But if shipping people out of state to try and give them a better life amounts to “kidnapping,” Newsom has some explaining to do.

In July of 2019, SFist published an article critiquing a program called ‘Homeward Bound,’ an effort initiated by Newsom as mayor of San Francisco in 2004.

The program paid for bus tickets out of town, presumably with the destination being to friends and family willing to take the homeless individual in.

SFist, however, described it as a program with a nice name which masks the fact that it “gives unsheltered San Franciscans a one-way Greyhound bus ticket out of town and asks them to please never come back.”
