California struggles with homelessness due to unclear responsibilities among city, county, and state leaders. Despite widespread voter support for funding solutions, there's no consensus on how to address the issue. Californians agree on solutions but their leaders evade accountability, engaging in a blame game that hampers progress. To have a meaningful impact, long-term funding strategies are required alongside clear mandates from the governor. Holding local governments accountable for their actions will be essential in finding real solutions to homelessness in the state.
It's time for Newsom to clearly delineate local governments' responsibilities and demand accountability for the results.
The finger-pointing status quo has become a politically safe homeostasis absolving them all of direct accountability.
