The Democratic governor’s intervention lays down a mark in a legal dispute with potentially profound implications for one of California’s most pressing issues.
In a brief filed to the high court Friday, Newsom’s office warned a ruling invalidating anti-camping ordinances in Grants Pass, Ore. had “paralyzed” cities around California by imposing an “insurmountable roadblock” that effectively bars cities from moving people from parks and sidewalks. The Grants Pass ruling prevented city officials from enforcing ordinances against sleeping on public property, expanding a prior ruling —— that barred cities from criminalizing people who were sleeping in public spaces if there weren’t sufficient beds to accommodate them.Those legal precedents have sharply curtailed California officials’ authority to clear homeless encampments, an increasingly ubiquitous feature of West Coast cities that have fanned voter outrage.
