I find it odd that a new policy is given preference even if a restraining order wins, and the courts suspend any restraining orders pending the appeals. The new policy should be blocked pending appeal instead, if the policy changes a long held status quo.

The danger is that with only two candidates, the GOP could get the first and second highest votes on the primary, making a GOP governor a certainly (the November ballot would only have GOP candidates on it). I'm glad someone pulled ahead.

At least in my community in CA, we expanded safe housing for the unhoused by opening several hundred mini apartments in a converted motel, and a new five story building, in association with a non-profit, Mercy House. The two sites have social services on site, with career counseling available, social services, etc. I guess it's a modified "housing first" model that seems to be working.
