This sounds an awful lot like Louisiana...
Relocation begins: Jeff Landry's administration clears New Orleans homeless encampments
Louisiana coerced unhoused people into an unheated warehouse – and paid $17.5m for it
It started out as needing to clear everyone out allegedly for security reasons bc of the Bourbon street attacks and the Superbowl, but everyone assumed he was trying to just slap a coat of paint on the city. Then it happened again when there was a big Taylor Swift concert, now it's like every time "we have company" we should just understand Landry will be rounding up homeless people to make the city more presentable.
People keep saying Newsome is just doing this kind of shit to prove he's a centrist Democrat but I'm kinda starting to worry it might be a little more sinister than that.
Word of advice for California, be very cautious about allowing any state police or task force to permanently or semi permanently set up in your cities. If it gets proposed push back as loud and hard as you legally can, no matter what you local government might indicate about it.
Homeless sweep ahead of Taylor Swift concert reveals conflict between city, Troop NOLA
Troop NOLA: What we know about the new Louisiana State Police troop in New Orleans
Mayor LaToya Cantrell 'in alignment' with Gov. Jeff Landry's crime plan for New Orleans
And if you can't stop it from happening make sure your city hammers out even the most obscure details in a contract. If you're not sure if you need to bother with getting it in writing, you do.
New Orleans council member pushes city to ~~enter agreement~~ get written agreement on homeless sweeps with State Police
I changed the original headline bc it's misleading. It makes it sound like the contract was something city council wanted bc they wanted homeless sweeps. The city pushed for a formal contract bc State police were just doing it without any say from the city on how they rounded people up or where they took them.
