Leaving homeless people to sleep on the streets during extreme weather conditions instead of involuntarily committing them is a harmful policy that leads to fatalities.

“This hands-off policy that basically is empathetic toward the homeless to the point where you're killing the homeless. You you say that they should be able to live out on the streets. That it is a form of cruelty and intolerance to involuntarily commit people”

Homelessness should be addressed through the provision of shelter, housing, and services rather than relying on arrests or relocation strategies.

“we should be able to take on this issue in a proactive way as a city and to be able to address it the right way, the way that I think a lot of Angelenos want it to be addressed, you know, with housing, with shelter, with services, not necessarily through arrests”
