Tim Walz as her running mate. Energy was high on Monday in Manny’s, a popular civic salon, as people rooted for their favorite politicos and passersby gathered at a front window to get a peek.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel really optimistic about the race right now. Kamala is such a better candidate than Biden, and I think she has a good chance of winning, and I love Tim Walz.

Paul Trudeau praised the city’s Health Streets Operation Center (HSOC) teams for consistently tamping down an encampment next to his nonprofit, City Hope, clearing it twice a week for months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when the city clears the camp, which is most troublesome for him, the residents move across the street, becoming the barbershop owner’s problem. “There’s this constant dance,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More troubling for him, he said, is that it’s becoming increasingly hard to keep up with the overwhelming number of people who show up for the free breakfast at City Hope, which also runs a sober living facility. Since the ramp-up in HSOC team activity, lines have been stretching down the block.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You get this tidal wave of humanity coming from the ebb and flow of encampments,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As unhoused people increasingly migrate within the neighborhood, he speculates they’re noticing the cafe, maybe for the first time. The volume is hard to manage, as are the incidents that he said come with these new customers: A man bashed Trudeau in the head with a rod, splitting it open, after the reverend announced the cafe wouldn’t be able to feed everyone in line; people are overdosing while waiting for food, passing out and vomiting in the cafe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12000574\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12000574\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240808_EncampmentSweep_GC-29_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240808_EncampmentSweep_GC-29_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240808_EncampmentSweep_GC-29_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240808_EncampmentSweep_GC-29_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240808_EncampmentSweep_GC-29_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240808_EncampmentSweep_GC-29_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240808_EncampmentSweep_GC-29_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Department of Public Works crew members ask Jasmine to relocate from Leavenworth Street. \u003ccite>(Gina Castro/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been working for nine years trying to build up community, and when you have an influx come in it’s hard to take care of those who’ve called this place their living room,” Trudeau said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, as city workers cleared a small encampment under Interstate 101 near Cesar Chavez and Vermont streets, Gabe Brower stopped to thank them as he was riding by on his bike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year ago, Brower said, he had his bike stolen from his front porch, and a few days later, as he was passing by the camp on his way to work, he saw one of its residents working on it.

In July, she \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996234/sf-mayor-says-very-aggressive-encampment-sweeps-will-start-in-august\">vowed to more aggressively clear encampments beginning in August\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor’s crackdown follows the recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/homelessness-grants-pass-ruling-19484767.php\">U.S. Supreme Court ruling\u003c/a> making it easier for cities to cite or even arrest unhoused people for sleeping on public property whether or not any alternative shelter is available. She has directed San Francisco city crews made up of police, emergency responders, social outreach workers and street cleaning workers to clear tent encampments throughout the city twice a day. Since the sweeps began, a federal judge \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11999041/san-francisco-workers-clearing-homeless-encampments-need-better-training-judge-rules\">ruled the city must better train its workers\u003c/a> on how to handle unhoused people’s belongings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city has increased shelter capacity by more than 60% since 2018 and has added more housing units for formerly unhoused people, according to the mayor’s office. But San Francisco still \u003ca href=\"https://hsh.sfgov.org/services/how-to-get-services/accessing-temporary-shelter/adult-temporary-shelter/shelter-reservation-waitlist/\">lacks enough temporary shelter\u003c/a> and permanent homes for people to move into off the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s photo team spent a series of days over the past two weeks documenting the sweeps and speaking with the people impacted by them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But it’s unclear whether the governor’s action will deter voters from going further and passing Proposition 36, which would increase sentences for theft and drug crimes by rolling back pieces of Proposition 47, a criminal justice reform measure passed by voters a decade ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Newsom launched the opening salvo in the campaign, arguing that Proposition 36 “takes us back to the 1980s, the war on drugs, mass incarceration.

It would also allow law enforcement to bundle related thefts into a grand theft charge if the items’ value surpasses the felony threshold of $950 set by Proposition 47.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another bill in the package, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB905\">Senate Bill 905\u003c/a>, would remove the requirement that prosecutors prove a car was locked to get an auto burglary conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other proposals signed Friday are more directly aimed at large-scale organized retail theft. Newsom signed bills to place sentencing enhancements on large theft operations and extend the life of a regional property crimes task force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[aside postID=news_11990587 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/GettyImages-1498501086-1020x679.jpg']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of these things in this package [are] going to help retailers, law enforcement and district attorneys be able to provide the consequences for the behaviors that we need to make sure that people don’t continue doing this behavior,” said Rachel Michelin, president and CEO of the California Retailers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of Proposition 36 argue that stricter punishments are necessary to prevent shoplifting and drug crimes — and to compel drug users into treatment. Participation in drug courts, which require treatment in exchange for reduced punishment, has dropped significantly since the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975692/prop-47s-impact-on-californias-criminal-justice-system\">passage of Proposition 47\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 36 would require Californians convicted multiple times of drug possession to complete treatment to potentially avoid prison time. It would also punish shoplifting based on the frequency of the crime, rather than the value of the stolen goods. Under the measure, a third theft offense could be punishable with a felony, regardless of what was stolen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“State leaders have had years to address California’s crime and drug crises, yet little has been done to tackle the root causes,” a spokesperson for the Yes on Proposition 36 campaign said in a statement. “These newly passed legislative bills are half measures, failing to address the fundamental issues of habitual repeat theft, the fentanyl epidemic, and the ongoing homelessness crisis, which remains unaddressed due to the lack of strong incentives for drug treatment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the high-profile proposals signed by Newsom won bipartisan support in the state Legislature. But the path to the governor’s desk wasn’t simple. In an attempt to blunt support for Proposition 36 and keep it off the ballot, Newsom and legislative leaders inserted language into the retail theft bills that would have nullified them if the ballot measure passed. The governor also worked to craft a competing public safety ballot measure, but could not secure legislative support before the ballot deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the architects of Proposition 36 held firm in their push to place the initiative on the ballot, the poison pill language was removed from the legislative package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Participation in drug courts, which require treatment in exchange for reduced punishment, has dropped significantly since the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975692/prop-47s-impact-on-californias-criminal-justice-system\">passage of Proposition 47\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 36 would require Californians convicted multiple times of drug possession to complete treatment to potentially avoid prison time. It would also punish shoplifting based on the frequency of the crime, rather than the value of the stolen goods. Under the measure, a third theft offense could be punishable with a felony, regardless of what was stolen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“State leaders have had years to address California’s crime and drug crises, yet little has been done to tackle the root causes,” a spokesperson for the Yes on Proposition 36 campaign said in a statement. “These newly passed legislative bills are half measures, failing to address the fundamental issues of habitual repeat theft, the fentanyl epidemic, and the ongoing homelessness crisis, which remains unaddressed due to the lack of strong incentives for drug treatment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the high-profile proposals signed by Newsom won bipartisan support in the state Legislature. But the path to the governor’s desk wasn’t simple. In an attempt to blunt support for Proposition 36 and keep it off the ballot, Newsom and legislative leaders inserted language into the retail theft bills that would have nullified them if the ballot measure passed. The governor also worked to craft a competing public safety ballot measure, but could not secure legislative support before the ballot deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the architects of Proposition 36 held firm in their push to place the initiative on the ballot, the poison pill language was removed from the legislative package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Several families residing in RVs near San Francisco’s Lake Merced Park have returned to an area they previously inhabited on Winston Drive after city officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11999643/unhoused-san-francisco-rv-families-forced-to-move-yet-again-with-nowhere-to-go\">began trying to boot them from a road adjacent to the San Francisco Zoo late last week\u003c/a>. Many of those families had moved to Zoo Road just the week prior — after having been cleared from Winston Drive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This latest shuffle follows several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11970299/city-delays-parking-restrictions-near-sf-state-offering-brief-reprieve-to-rv-community\">unsuccessful attempts\u003c/a> to find a safe parking space or other housing for dozens of immigrant families living in cars and RVs on Winston Drive behind Stonestown Galleria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Evicting these families before they have secured housing is not only inhumane but counterproductive,” said Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition on Homelessness, in a statement. “We urge the city to take down the tow-away signs [on Zoo Road] and halt the eviction to ensure that these families can transition into long term housing without unnecessary trauma.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, San Francisco began \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11983146/san-franciscos-new-parking-rules-set-to-displace-rv-community-near-sf-state\">enforcing four-hour parking restrictions\u003c/a> along Winston Drive. Families were recently told they could park at the Zoo Road site, near the Pomeroy Recreation & Rehabilitation Center, when parking enforcement began. However, the city also began receiving complaints about the RVs in the new location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials issued notices to vacate Zoo Road late last week. Then, on Tuesday, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency posted signs warning that the RVs would be towed if not removed before midnight, causing residents to scramble and move yet again. Now, dozens of RVs line Lake Merced Boulevard near Winston Drive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have had no sleep, they’re stressed out, they’re scared, and they’re traumatized from all of what they have been experiencing. They’re being pushed from one place to another,” said Yessica Hernandez, a housing justice organizer with the Coalition on Homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='homelessness']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city offered housing to some of the families living on Zoo Road, advocates said. Around 20 households agreed to the city’s housing offers, which range from shelter beds to subsidies on rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, while the housing applications are processed, the city’s order to vacate Zoo Road remains, concerning residents who don’t know where to go in the interim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates are also concerned that the latest enforcement has split up the tight-knit community of families at Zoo Road, which are made up of majority Latino, non-English speaking immigrants and their children. Outreach workers with La Raza Community Resource Center previously told KQED that they estimate about 50 children live in the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates say the back and forth and threats of towing, eviction or fines have made it increasingly difficult for the families to move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a community of families who are working but can’t afford to pay rent in San Francisco, and they are looking for some help from the city to find the stability that they need,” Hernandez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Then, on Tuesday, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency posted signs warning that the RVs would be towed if not removed before midnight, causing residents to scramble and move yet again.

That means doctors can get reimbursed for screening the child and parent for mental and behavioral health problems and referring them to appropriate follow-up care. Children up to 20 years old and their parents qualify for the benefit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Child-parent psychotherapy is also covered under the state’s $4.7 billion Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative. A diagnosis is required before treatment can begin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you can show that trauma affects biology in a manner we can’t control consciously and that therapy can reverse that biological harm, it gets people to think, ‘Gosh, I may not be concerned about mental health, but I’m compelled to invest in and support policies that would pay for this type of intervention because it’s going to prevent asthma, it’s going to prevent obesity or heart disease down the line,’” Bush said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

It’s a complete waste of resources.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wozniak said a team of 26 lawyers is working on behalf of the arrested protesters and will “fight this case to dismissal.” An agreement similar to the one Bay Bridge protesters reached would be appropriate, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are all political actions.

He said he feels the case is being “overcharged.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Each individual person has over 40 charges against them,” Wozniak told KQED. “This is dramatically more charges than, for example, the Bay Bridge 78 faced.
