Flashback: Gavin Newsom Shipped Homeless People Out of San Francisco With ‘One-Way Tickets’
SEPTEMBER 16, 2022
Governor Gavin Newsom sent a letter to Merrick Garland on Thursday requesting the Attorney General look into “kidnapping” charges for those involved in Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ effort to send illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard.
But if shipping people out of state to try and give them a better life amounts to “kidnapping,” Newsom has some explaining to do.
In July of 2019, SFist published an article critiquing a program called ‘Homeward Bound,’ an effort initiated by Newsom as mayor of San Francisco in 2004.
The program paid for bus tickets out of town, presumably with the destination being to friends and family willing to take the homeless individual in.
SFist, however, described it as a program with a nice name which masks the fact that it “gives unsheltered San Franciscans a one-way Greyhound bus ticket out of town and asks them to please never come back.”
A report from KUTV 2 News in 2019 in Salt Lake City claims individuals filling up Utah’s homeless shelters had been coming from the city that never sleeps.
That report was based on a New York Post article which contends then-mayor Bill de Blasio was sharing “its homeless crisis with every corner of America” and doing so without informing officials in the receiving areas what they were doing.
