Notable echoes of Grants Pass reverberating throughout California

The US Supreme Court in Grants Passlast month turned away claims that the Eighth Amendment precluded charging homeless with crimes from camping/sleeping in certain areas (basics here).  There are been an array of legal and political echoes from the ruling, and this new New York Times article, headlined "Los Angeles Says It Will Not Join Newsom’s Push to Clear Encampments," details some of the notable recent developments at the state and local level in California.  Here are excerpts:

Days after Gov. Gavin Newsom put pressure on local governments to dismantle homeless encampments across California, leaders in Los Angeles County showed a united front, unanimously passing a resolution with a clear message: We will continue to take a different approach.

The vote on Tuesday by the board of supervisors, the five-member governing body of the county, reflected the deep motivation of local leaders to align themselves on strategy for a vast region that includes 88 cities and more than 75,000 homeless people. It also reaffirmed that homelessness would not be criminalized....

The motion, while absent of Mr. Newsom’s name, seemed squarely aimed at his executive order directing state agencies to begin clearing encampments from the streets. Local governments cannot be forced to uphold the decree, but they, along with many advocacy groups, rely on the state for billions of dollars in funding for homeless services and could feel pressure to comply at some point.

Mr. Newsom, perceived as a future presidential hopeful, issued the order in response to a Supreme Court ruling that allowed governments greater authority to eradicate encampments.... Some cities like San Francisco have embraced the state order, with its mayor vowing to make homeless people so uncomfortable on the streets that they accept offers of shelter beds.
