With California's big cities in crisis, liberal politicians like Gov. Gavin Newsom and San Francisco Mayor London Breed are forced to scramble after being too lax for too long.California has spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $20 billion to address the crisis of people living in tents and ramshackle structures on sidewalks, streets, freeway embankments, public plazas, pedestrian bridges, bicycle paths, parks, parking lots and beaches.
On the same day a political opponent announced his campaign for mayor of San Francisco, current mayor London Breed proposed cutting off county-funded welfare benefits to addicts refusing treatment., announced that he will run against Breed for mayor on a promise to increase the size of San Francisco’s police force and crack down on open air drug markets. The same morning, Breed suddenly proposed cutting off county-funded welfare payments to addicts who refuse to seek treatment.
— despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration spending more than $1 billion to combat drug use. San Francisco is currently seeing about 70 overdose deaths per month. “Business owners and residents near encampments are confronted by trash, used needles, and human waste, and increased instances of open drug use, property damage, theft and break-ins,” Newsom’s attorneys recently said — but is it too little, too late?If Newsom was serious about providing mental health beds, he would ask the federal government for a waiver from the “IMD exclusion” that has been on the books since President Lyndon Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid Act in 1965.
