He’s running on “offer a bed first, then you get penalized if you don’t accept the offer.” A lot of people in CA like the idea of offering help, then penalizing if you refuse to accept it.
Problem is, people don’t understand why the big cities have so many unfilled beds. Many shelters are dangerous and or cause you to lose your belongings.
The key though would be they can’t at all tell people who they are and the people running the shelters can not be told in advanced who that individual is and when they will be dropped off.
It doesn’t matter how he wants to frame it or even if California liberals like it, it’s still going to end up with him defending videos of people having their possessions thrown away by a black-clad goon squad.
People may look the other way to that sort of shit when it’s their neighborhood and they’re tired of all the noise and obstructions, but NIMBYism only really holds strong when it’s your backyard. When it’s elsewhere you can pretend you have better morals and get offended.

Anybody who thinks that’s a good idea should be dumped in a city with no money or place to stay and then told to sleep in the shelter.
Honestly, having politicians spend a week in the county’s worst rated shelter would probably be a great thing for voters to demand.
