From the article, it says that California already has the most stringent rent control laws on the books and that the law they just passed and signed isn't as strict as the existing ones. So what was the point?
The unemployed homeless still aren't going to be able to afford the housing, so that makes the law useless.
The homeless who are mentally ill aren't going to get the help they need to become functional enough to worry about housing at all, so that makes the law useless.
It doesn't address the drug and alcohol dependence issues among a good portion of the homeless so that makes the law useless.
What was the point?
Quoting: Éireann All the useless money thrown at the mentally ill homeless would be better spent building and maintaining mental hospitals to care for them, with a wing devoted to alcohol/drug addiction. That's most likely too easy so it won't be considered. This is just like the Clinton Foundation with the Haiti earthquake donations. There's plenty of money, but it never gets to the cause.
