In my opinion, if Newsom is anything worth his salt, he would invest public funds into tiny homes and basically guaranteed jobs for the homeless, rather than being cool with things like:

  • living in the BART facilities
  • living in tents on the street
  • being rounded up into random buildings/facilities because Xi is coming
  • $20 minimum wage for everyone but Panera Bread since the CEO is my friend

Newsom, literally with the stoke of a pen, could invest public funds into helping the homeless in a provable way, yet he does not. The only conclusion I can come to is that he does not want to.

Please, convince me otherwise, but the state of, at least, SF under Newsom (and big tech, admittedly) has greatly deteriorated

Feel free to explain why Newsom has been campaigning on solving homelessness in California for ~10 years but only made progress when Xi Jinping visited recently, and also why he hadn't taken the exact same actions sooner. It's the same reason, after all.

That is a really cool resume item, ngl

Do you mind me asking the languages/frameworks backing it? (e.g. JavaScript/Node)

With the new bullshit ruling by SCOTUS

FTFY

Care to explain? As far as I'm aware there are only benefits for hybrid/electric vehicles (in the US at least)

If Newsom wanted to he could probably solve the crisis over night, just like he did when Xi Jinping visited.

In Utah they have been constructing "tiny homes" instead of more "shelters". I think it's a pretty good idea and, if I remember correctly, the only requirements to qualify are have the need and be drug free. Seems like a much better solution than shared spaces which often turn out to be quite dangerous for many reasons.

no green spaces

Did you look at the picture or read the post?

There is literally green space taking up ~70% of the promenade pictured and OP says botanical garden on the roof....

It's not a forest, but it's also not simply concrete

I'll probably be in the minority, since this is Lemmy after all, but how is this "news"?

This is basically: reporter I hate said something I hate.

Is this Jesse's regular MO? Yes.

Is Jesse garbage? Yes.

Is this news? No.
