There are no more excuses,” the California governor said in pushing for municipalities to address one of the most visible byproducts of homelessness.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday urged California’s local governments to clear homeless encampments, escalating the state’s efforts to ban the growing number of makeshift camps on sidewalks and in parks that are the most visible signs of the crisis of people living on the streets.

In his latest push to crackdown on homeless encampments, Gov. Newsom urges cities to make certain camps illegal.
