The EO is also *wasteful*. It takes a subset of people who have needs that can't be met by independent supportive housing and uses them as justification for abandoning Housing First, which remains the most effective approach we have for most.
As a reminder, a psych hospitalization costs $1000/day+.

The EO is *cruel*. It follows the recent Supreme Court decision in Grant's Pass to ramp up encampment sweeps, even though scholars like Chris Herring have shown how forcing people to move, throwing away all their stuff (like IDs!), and piling up fines makes it harder to get into housing.

The executive order is *incoherent*. It follows Trump's pet project of expanding involuntary ttt (which he evoked after the Parkland shooting), even though it is governed by state law and depends on infrastructure (like psych hospitals) that his Medicaid cuts are simultaneously going to gut.

the books – even for seminars in recent trends in the area, then the books aren’t selling. The Press might as well price them like Cambridge or Routledge, at a level that assumes no one will buy them. In my view, we need a Bandcamp moment – people realizing their friends won’t have bands ... 9/

The future well being of many people in America's largest state and the world's 4th largest economy hinges on finding someone who can really get through to Newsom to explain to him that he is never, never, never going to be President.
