Bay Area politics summed up in one sentence đ Everyone's a progressive until they're the ones who have to make the concessions. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/mar/28/san-francisco-gofundme-homeless-shelter-embarcadero
Not in my backyard at its finest
Anyone who has witnessed the super aggressive junkie âhomelessâ people in SF and Seattle would never want a shelter in their neighborhood
That's completely understandable. The problem is that these same SF types also wax poetic about how progressive they are, villify those who also don't want to be harassed by the homeless, and block any and all housing developments because supply and demand is a GOP myth.
^Whatâs this about supply and demand?
The only solutions people really want are either 1) ship the homeless somewhere else or 2) have the homeless wear invisibility suits. But even with option 2 some jerkoff will complain weâre wasting too much money and resources on the homeless.
Invisibility suits wonât work because those people would still leech off resources and require tax increases.
Unfortunately Homeless services in SF just encourage more bums. Homelessness isnât even a useful term, itâs propaganda. Camping on the streets is illegal. If you have an apartment but you need rent control, from an economic perspective, youâre just as homeless as the bums on the street. The people of the streets of SF are mostly criminal bums. Some for their own fault some not. The word homeless is a liberal spin.
In all fairness, itâs illegal to indefinitely camp everywhere including a car. Most places have an 8 hour policy or real campgrounds where the most lenient rules are 2 weeks for your car. The government makes sure itâs illegal to exist if you donât give them some money
Yes they do, thank god. This is called personal responsibility.
Free one way bus ticket to SF. Homeless problem solved .... for other areas.
I have personally been doing this for years! I give anybody a one-way greyhound bus ticket to SF if they ask
Um, San Francisco and other âliberalâ cities already do this. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2017/dec/20/bussed-out-america-moves-homeless-people-country-study
đđ thank you speaker Pelosi for making SF great đđ
All these wealthy guys would then vote for Democratic Party, so that they have the same cheap labor for their shit.
This is hilarious. Not the homeless situation, thatâs really sad. But all the boomers/coastal elite revealing their true colors.
NIMBYs. Classic.
