of oregon. but depending on what happens, could have ramifications across the country to millions of people. homeless population has exploded over the past few years. it is a national epidemic. san francisco would like to see grants pass. that's the town in oregon. get what they are looking for. grants pass is actually trying to impose penalties on homelessness and homelessness in king homeless encampments say it is illegal. they want to take care of the homeless population in that particular city. but they cannot do that because the 9th circuit court of appeals in san francisco ruled a few years ago that it is cruel and unusual punishment to find homeless people because they don't have the money. they don't have the resources to go to another place and that it could actually ruin and get them and

make it harder for them to get back on their feet because the fines would be so steep that it would ruin their credit that by the time they try to rent, they can't run. so it's a vicious cycle. san francisco and governor gavin newsom. they would hope grant past passes this as far as ruling in favor of them because it would allow the city of san francisco as well as california to start imposing local homeless los san francisco, as you know, as well as california dealing with this and has been a struggle for the newsom administration. so he is watching this very closely. i can tell you that they are going to hear this for most of the morning. not exactly sure when they will come back with the ruling. but again, a town of only 40,000 people can have widespread ramifications across the country. back to all right. thanks a lot. we'll talk to later. will okay. meantime was at the south bay. >> sales of mayor matt mahan says he would like to make resources for house priority
