Here's another earth shaker: Gavin Newsome is having the AG challenge the 9th District court that ruled cities cannot ban camping sidewalks and public parks.
My DA relatives in Oakland predicted there would be a breaking point where liberal city/county/state officers can't ignore the filth and crime that accompany urban camping.

Yes, I think an accommodation needs to be made so that cities can clean up,

"'While I agree with the basic principle that a city shouldn't criminalize homeless individuals for sleeping outside when they have nowhere else to go within that city's boundaries, courts continue to reach well beyond that narrow limit to block any number of reasonable efforts to protect homeless individuals and the broader public from the harms of uncontrolled encampments,' Newsom said in a statement.

'It's time for the courts to stop these confusing, impractical and costly rulings that only serve to worsen this humanitarian crisis,' he said."

Some encampments go beyond being eyesores and nuisances.
