  • GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law criminalizing sleeping on public property in Florida.
  • Likewise, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is also trying to clear encampments in California.
  • It's a rare moment of unity for the two who sit on opposite sides of the political spectrum.

It's a rare moment of agreement for two state governors who couldn't be more different.

Though Florida and California sit on different ends of the country (and the political spectrum, broadly speaking), their respective governors are equally invested in preventing the homeless from sleeping and camping in public — though they're handling it differently.
