San Francisco: wealthy opponents of new shelter claim homeless are bad for environment
UK Guardian ^ | July 11, 2019 | Vivian Ho

The wealthy San Francisco residents who launched a crowdfunding campaign to block construction of a new homeless shelter in their waterfront neighborhood are employing a new tactic: arguing that homeless people are bad for the environment.

In a lawsuit filed against the city of San Francisco and the California State Lands Commission, the residents called for the project to undergo an environmental review before breaking ground.

“This project will have a significant effect on the environment due to these unusual circumstances, including by attracting additional homeless persons, open drug and alcohol use, crime, daily emergency calls, public urination and defecation, and other nuisances,” the lawsuit states.

Let’s face it. Most “progressives” would gladly sacrifice a sizable number of human beings if it meant they can continue their lifestyle of fresh air bicycling and virtue signaling.

And, the irony is that the politics of Western Civilization is dictated by just such hypocrites as these. Sweden. Germany. France. The United States.

They dictate and conspire to overwhelm the common man with the unwashed, unwanted savages of the third world while they themselves continue to live in safety and comfort in their mansions and on their yachts.

Meanwhile, we have no one, absolutely no one who is trying to protect us.

Clearly they are better than we are. We should give up all our individual rights and burn the Constitution. We are not capable of running our own lives. And we are not compassionate compared to these paragons of virtue.

😂

With the continued influx of hundreds of thousands of illegals - I don’t see how California’s economy or environmental systems survive under the load.

Picture “ the big one” disrupting the water supply of SoCal for a couple of months. Coupled with EBTs going down, I think we’d see a true picture of just who lives there.

We need an EIR on federal immigration and asylum policy. What’s the carbon footprint of an illegal alien living in the US versus the same person staying home in Central America or wherever?

“They dictate and conspire to overwhelm the common man with the unwashed, unwanted savages of the third world while they themselves continue to live in safety and comfort in their mansions and on their yachts.”

Very true. And they, collaborating with each other, hold down the entire population beneath them. That’s socialism, isn’t it?

Anyone with some free time should google "Commonwealth Day School" and "Cambridge".

A hint: It's a saga that features Harvard's elite,little black school kids and a neighborhood petition which was signed by Laurence Tribe and Julia Child (among others).

If it wasn't so nauseating it would be comical.
