Homelessness becomes a circular firing squad for California Democrats

Democrats are now targeting Democrats in California over the state’s ever-worsening homelessness crisis.
Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho has filed a lawsuit against the city of Sacramento, blaming the city’s policies for the sorry state of homelessness in California’s capital. That includes blaming the city for homeless women being sexually assaulted, homeless people dying in extreme heat or extreme cold, and residents feeling unsafe or having their businesses closed because of vandalism.
SOCIALIST GROCERY STORES WON’T STOP CHICAGO CRIME
Ho is a Democrat. Sacramento’s City Council is made up of nine members, all of whom are Democrats. One of those Democrats is Mayor Darrell Steinberg, who dismissed Ho’s lawsuit by claiming it wouldn’t “clear a single sidewalk nor get a single person off the streets” and claimed that the city “has endorsed and is pressing for strong enforcement of our codes and the law,” which would seem to be a shot back at Ho, who is responsible for enforcing laws in Sacramento County.

As is the case with all of California’s problems, there is not a Republican in sight to blame. Sacramento is run by Democrats from top to bottom, and the 250% growth in homelessness over the last seven years (according to the lawsuit) can’t be blamed on those dastardly Republicans. The same was true when Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) blamed liberal activists and Democratic-appointed judges for San Francisco’s homeless woes.
Whether you want to blame Newsom, Ho, Steinberg, judges, activists, or anyone else, the blame falls on Democrats. California’s homelessness problem, which only grows worse no matter how many billions of dollars are spent on it, is a Democratic Party problem. California Democrats know this well enough to point the finger at their colleagues, but perhaps the best way to deal with it would be for voters to clean house entirely.
