Up north here in Oregon, our Democratic leaders are pretty much the same. They have quite literally argued that housing isn’t a solution to homelessness and instead just have police bust up their camps and push them down the road to do it all again in 3 months.
Voters passed a law to pump a bunch of funding into rehab centers rather than constantly arresting and releasing people for addiction issues, and they refused to disperse any of the funding. After a few years of this, they pointed to the lack of progress as a reason to overturn the law and pump all that money into policing and prisons.
They’ll dole out money for homeless services but only give it to church-run shelters who then impose faith based rules upon their guests which cause many of them to sleep on the streets instead.
They refuse to fund mental health services to the point where we have little more than a couple dozen beds available in the entire state for people experiencing psychiatric emergencies and those that do make it in only stay a few days before getting kicked right back out on the streets.

No she isn’t. They’re cut from the same cloth.
