encampments and moving homeless people into “government-backed facilities.” A Trump spokesman said that the president blames “liberal policies of overregulation, excessive taxation, and poor public service delivery” for homelessness and poverty in California, which he has called “a disgrace.”
So, giving them a roof over their head, beds, clean clothes, and food is Bad because Trump wants to help.
(NY Times) Three mayors — Libby Schaaf of Oakland, Sam Liccardo of San Jose and Darrell Steinberg of Sacramento — said they saw the administration’s foray into the state’s homelessness crisis as 2020 presidential politics.
“Homelessness is not a partisan issue and we shouldn’t make it one,” Mr. Liccardo said. “Both Democrats and Republicans are dying on our streets.”
But the ballooning crisis in the state — the number of homeless people in San Jose, for example, is up by 42 percent from two years ago — has happened on the Democrats’ watch and Mr. Trump appears to see political vulnerability for them in the issue.
Or, perhaps Trump cares that these shithole liberal cities are failing their residents and wants to actually help. Esquire’s headline/subhead is
Trump’s Sudden Interest in California’s Homeless Is a 2020 Campaign Tactic, Plain and Simple
The rubes at the rallies love horror stories about The Big Bad Cities and The Big Bad People who live there.
Media Matters For Amerika goes with conspiracy
Fox News has spent months demonizing homelessness in California. Now Trump wants a major crackdown.
