SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California's governor called upon the state's cities and counties to ban homeless encampments this week, even providing blueprint legislation for dismantling the tents lining streets, parks and waterways throughout much of the state.

There are no more excuses,” the California governor said in pushing for municipalities to address one of the most visible byproducts of homelessness.

As frustration intensifies over street homelessness, Gov. Gavin Newsom is urging local governments across California to effectively ban public camping and move faster to close dangerous encampments.
