California Governor Gavin Newsom has chosen cruelty, emboldened by the conservative Supreme Court.  Following the Supreme Court’s 6–3 decision on Grants Pass v. Johnson in June, which essentially criminalized homelessness, Newsom issued an executive order Thursday for the removal of homeless encampments throughout his state. Newsom urged local governments to destroy the encampments, where tens of thousands of unsheltered Californians live, “with urgency and dignity.”“We are done,” said Newsom. “It’s time to move with urgency to clean up these sites.”Local governments now have the tools they need to address the decades-long issue of homelessness.Today, we are issuing an executive order that...

(The Center Square) - The California Senate Appropriations Committee advanced a bill to allow undocumented immigrants to make use of the state’s zero down, no payment home “loan” program, an expansion the legislature says would create “significant cost pressures.”
                “The social and economic benefits of homeownership should be available to everyone. As such, the California Dream for All Program should be available to all,” wrote bill author Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula, D-Fresno. “When undocumented individuals are excluded from such programs, they miss out on a crucial...

Jillian Lovato loved living in Orange County, CA, but she hated the area’s high home prices.

“My wife Jamie and I knew we wouldn’t be able to buy the home we wanted in California,” Jillian explains. “We felt like we would have been stuck renting our whole lives.”

So in 2021, they decided to move to a different state—and while many places were less expensive than California, the couple honed in on Texas because of Jamie’s job as a golf instructor, as “weather conditions would play a big role in her time working.”

A California state senator, fed up with the Democratic Party’s supermajority in the Golden State’s legislature, announced she is defecting to the Republican Party. Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil was elected in 2022 to represent California’s fourth senate district, which includes parts of the Sierra Nevada mountain range and the agrarian Central Valley. Alvarado-Gil made the party switch announcement on Thursday, after serving two years of her four year term. “I was elected to serve the public, not a political ideology,” Alvarado-Gil said in a statement. “The status quo under a supermajority Democratic rule in the legislature is simply not working for this state.” In an interview with Sacramento Bee opinion columnist Marcos Bretón, Alvarado-Gil said the “last straw” was the attempt to pass reforms to Proposition 47—a decade-old ballot initiative that downgraded some property crimes like shoplifting, forgery, and writing bad checks to misdemeanors.
