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.

There was a Matt Damon Jodie Foster flick with this rich few, poor masses theme . It was a dud, but there was a much better Star Trek TOS episode following the same theme.And of course the dopey Hunger Games flix. Of course none of these envisioned the Left as being the rich guys.

Shelter? WTH? Why do they need to build any shelters? California is the hotbed of pushing the socialist/commie agenda down all of America’s throat so let them put their money where their ‘agenda’ is and go full blown Dr. Zhivago on housing..............................

Lots of mansions there can house a lot of people they are welcoming in. How many rooms does Nancy Pelosi have in her house?

"Petition to recall Dictator Newsom!!"

Cali has successfully done a recall, so this might work?

As much as people were disappointed with Shwartzeneger(sp?), the most important part of his election was that the people of California actually did recall their governor. (The rats were smugly certain that it could never happen.)

But then again, vote fraud has increased exponentially since that time so maybe it won't work?

But it's at least somewhat a relief to see people trying to do something.
