Cleaning up homeless camps

To the Editor:

Just read that Gov. Gavin Newsom does not plan to scale back on the cleanup of homeless camps amid an upcoming budget shortfall. While I am grateful for the funding and how much better our highways and byways look, we really do need to tackle the causes of homelessness to start with, or this will be an ongoing problem with no solutions! By the way, I drove into town yesterday and noticed the neatly trimmed trees on the banks between Jamestown and Sonora — looks really great! Not sure which agency is responsible. I am so impressed with the parklike appearance and think visitors to our area will be impressed, as well!
