    Serious question: the folks in pictures look like they are young and able bodied. why don't they just move to less expensive places where they can earn a living on easy to get jobs like working in restaurants/uber/fast food? Why do they _have_ to live in sf? Like east bay, Oakland, Berkeley🤔

      Messed up system. Instead of enabling these folks to get out of homelessness these programs make it worse.

      Hope, they can find better solution to homelessness.

      Next door has a NIMBY thread about homelessness shelter at Embarcadero. Why should there be shelter at most expensive place in the city?

      Instead, use that money build that shelter in less expensive place, use that to train them to be employable, use that to help them with drug addiction.

    I find the irony of this post to be sky high. You do realize a lot of able bodied people are homeless due to the tech population that has moved to the city and caused rents to go sky high?

  • As long as we're a sanctuary city who cares? We need to just focus on keeping that status. Everything else is fuck all.

      I think I’m beginning to understand why California is the way it is. Teach me more!

    • It's just a matter of punching literal Nazis and sticking it to Orange man. We're not gonna let a little peepee, poopoo or needles stop that. Nothing else is really all that important in SF 2019.

    San Francisco is hell hole, all the delusional people somehow thinking it's a nice place to live are in serious denial. It's a mental defense mechanism to rationalize paying so much to live in such a depressing place when the real motivation is sacrificing quality of life for TC. Sometimes when you walk around you can't even believe you're not in a third world country.

      It’s one of the worst places to live in the developed world. I hate every week I’ve to spend there. Uber everywhere to prevent my boots catching poop. And yeah I wear boots in SF’s warm weather to prevent needles going into my sneakers

      I haven’t been to SF in about 5 years. Is it worse now than back then? I remember the smell of shit, but I don’t remember seeing needles.

    I've been told here on blind that California has the biggest economy and supports much of the rest of the country. Why then, in the article do they say they need federal funding to support their housing projects?
    Here's what I would like to see. Democrats are claiming that socialism is the answer and that somehow they can make it work despite it never working in the past. Why don't some of you Democrats get together and show the rest of the country how it will work. I don't know the legal issues you would have to navigate but the general idea is to form a charity, give all your money and resources to the charity and then have the charity divvy things out just like socialism indicates. Make it work and thrive for 5 years and I bet the arguments against it will start drying up. Assuming it works. Personally, I would love to be a a part of something that really helped create equality and gave everyone a chance. The problem is I don't believe there is a human in existence that could manage it without letting greed and power destroy themselves and the system. I also don't believe everyone who was part of it would do their share. So for now I support capitalism and the charities I think are doing a good job.

      Yep, that’s why we can’t have a navigation center at the Embarcadero.

      My understanding is we're supporting the rest of the country in the sense that total federal taxes paid by Californians are waay higher than the federal benefits California receives relative to what it contributes. It doesn't mean that California gvt is giving charity money to the rest of the country.
