Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing Catrans property in Concord and Walnut Creek be used to house the homeless.
The proposal includes one site in Concord at the park & ride lot on Willow Pass Rd. at Market St. and one site in Walnut Creek on Oakland Ave. between Trinity and Almond.
“Today, we are making 286 state properties — vacant lots, fairgrounds, armories and other state buildings — available to be used by local governments, for free, for homelessness solutions,” Newsom said during his annual State of the State address in Sacramento on Wednesday.

gov.moron.
The one at Park and Ride is perfect for them. Then can all take turns holding the need money sign at the freeway exit.
NO!!!
Newsom does not care about the hardworking taxpayer.
Sounds like a good idea BUT….. The Concord site is one of the main entrances to the City off the freeway. Is that what you really want as the first thing people see when coming into Concord? Just sayin’
Newsom really doesn’t care about Concord or what Concord will look like with a state sanctioned homeless shelter right at a main entrance to the city. I really like the idea of a nice homeless shelter in Newsom’s front yard.
Put them in Newsome’s, Feinstein’s, Pelosi’s, DeSaulnier’s, (and all of our other idiot politicians’) front yards FIRST. Leave ‘em there, and keep bringing in more and more. See how they like being surrounded by filth, rats, disease, drug abuse and unchecked crazies.
I agree with your proposal. In addition, set up encampments on the State Capitol grounds so all those moron politicians can have breakfast, lunch and dinner with their “constituents”.
Obviously Newsome has never really seen a homeless encampment these are not places for them. How about we put them in your backyard Newsome time to let us residents who pay the taxes not have to deal with it time for government to deal with it and don’t Place them in front of us. I feel sorry for people that are homeless I truly do but most of them don’t care they don’t care that they trash our properties they don’t care that they steal from us they don’t care. Hey Newsom take him to your house let your family see what it’s like
How about solving the mental health problem, then the drug abuse and homelessness will **miraculously** get resolved too?
Whoever voted for GN is a complete and total moron. Check yourself before you ruin things for the rest of us.
I would add deportation of illegal aliens to that…
Well, California took a far-Left turn a few years back and I see no sign of a course correction in the near future. GN being elected governor is proof that too many people in California are mentally ill, abusing drugs, or the product of political indoctrination in our schools.
As long as these properties also offer programs for these unfortunate people, help them get back on their feet etc I am supporting it.
He and his D list actress need to stay in a homeless camp for a week,on vacation to see exactly was goes on. No hazmat suits allowed either!
THEY AREN’T TRYING TO GET BACK ON THIER EFFING FEET!!!!!!!!
These are overwhelmingly mentally sick men who don’t take the proper medication. They instead self medicate with illegal drugs. They cause havoc, destroy communities, assault people, steal and do not want to be rehabilitated. The road to hell HAS been paved with good intentions. Compassionate incarceration is the only answer. Please drive to LA and Hollywood and see what apocalyptic nightmare it is. Say no to the do nothing Democrat “agenda”. Enough is enough.
From Clayton. Well said.
I have a better idea. Why don’t you shame us all and show us how it’s done! These “Unfortunate People” can move in to your home and your life and join your 32 cats and 16 dogs!
There ain’t nothing like a caring human and pet therapy for gettin’ folks “back on their feet”.
I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no socks!
Sure! Newsom never has to see them from his limo! And like, nobody uses the park n ride lots. Yeah, right! Just tax paying commuters doing the responsible thing. Not like the crackhead thieving homeless scum. Instead, let’s put them in Newsoms’ front yard! 👿
I love this state. The voters deserve every bit of this.
How about we don’t ruin Walnut Creek. Why don’t we ruin Martinez more instead?
Why Martinez? We have enough problems. Downtown is mess. Martinez could be a great little town if it would just clean up and send the druggies out of town.
So mike, you have issues with Martinez? We here have enough of the homeless as well as all the ones being released from jail walking through our neighborhood at 3am. I personally feel newsome Needs to have a different solution and where he is putting these people. So leave Martinez out of it.
And when they are released from jail they should be taken back to where they were arrested. It is not fair to the residents of Martinez.
Mike,
How about NO.
The Chief of Police already went against the will of the people with this “sanctuary” crap. He’s headed down the same path as Oakland’s police chief…..
Obviously the demographic change got him in it’s obvious the Democrats basically Weaponized immigration and this is the result. Legacy Californians are out numbered! You can also thank public school/college indoctrination centers and left leaning television programs and movies as well as the music industry promoting baseless degeneracy for a good 25 years
Park & Ride are for commuters who pay tax’s. Where are they going to park now, next to a shopping cart ?
Now they won’t have to commute to break into cars and steal stuff.
So use the park and ride lot that the homeless are already using to break into cars and causing more people to drive solo instead of carpooling, since there will be one less place to park?!?!
I say let the homeless camp in Gavin’s front yard.
There are differences in the types of people that are experiencing homelessness:
1. drug addict low life thieves that would rob their own mother to get high
2. those experiencing mental illness
3. families that lost jobs, had medical problem/death in family, etc.
4. senior citizens that were forced out of homes they rented for 20+ years, because landlord jacked up the rent way above their income. This being done after the tenants paid off the mortgage for landlord
5. Veterans suffering from PTSD
6. teens kicked out of homes, teens that ran away to escape some form of abuse/neglect
7. adults and children escaping from domestic violence
8. any combination of the above
Some of those experiencing homelessness need help to get on their feet again, and are willing to work hard to do it. They appreciate and respect every bit of help they get.
Others don’t want to get on their feet, they feel entitled to everything handed to them and destroy everything they get. They have no respect or appreciation for anything or anyone.
Look up the video ‘Seattle is Dying’, it was an eye opener. It shows just what Concord will become if things keep going they way they have been.
First step is to make stealing a CRIME again, and enforce it.
Thou shall not STEAL, (not only is this one of the oldest laws there is, it is also common decency).
Public urination/INDECENT EXPOSURE a CRIME, enforce it.
Needles and human waste in parks and playgrounds! Bio-hazardous, life threatening to children. Enforce laws. File charges.
No more slap on the wrist for these and other offences.
Across from the Walnut Creek spot are some very nice houses. That will go over like a lead balloon. The state is just going about this all wrong. The mentally ill need confinement and the druggies need treatment. Their plan does none of those things properly.
The Presidio is a good place to start. Lets see the success, then decide if further use will solve the problem. What better place than Newsoms old stomping grounds.
Put them between the refineries and the acme landfill off 680 near the benicia bridge.Out of sight and no ones property goes down putting them in suburban areas Gavin N? go kicks rocks. Why let the people
Paying stupid amounts of taxes and working hard to support a huge population of takers and fakers get trampled on by reducing our houses value. Stop giving everything in the country away for free and having the middle class pay for every political promis
I am very happy that I didn’t vote for Newson,
I am very happy that I didn’t vote for any of the current representatives.
Does anyone but me see “the state” giving property to the city free of charge as a frightening development?
The people of CA have relinquished their position as the owners of the State and given that ownership to the elected representative they now call their leaders.
how much of your own money and how far are you willi to lower your life quality to make this happen?
If city councils aren’t going to allow enough housing because their little 1960s tree lined little single family neighborhoods are threatened, then we all need to share in the effort to add shelters. This is a problem we could have solved in the past but chose to sit on our hands.
Uhhhh, nice try Newsom. Goodness!
We don’t want em! You have a 12,000 sq ft property. They can stay on your grounds. Or better yet, every moron that voted for this adulterer can take in a few homeless people for themselves. Since they’re so “compassionate”. You libs will never get it.
Agree! And also illegal immigrants should be taken in too!
No WAY!! Governor “Foolsome” should open up a lot near his house. Everything he does turns to dog doo
Great idea! Thanks Gov!
Unfortunately most of these people are living like this because they want to. They are mentally ill, alcoholics and druggies. There is no incentive for them to change, like staying out of jail.
I like the idea of putting them up in front of politicians houses.
That’s largely a myth.
https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/dismantling-harmful-false-narrative-homelessness-choice
@BillBob that’s propaganda nonsense pushed by homeless industries, inc.
Hey Bill Bob.
My concern is that all the services and housing are “given” to the homeless. We end up paying forever. No responsibility for them. That’s why they accept a place. Many mentally ill receive a check every month. I have a distant niece that does. She lives in a trailer park. Let them share in the costs of food and housing. Even I could see going homeless for awhile if it’s going to get me free housing. Way too many of them have burned their bridges with their families. Also the article (link) infers that the rehab plan pretty much ignores criminal activity. How nice. Again, no accountability, just give it all away.
AND Newsome makes me sick. He left SF a mess and new he act angry over the situation.
How about all the vacant government housing across from Pixie Playland? Better that than desecrating new housing.
“If you build it, they will come”….by the thousands…..
Um, well for starters, that is not state property. It is Federal property which is used for housing military families who are stationed in the area.
Best place to start is by deporting all of the illegal aliens who are occupying residences which could be used to house native born citizens.
Yes grape, great idea. Put the homeless druggies next to a children’s playland and ball fields. Better yet, how about you and “moms for housing” occupy some homes near an elementary school while the residents are on vacation? Then turn them over to the homeless. Are you related to newsom?
Are you tired enough yet, of failed experiment YOU get to pay for??? There are no consequences for politicians who come up with not thought thru, knee jerk plans. Is this merely a plan to concentrate homeless persons and keep them out of sight prior to an election ? ? ?
For those who are unfamiliar with newsom’s vast experience dealing with homelessness in San Francisco during his time as Mayor of that city, January 8, 2004 – January 10, 2011.
2004.
“In 10 years, he pledged on June 30, 2004, the worst of San Francisco’s homeless problem would be gone.”

How about when voting you reflect on how adept party in power is at correcting problems instead of causing them and vote accordingly.
Bill Bob
I wouldn’t compare people staying housed in Denver with here. If you aren’t housed in Denver in the winter, you probably wake up frozen to death.
I get it, but how exactly does one “wake up frozen to death”?
In Walnut Creek the panhandling in front of the Lesher Theater should be outstanding, and the parking garage stairwells will make excellent restrooms.
I try very hard not to confuse stupidity with malice. However, I think to an extent our Governor gets a charge out of *issing on our shoes for having the audacity to take care of ourselves and families first.
If you haven’t, please sign the recall.
Contra Costa county withheld all results form the recall and wont turn them in and neither will LA county because he would already be gone if they did.Welcome to California.
Print, sign, and send directly to the San Diego address listed on Ranaf.org.
FS, Walnut Creek PD would arrest any panhandler in front of the Lesher building. And nobody pees in the stairwells in the garage next door.
Sheesh, man. Get a grip.
Yes, the residents will get up in arms over that plot of land above 680 on Oakland. But California could install a large enough carport with solar panels and fence in the spot too. Only homeless who can abide by whatever rules will be imposed can stay inside the “shelter” in their tents.
Let’s see….
Already there -check
Close to freeway access panhandling-check
Close to downtown panhandling-check
Canal or waterway nearby for bathing and toilet-check
Easy passage along public trail to 100+ residents backyards
First thing a visitor or resident sees when entering the city-check and check
Thanks so much Democrats,
Your such a slave to your egos that staying the course is all you’ll do.
Open your eyes and quit throwing taxpayer money at problems.
Walnut Creek will fight it. The park and ride lot is not that big. They will spill over into the sidewalk and street and under the overpass, they will harass drivers waiting at the stop lights and there will be more J-walking.
Thanks Newsome. Great problem solving
If the big cities cannot handle the homeless with all the programs they have what makes governor Newsome think Concord can handle thIs problem. So ridiculous!
Bill Bob
When could this problem have been solved?
And I don’t sit on my hands. I work for my housing and food.
Why are people who are contributing members of society now the bad guys if we don’t want a homeless shelter built next to the home we have worked hard to own?
Some people choose to be homeless and don’t want to follow any rules. If you do have a location for them will it be housing, bathroom etc… who will pay for this and maintain it
Contrary to the myths foisted on the electorate by Democrats and the Liberal Media Complex…the major causes of homelessness are mental illness and drug abuse. Without adequately and effectively addressing those issues, you can forget using Caltrans band aids. They won’t work.
BTW- if a private company did what the homeless do to our creeks and parks, they’d be sued and run out of business. That entire ‘award’ the homeless ‘won’ because Caltrans took their belongings to the dump should be used to clean up the homeless made and continue to make.
Thank you. They cannot be allowed to foul up our creeks and threaten the safety of citizens. They must be categorized. The ones that want help, the ones that are vulnerable and need help. Finally, the ones that refuse help, who cannot be allowed to disrupt society.
I have watched a few episodes on Netflix that documents killers on death row. It can take ten years of enforced environment before the often drug addled, can accept responsibility for their behavior. Even two years of correction won’t be enough to stop destructive behavior. Some here have observed this fact.
I’m puzzled as how many people seem to want something for free, sure those exists, but l really think most people would want an honest days pay for an honest day work. I think most of us like being productive and self sufficient. I always wonder if those thinking most just want freebies, if perhaps they don’t like working themselves.
Most homeless are unemployable because they lack basic skills, including people skills. And if they get a job, they usually cannot keep it.
Yes, a few homeless panhandle. But most don’t.
And the few who want to work can’t find or keep jobs.
And as usual, it’s only a few who are druggies or drunks. They’re the filthy ones. The clean homeless you cannot spot, because they have enough self-esteem to make themselves presentable. They sleep in their vehicles and run the gamut of age, from 82 years to 20-something.
Sad, huh?
We berate the homeless for being freeloaders when all most of them get is $194 a month in food stamps and Medi-Cal. The lucky ones get disability but that money ($800 to $1100) does not mean they can afford rent.
A lot of general statements here.
If you break them into four groups: 1- Mentally Ill 2-Various addictions 3-lifestyle choice and 4-Down on their luck, what do those percentages look like for California?
Oh, please, no! Our neighborhood already has a homeless day center on Trinity Avenue. Oakland between Trinity and Almond is next to a site where a big fire gutted an abandoned building and a parked car adjacent to the freeway last fall. Newsom’s proposition is dangerous in more ways than one.
Let them set up camp all around Seno’s big fancy house up on the hill by Clayton! There’s plenty of land and space there…
You Fools voted this idiot and ALL of his cohorts into office including those in Federal Positions…thank you for Nancy Pelosi. And now we all live with it. I moved here almost 40-years ago when Concord and CA was a great opportunity and offered a nice lifestyle. Now it’s chaos and a total mess. I’m a few years from retiring, selling the business (which has been supporting this mess way too long via excess taxes), and moving to another State. We need another George Deukmejian, or any one else with a tad bit of common sense.
A lot of homeless don’t want to be housed. They like the freedom of being in the streets. I’ve seen homeless people housed (through churches – for free) and they return to the streets shortly because they “miss their friends.” You can’t force someone to be housed just because the rest of want it that way. The CA weather doesn’t help the situation.
It’s times like this that I wonder …Just how big of a bowl of Stupid does the Governor eat for breakfast everyday?
His bowl is smaller than the bowls used by the fools who voted him into office.
That is hilarious.Ask the police in either city if they want this.Ask anyone living within a mile or 2 of this if they want this.
Good thing it’s only a proposal,kind of like him being Governer.
It will never happen and he is digging a hole he can never climb out of.
I would suggest living in Pleasant Hill to avoid this but they are so over building now it’s not pleasant their anymore.Money,money money.
Hmmmm 750,000 on the streets in demifornia
16 million illegals being housed by democrat programs in demifornia
Any questions
This is the voters fault so put the blame where it belongs
Just because people are short sighted and only see what they want
Does not mean they know what they are doing or how they are voting or what for and how it effects them and the rest of us
Voters allow crime and bums they allow corruption and the Democrat party Indoctrination education in public schools and colleges pumping out liberals like natzi soldiers
Voters are to blame
Until voters get a clue we all suffer
It’s already happening and the tilting point of no return is allready here
Demand change and force responsibility
This can’t go on and be sustainable
eventually society can not cope with all the ignorance
And the breakdown of society and laws goes away
Hope you dems are armed for that when bums come rushing through your door
looking for things to steal and using your children as fodder to get what they want
It should be grand and you won’t have anyone to save you or blame
So sad to watch people employed themselves
As they think they are right and just and filled with hate
to let society break down and give their children up to political grandstanding
How can voters want crime and no responsibilities of a civilized society
Can not wait for those same dem voters to have the state take their homes and resell them for huge profits that are untraceable and in accounted for
What a waste
They just spent $50 k cleaning up their mess they left a Park n Ride,does he know that?
Where is the Mayor of Concord??? The City Council??? Helloooo out there… It’s pretty obvious from the posts on this thread that the TAX-PAYING CITIZENS of Concord do not want hoards of filthy, lazy, bums setting up tents in our city. What are you going to do about it?? Time for you to contact Newsome and say NO. Our slogan is ..”Concord, Where families come first” not “Concord, Where drug addicts, thieves, diseases, and crap on the streets comes first”. Don’t just sit back and let this happen. Get out there and represent us and stop this. Do your job. And no, it’s not just NIMBY – I don’t want this in anyone’s back yard. There are miles of open land in California. If they want to live like pigs, then let them pitch their tents in an area away from civilized humans. Not in the middle of the city.
The Mayor of San Diego has developed a plan that has effectively reduced homelessness in his city. Concord might want to take some lessons.
@FROM CLAYTON
You couldn’t be more right. The mentally ill are the base of this homeless cycle. There are no more facilities to care for the mentally ill and THAT needs to change. The Gavin Newsom’s of the world, who want a quick solve to this problem feel that the homeless population is comprised of folks down on their luck in California, but that’s not it, it’s the mentally ill and the junkies, the junkies bring all of the crime, along with gangs who are organized and need their grip on crime destroyed. The actual “normal people”homeless could actually be helped through state funded programs, but its probably overwhelmed by the masses of mentally ill and of course the junkies
@JUST ME – can we send you to Sacramento? You actually have a grip on the way things are and could become. I want to say ‘how have the politicians got it SO wrong, but that is worthless as we all know they want a quick fix to take credit and don’t understand the problem as it’s likely too complex for their tiny minds and their huge appetite for power
Now wait just a dang minute, there’s a perfect place ……….
Has easy access to downtown and that plaza, you know the one … former home of Concord’s famous XMAS tree.
There’s enough land, surrounded by Concord’s world famous white picket fence at corner of Concord Boulevard and Galindo Street.
Although they may have to dodge the occasional car coming thru the fence.
He probably doesn’t even know where most of these sites are…just places on a map he’s looking at. I don’t know what the solution is but I doubt he’s on the right track. What is the right track…the solution? Realistically? It’s such a huge problem now it is almost impossible to fix. Some people really need the help and others will just take advantage of it. No way will it be this little community of people who are keeping the area nice and clean planting flowers.
I drove extra extra precautiously on Thursday and literally around every bend or curve on the highways there were people walking down the middle of the roads and crossing intersections without regard. They have narrowed the lanes too in order to accommodate bike lanes or simply add more lanes. A lot of vehicles are extra wide too. Not sure exactly how to handle these situations other than slow down, slow down , and slow down, keep sharp eyes on the roads and demand my complete undivided attention to everything. I still manage to drive courteously and restrict my travels to the minimum that is possible.
No matter what, taxpayers will always have to shoulder the burden of taking care of those who cannot care for themselves. This is the price we pay to live as civilized humans.
There are a lot of reasons why someone might be homeless. These reasons may be voluntary, involuntary, or some combination. That doesn’t matter. These people will always exist, and they don’t deserve to die. If they stay in the cities, they’ll continue making our lives uncomfortable and we’ll be paying for services. If we build housing and camps for them, we still have to spend tax money, but at least getting some of them into more regimented environments away from hard city life might be good for their mental health and recovery.
Since we’re spending money on homeless services no matter what, might as well go all-out. Get the homeless off the streets, out of the filthy and dangerous encampments, and into shelter/recovery/work programs.
Or perhaps… encourage your city council to approve more housing.
This does not solve the problem it just relocates it. This is a much broader problem than Newsom is addressing Just look at the third world site in Los Angeles now he wants it here as well.
Is there any state owned vacant lots near his house?
Seems that the need is to find those that are homeless because of no job ( determine skills) train to other skills that will help,them get a job. Maybe that job isn’t in California where housing costs are so high.
Then you have to address the vets the federal govt should be taking care of them
Then the mentally ill not sure what can be done there
Then sometimes, hard as it is to believe there are those who prefer that lifestyle.
I sure do not have the solutions .
I agree, Linda. Relocating the problem will spell disaster for Walnut Creek and Concord. If drug users and criminals aren’t contained, they will continue abhorrent behavior. Plus the ruin of our peaceful suburb.
Indeed Gittyup, where are our city managers on this subject?!!!
What do Concord city leadership have to say about it? Crickets!
Gittyup
Part of the concern I have is that the people we elect to the City Council are not leaders.
They are our representatives put in place to manage the City on our behalf.
The good people of Concord need to hold these elected representatives to the task and vote them out if they refuse to comply with our wishes.
Please don’t look at these people as leaders. They are our neighbors who are simply unable to do the job they have been elected to perform.
If you vote for Democrats or Leftists, you’ve got nobody to blame but yourself!
Yep, Welcome to DumbPhukistan. Where the psychos keep their insanity going by voting for the exact same crap and expecting different outcomes…..
That will bring additional homeless people from the Antioch area to Concord or Walnut Creek. Yikes!
I didn’t vote for Newsom.
The city of Costa Mesa, in SoCal, was told by the Feds that people carrying the Corona Virus are going to be moved from Travis AFB to a facility in Costa Mesa. The citizens, the Mayor, and City Officials said – no way. The Mayor said that it is not safe to put patients carrying a highly contagious disease in to a facility in the middle of their city. A judge has temporarily blocked moving the patients and a hearing on the matter will be held this week. I feel badly for the patients at Travis, who contracted this awful virus through no fault of their own. But there is not enough known about the virus yet and the Mayor is trying to keep her city and residents safe. SO, city officials of Concord —- what are you going to do to keep us safe??? Homeless camps are known for diseases such as hepatitis (among others). Fires are another common problem – and the hot, dry weather will be upon us soon. Not to mention the crime and violence associated with homeless. The Mayor of Costa Mesa is, at least, trying. What is our city going to do to protect us?
Billbob seems to represent the “homeless” and wont face reality or stop living in the bushes.
Hay mon thrushes have rights like every other creation.
Gavinvilles. A SF contagion about to go viral.
Gavin Newsom was a pathetic choice for Governor and he continues to prove it… He doesn’t even have the common sense to realize his new plans to house the homeless will most assuredly draw many more here from other cities, states, and even countries. Worse yet he will continue to raise our taxes to pay for his failed policies….
Duke call Ronnie. Mr. Reagan.
As I mentioned, the Mayor of San Diego has developed a plan to reduce homelessness in his city. Regarding his plan he states it is, ”… really a sense of our overall attitude that says a sidewalk or a tarp or a riverbed is no place for a home,” If I heard correctly, help is offered as required to permanently house the individual, but if it is refused, the individual is asked to move on. They are not permitted to camp on the street indefinitely. They must be willing to accept drug rehabilitation, mental health services, other services offered as needed which are designed to take them out of homelessness permanently. Its stated goals are
1 Decrease unsheltered homelessness by 50%
2 Finish the job of ending Veteran homelessness
3 Prevent and end youth homelessness
https://www.sandiego.gov/mayor/priorities/homelessness
They have a 63 page plan to accomplish these goals.
https://www.sdhc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/SD_Homeless_CSH_report_final_10-2019.pdf
Granted, Concord does not have the budget wealthy San Diego has, but Concord city officials simply cannot go on ignoring the problem. My suggestion would be to call the City of Concord first thing tomorrow morning and demand to know what the representative you have on the City Council plans to do about Newsom’s dictate. Speak to your City Council member, if you can. Perhaps they can offer an alternative site that is more agreeable to the citizens they represent. But, above all else, I would make it clear that the site is temporary at best until the individual can be relocated to permanent housing.
I have a better solution. Allow the council board members to call you first. When you answer and listen you will be able to hear the crickets ROAR !!!
A who who n who who yeah !
What exactly does Concord City Council do for their money? Not much as far as I can tell.
Most homeless are unemployable because they lack basic skills, including people skills. And if they get a job, they usually cannot keep it.
Yes, a few homeless panhandle. But most don’t.
And the few who want to work can’t find or keep jobs.
And as usual, it’s only a few who are druggies or drunks. They’re the filthy ones. The clean homeless you cannot spot, because they have enough self-esteem to make themselves presentable. They sleep in their vehicles and run the gamut of age, from 82 years to 20-something.

If you build it, they will come…
This is enabling. There are already so many programs in place. Let’s figure out a way to use the ones we’ve already put in place instead of paying millions to put yet another band-aid on the issue.
