Assisting by removing all their tents and throwing their stuff out??

It’s not as bad as the title makes it sound. California is aggressively putting people into assistance. Their leaders are actively saying to not arrest your way out of the problem. It’s a step in the right direction.

Many cities in California stopped that sort of activity a while ago.

Not that I don’t believe that, but I’d like more info on what sort of assistance?

The cops assist you in throwing out all your possessions.

Maybe in large encampments but from my daily experience of watching a never ending battle from the police and a homeless spot they typically don’t do that. They just tell them to leave, but they just come back eventually.
Everyday I walk by a spot where homeless congregate. At the beginning of the week there a few rambling around. By EOW there are 30 just sleeping coming down from their high or smoking meth. The cops come, tell them to leave, then it starts all over again.
They aren’t exactly bothering anybody other than the smell and that the city has to power wash the parking structure on a weekly basis because they all piss and shit in it.
Look I care for these people, I’m not trying to sound all NIMBY here, but these are the type of people who don’t want help. They want to stay in their hole. The only assistance you can give these people other than abducting them and put them in a facility, is to tell them to leave and go to a shelter. Addiction is a mother fucker, and the only disease you can get yelled at for.

Beds, private motel rooms, shelters. The article touched on it.

Can you provide any evidence of this?

“LA Podcast” over the years has talked on the issue a lot if you’d like to learn more.
