Karen Bass: “We have absolutely made progress.”

“There was not a decrease before at all because there was no commitment to get rid of street encampments, and we had encampments all over the city. So I would ask for people's trust in the sense that We have absolutely made progress. We know what we need to do now to end street homelessness. We need to end the failed policies of the past, which is all we're going to do is focus on building, and we are going to ignore street homelessness.” (03:59–04:02)
