Bravo!
Op-Ed: Politicians Keep Shifting Blame as California’s Homelessness Crisis Worsens
This article is certainly less curmudgeonly than much of his recent work, which is frequently peppered with pejoratives specifically about Newsom and pretty much anything connected with the Democratic party. Although it is an Op/Ed it's not really clear to me what his "Op" is.

The law is quite specific: If a person believes that the actions of another are a threat to them, the person who believes that they are threatened can defend themselves. If anyone gets in my face or space I consider it a threat. These masked people are cowards and bullies.

Cost living has increased 20% since 2020, not the landlords fault.

Hey JIMBO - so you'd be totally fine with some masked men taunting your kid while filming it? Hm, didn't take you for a pushover.
Pruning and Removal of Select Anapamu Street Italian Stone Pines to Begin Next Month
I used to drive down Anapamu to go to work. The HUGE pine cones would drop each year. Marvelous sculptures 7” high. I’d pull over and gather some to use for decoration at Christmas and to give to friends. I always wonder if they fell on the cars beneath—hoped they didn’t cause damage. Beautiful trees but time to go.
Op-Ed: Politicians Keep Shifting Blame as California’s Homelessness Crisis Worsens
I don't see what is curmudgeonly about this article.... seems to me it's a pretty straightforward report on the current state of the politics on the homeless problem. It's not Dan's job to solve the problem, it's his job to tell us what's going on in Sacramento. And I don't read this as like or dislike of Newsom, just calling him on how he's changed.
Op-Ed: Politicians Keep Shifting Blame as California’s Homelessness Crisis Worsens
Cal Matters has tilted right and is increasingly so in the recent past. The separation of "editorial" from "news" is rapidly disappearing and certainly the separation from "editorial" to "feature" is minuscule. It is not "balanced" but not so far off as Fox News which claims to be fair and balanced as well.

How would State Street help since that store is on Anapamu Street? Anapamu isn't closed to cars.

Clever encryption, or fingers on the wrong keys? After running it through encryption software, it seems it's the latter.

That's what you cowardly fascists always say ... like "J6 was antifa and FBI" ...while at the same time saying they're political prisoners.

Oh, they definitely have a political agenda.

Interesting, thank you! A "12-hour outdoor shopping mall' does indeed describe a big majority of SS. What you are describing sounds like a thorough but rather complex set of conditions, and certainly no simple, blanket giveaway, and good to hear incentives are baked into the process. Makes you wonder why it's not being used.
