President Trump has issued a stern warning to California’s governor Gavin Newsom over the state homeless epidemic.
According to Town Hall:
President Trump warned California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday that he needs to fix the homeless crisis in his state or the federal government will have to step in.
Governor Gavin N has done a really bad job on taking care of the homeless population in California. If he can’t fix the problem, the Federal Govt. will get involved! https://t.co/2z8zM37PUA

“While the latest counts compiled by the federal government show that America’s homeless population is growing again after more than a decade of declines, the entire national increase and more can be attributed to California alone,” the board writes.
Surprisingly, the editorial board also places the blame on Democrats.
“Although the state has the worst housing shortage on the U.S. mainland, resistance to dealing with it remains endemic among the Legislature’s ruling Democrats and in nominally progressive cities such as San Francisco,” they write.
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson has warned California’s leaders that they need to approach this problem with crisis-like urgency.
