SF has amazing policies, we need to export it to the rest of the country https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/SF-homeless-population-swells-by-17-in-latest-13851897.php
As long as we're a sanctuary city who cares? We need to just focus on keeping that status. Everything else is fuck all.
Driving up the poop per square inch to own trump 💯
It's totally worth it. I'll continue to live in poop town and walk on junkie needles just to prove to Trump that we're better than him! Sometimes you need to ignore "problems" to handle the real issues, which is open borders for all.
“swells” WTF? Is that a tumor? Fucking journalists can’t just use the plain regular words.
Vocabulary is key to marketing.
Well, kind of.
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🤔
A city in decline. Cost of living has forced some to lose their homes. Others have been shipped to SF by mayor's of other cities across the US. And with the current leadership in place in the city and the state, things will only get worse.
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?
I think it’s because of regulation that forbids those with money to build more housing. This is the root cause. Then people with money have to compete for housing with those without and those without end up homeless. SF could have become a utopian city with the amount of wealth creation but liberal policies ruined the city
No, its the existing residents of the city not the tech economy. Go to NYC and see how a city should be organized. You can find a million dollar condo in Manhattan or $700 room in Queens. And you can get from that shitty room to the condo in under an hour via the train for dirt cheap. SF/bay area is a shit show because of virtue signalling "liberal" residents who think tech people should support homelessness problem that _they_ created and exacerbate while they hold onto their shitty property from the 70s that now sells for millions.
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.
How about something like SB50 that died a horrible death in the state assembly because rich neighborhoods don’t want more density around train stations? We can’t have it both ways.
Limousine liberals and their NIMBY-ism
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.
Seattle is next
As long as there’s SF, Seattle is safe. It’s just a question of <bus ticket to SF price> * <homeless population of Seattle> bucks and Seattle is homeless free.
Yes it is although it has one distinct advantage that stems the flow: crappy weather
All the money in the world wont save sf from its stupid politics which have clearly not worked. Startups need to stop going there, I don’t understand how supposedly smart people start their companies there.
