San Francisco is being sued by a law school and residents and businesses in the inner-city Tenderloin District who argue sidewalks are “unsanitary, unsafe, and often impassable" as homeless people crowd streets amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The number of tents and makeshift structures in the Tenderloin has tripled since January, as homeless shelters are forced to operate at low capacity in order to enforce stringent social distancing requirements, reports say.
The federal lawsuit, filed last week in part by the University of California Hastings College of Law, does not seek financial damages but instead demands the city clean up streets littered with drug needles and human waste. The litigants are also seeking help for people living in sidewalk tents, saying they are at increased risk of COVID-19.

San Francisco should force 15 law students from the school to be responsible a single block in the TL. They can organize shift’s amongst themselves and get school credit for “community” organizing, outreach and service.
I just gasp when I think of how fulfilled those students will be!
What’s the problem? This is what most of these people voted for...
“Ya get what you vote for.”

And haven't they heard that cleaning the streets and sidewalks is racist?
To be sure it’s Trump’s fault and not Pelosi’s.
Shut up and eat your peas, San Francisco.
San Fran used to be one of the most magnificent cities in America. It is shocking that people sh*t on it. It’s barbaric. Socialism is touted by the left and lauded and we see the result and they say it’s just not complete yet because of us.
i had been under impression that damages in federal court means money, else dismissal due to lack of standing.
Used to be. I grew up there. When it was a Republican-run city. In the 1950s the blue-collar neighborhoods were clean and fun. Streets were relatively safe and parked cars were few. Many people (including my family) did not lock the front door during the day. Kids were free to come and go outside and play in the streets.
But now... those same neighborhoods are congested with traffic, and parking is non-existent to the point that residents park on the sidewalks. Not just in their driveways, but on the sidewalks parallel to homes. Too many adult residents per home, rent is high and multiple families packed into single-family homes. Homes have iron security bars over street-level doors and windows. Latinos have taken over some of those blue-collar neighborhoods and ruined them - graffiti and murals everywhere and it looks like Tijuana. Main commercial streets that were glorious with big cinemas and soda fountain shops are now littered with sidewalk vegetable and fruit stands, the cinemas long abandoned and turned into parking lots or cheap shops. The homeless aren't here, they're mostly in the downtown areas like the Tenderloin and Civic Center.
Some former blue-collar neighborhoods went upscale, and are very nice now. Homes that sold for $10,000 in the 1950s now sell for $2 million and up. You won't find the poor latinos living there, mostly retired or techie whites, and no homeless.
So some areas are nice, but the formerly magnificent downtown is a disaster - due to 50 years of liberal policies.
Interesting.
Sacramento has been cleaning up homeless tent squatter areas during the pandemic. There are places under various highway overcrossing bridges that were lined all up and down both sidewalks that just vanished overnight in Sacramento. I don’t know where they are moving the homeless. And they are still in the area, so some returned or were new or were gone when the tents were cleared out. Or maybe the cops only removed the tents and belongings but not the homeless themselves. I don’t know. But I see a lot less homeless camps out and around in my area of Sacramento in the past 2 months. Maybe they are all down at the river.
Maybe that is why so many homeless tents are gone in Sacramento. Maybe they are really are moving them into all the Motel 6s in the area.
The fabulous Fox’s demolition was a grim harbinger
I love SF and it’s really insane how it’s devolved
Last time in (Nov 18) I was shocked to the core
Stayed in Wharf area going to mission area for
a UCSF project
Thankfully avoided being near some
job action where screaming union drones banged on
pots and pans 24x7
Bums sleeping on every streetcar stop and
every BART train, shiite tracked everywhere
the smell of ganja everywhere
Civility in short supply from every freak known to man
At least I made it to the House of Prime Rib
and took in a hockey game
Yep! I watched "How the West was Won" there in the early 1960s. Huge glorious screen that seemed to stretch horizontally for a block! They don't make theaters like the Fox theater anymore, it was a grand palace. Now replaced by several skyscrapers that channel wind down onto Market Street. Also loved going to the New Mission, the Grand, and the Crown theaters on Mission Street all within a couple blocks of each other. Seemed like dozens of theaters in the city, now most are gone.
As for the House of Prime Rib, yummy, it's hell trying to navigate Van Ness Avenue with the street all chopped up by construction crews, not going there anymore. Embarcadero is nice but I'm sure the liberals are going to ruin that by moving homeless there. They ruin everything.
