Blue City Admits It Was Wrong, Reverses Big Liberal Failure

Fremont, California, a deep-blue stronghold, has finally had enough of its spiraling homeless crisis, passing a tough new law on Friday that bans camping on public property and slaps harsh penalties on anyone caught aiding encampments. Even a local advocate, Tom Wolf, founder of the Pacific Alliance for Prevention and Recovery, admits the city’s frustration is justified—a rare crack in the left’s usual bleeding-heart armor. For conservatives, this is a long-overdue win, proving President Donald Trump’s hardline stance on law and order is the only fix for Democrat-run disasters.

Wolf, a former addict who was homeless in 2018, didn’t shy away from the truth.

“This entire ordinance was born out of frustration regarding their inability to mitigate the homeless issue, and because politicians are afraid or lack political will, in many cases, to make the hard choices that need to be made,” he told Fox News Digital.

He’s clear: this isn’t about “criminalizing homelessness” but targeting the drug-fueled chaos that’s plagued Fremont’s streets. The guy’s lived it—six months on fentanyl and heroin—and knows handouts don’t cut it.

The ordinance rides a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year greenlighting local camping bans, giving cities like Fremont the teeth to clear out tent cities. Wolf gets the real problem.

“People are going to still continue to use because they’re out there on the street addicted to drugs,” he said.

That’s a dagger to the heart of California’s “Harm Reduction” model—pushing “safe” drug supplies over actual solutions. Nonprofits and outreach workers, tangled in this mess, offer tents and optional treatment, but conservative analyst Adam Ring nails their failure.

“What they’re basically doing by aggressively protecting the right of people to camp in public spaces, for example, is perpetuating homelessness,” he argued.

Fremont’s not alone—California’s got 187,000 unsheltered homeless, tops in the nation, per last year’s count. The 2025 tally’s underway, but don’t expect miracles from liberal policies. Fremont’s own 2024 count pegged 612 homeless, down 21% from 2022, yet the crisis festers.

Trump’s been hammering this for years—sanctuary cities and soft-on-crime Democrats are magnets for chaos. He’s already moved fast, with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem raiding hotspots and filling Gitmo with gang members like Tren de Aragua. Fremont’s ordinance proves his point: when push comes to shove, even blue cities ditch the woke playbook. Wolf’s no fan of the status quo either.

“It’s a bipartisan conclusion, a non-partisan conclusion, that the city council has come to, and they’ve apparently decided that just a ban isn’t going to be sufficient,” Ring added.

Republicans see vindication here. Biden’s crew threw billions at “Housing First” fantasies, but Fremont’s fed-up council proves tough love works. Trump’s agenda—deport illegals, slash waste, enforce laws—is the blueprint cities need. Fremont’s just the start; with the GOP steering the ship, conservatives are ready to take back America’s streets from the liberal mess that’s choked them for too long.
