Earlier this year I sat down with Dr Jordan B Peterson to talk about Alberta’s compassionate approach to taking down encampments. Alberta’s government won’t allow vulnerable people to be injured and abused in dangerous encampments. Here in Alberta, we believe in recovery and will continue providing individuals leaving encampments with the critical supports and services they need.

In 2025, the City of San Diego spent $7M to clear tent encampments. However, since the city rarely issues citations or makes arrests for violations, there is little accountability for violating the law so encampments come right back - often within hours of being cleared. The result is that some city blocks were cleared over 100 times last year. The sad reality is that, according to the State of California’s 2023 study on homelessness, most of the chronically homeless are suffering from addiction. Without meaningful consequences for their actions, it’s unlikely they’ll ever get help on their own. Allowing tent encampments is not compassionate to those living on the streets and it’s not fair to the rest of the general public who deserve clean and safe public spaces.

Washington State Rep says Democrats introduced Bill HB 2489 and it will be voted on this week Democrats will let the homeless setup tent encampments on kids soccer fields and city parks and make it ILLEGAL for the city to remove them I can’t believe this is real… “There's a bill in the housing committee that will be voted on this week. That will allow homeless encampments in your communities. Think about your city soccer fields, city parks, and city officials would not be able to move those encampments.”

#NOW California Governor Gavin Newsom is helping crews remove a homeless encampment in #LosAngeles . This comes after the Governor’s Executive Order to remove encampments with urgency and dignity. @MayorofLA said she won’t follow the order, saying it criminalizes homelessness.

Since 2021, California has cleaned up 5,679 encampments. Now, we're getting more people off the streets and into housing with an additional $299 million in funding. For many Californians living on the streets, this is a lifeline and a path from encampments to homes. This is about more than just the money – this funding represents our commitment to compassion and progress.

California is rampant with homelessness and unsafe encampments. Gavin Newsom has only made the problem WORSE. President Trump’s Executive Order making it easier to remove homeless people from streets and into rehab and treatment centers actually solves the problem!

Clearing encampments and reducing homelessness is not rocket science. We need to enforce the law and treat the root cause homelessness which is drug addiction and mental health. The only reason we have this problem in LA is due to corruption and politics as usual!

Los Angeles is broke and unable to provide basic services, yet LAFD is forced to use half their time and resources extinguishing the “warming fires” from homeless encampments.

The stories I have heard from community members about the harm caused by Mayor Frey's approach to encampments, break my heart. Unsheltered homelessness deserves a public health response, learn more about what my approach would be in my interview with Kare 11.

Homelessness is an emergency. And we’re treating it like one. Inside Safe has housed thousands, resolved over 100 encampments, accelerated 30,000+ affordable homes, and expanded eviction prevention.
