San Francisco airport sees surge of homeless people seeking shelter
NY Post ^ | 17 April 2019 | Janine Puhak

Earlier this week, Fox 2 KTVU reported that SFO is experiencing a recent “surge” of homeless people taking refuge in the busy airport; many are said to arrive in the middle of the night via BART trains south from the city, as per the San Francisco Chronicle.

“I mean, there’s just nowhere else for people to go,” Freidenbach told KTVU. “So, we’re going to see them at the airport, we’re going to see them on the busses we’re going to see them out. There’s just literally nowhere else for people to go.”

Though the exact impact of the critical homelessness situation on San Francisco’s billion-dollar tourism profits remain unclear, things are reportedly not looking good. In June, a major medical association withdrew from hosting its annual convention in San Francisco, claiming its members no longer felt safe there. The cancellation of that one five-day trade show represented a loss of $40 million to the local economy.

I thought about
“high on a pill, they defecate”

But I didn’t want to paint all the illegals as drug users.

Even better, they might have a few of those grounded 737 MAX aircraft, that have no place to go for a few more months.

In the streets of San Francisco
You’re gonna meet
Schizophrenic people there

Good one.
If I may add something, with your kind permission:

If you go
to San Francisco
Be sure to bring
a gun held at your side

Or when you go to San Francisco
a coroner’s van
Will be your final ride.

True. Boeing took it as a bad sign when they noticed lots of birds deciding to make long term seasonal nests on the 737 MAX wings.

Gee, I wonder who those illegals bussed into Cali's sanctuary cities will vote for in 2020 -- President Trump's party, or the party who lies about welcoming them in?

*********************************

Oh, don’t be silly, Sunken.

You and I both know they’ll vote for whomever fills out their ballot decides they’ll vote for and for as many times as that person (those persons) decide to fill out that (those) ballot(s).

Seen it. Commented on it. :)

That video chronicles why I left there after 46 years of calling it my home - and why two of my three adult daughters left in the last two years, one of which lived a couple of blocks off Market in Ballard.

The city is richer in money, but poorer in quality of life, than it was when I left. It’s become kinda like Al Pacino in Scarface. He ended up with a pretty nice house, but life sucked and it didn’t end well.

Great point. I think his life declined later, sort of like the Blues Brothers “”So? I lied.” “You don’t lie to a nun.”

TSA should love this.

It will make it impossible to find the lone wolf terrorist hanging around outside the secure zone.

Imagine if the homeless find their way to baggage claim and pick up passengers' bags before they make their way down from the gates?
