#2Kevin Paffrath has some ideas for solving this. The Democratic Party seems bent on preventing him from having a fair shot.

#3Todd said she had gone to the overpass to distribute sandwiches, potato chips and water to people living at the freeway encampment.
Todd’s lawsuit accuses the city of allowing the encampment at the 101 overpass on Gower to remain for a “substantial amount of time,”
Why is she distributing supplies to a group of people she wants the city to throw out?

Article is paywalled, but presumably she doesn't want them thrown out. There are, in fact, other solutions to homeless encampments...

Believe it or not you can feed the homeless and also want the city to do more for them without turning your streets into a slum.

Looking at his website:
"We will immediately house the unhoused. It’s simple. No house? We will provide a roof over their head."
Well, that was easy.
Obviously there are homeless and there are homeless. Looking back in time, any plan that doesn't involve being mean to some of them won't work.

I think it’s consistent to both not want encampments in a particular location, and to also care about those who occupy them.
I agree it’s a bit weird though. She’s definitely not a pedestrian who just happened to be inconvenienced by the tents, but actually sought them out. Should make for some interesting legal arguments.

Seriously, every time I read something like this I wish I was truly rich.
I'd hand whymauri a billion dollars and let them loose on the homeless problem. The postmortem on the crash 'n burn would be a priceless thing to listen to down at the men's club.

She would probably prefer them to be housed, not "thrown out".
