In a Friday interview, Caitlyn Jenner said that homelessness was one of the major issues concerning California residents and pointed to tents in Beverly Hills as a sign of the problem
She said she would "work with charitable groups" to build such housing, as well as streamline permit processes and relax environmental restrictions on construction.
Jenner has never run for office before, but she has attracted the lion's share of national coverage because of her celebrity as a former Olympic gold medalist and member of the Kardashian family. Despite touting her outsider appeal, she last week that showed 57 percent of likely voters oppose recalling him. Still, if he is vulnerable, homelessness remains one of voters' biggest concerns. Newsom seems to recognize that and has proposed spending $12 billion to tackle the problem, in addition to picking up trash at least three times at encampment sites in California — all in front of TV cameras.
Jenner argued on the Fox LA show that “50 percent of all homeless people live in California," and called for the "massive problem" to be addressed. "We need to do a better job, and the only way to get it done is to have a governor who makes it a priority," she said, insisting she would be a "hands-on governor" on the issue.
