Oklahoma Governor Sends Invoice To Cities That Let Homeless Camps Multiply

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt launched Operation SAFE last year — deploying state troopers to clear homeless encampments on state-owned land that Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Norman had allowed to grow unchecked. Now his office is threatening to send those cities the bill for cleanup they refused to do themselves, and the cities' own attorneys are pushing back.The numbers make the argument for him. Oklahoma City: roughly 1,800 unhoused residents. Norman: 1,100. Compare that to Los Angeles at 66,000, Seattle at 9,000, and King County at over 16,000. Same country, same era, radically different outcomes. The difference isn't housing supply — it's enforcement culture, political will, and whether a state government is willing to override cities that won't act.Sean walks through the mechanics of Operation SAFE, the reimbursement fight now playing out between the governor's office and city attorneys, and what it looks like when a red-state governor forces accountability on progressive-leaning city governments within his own state. He contrasts the Oklahoma model against Seattle — where encampment sweeps generate NPR sympathies and needles pile up on sidewalks — and lets the population counts close the argument.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily news commentary that actually uses numbers.#NFRP #Oklahoma #OperationSAFEGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ MERCH - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 JOIN our FREE Discord Community!
