“Mayor London Breed and other supporters say the move — known as conservatorship — is necessary to help people who are often homeless, addicted to drugs and have a mental illness, making them a danger to themselves.”
Translation: We have to exert control over homeless because our tax base is moving out of the city, our tourism is suffering and we are tired of stepping in crap.

Bingo! The same people that stopped the institutionalizing of mentally ill people in the 70s because it violated their rights. Can’t wait to see how this plays out.
Read that sentence again, FRiend. Do you honestly think they are going to limit this to only the "homeless"? Remember what is being done to the second amendment rights of seniors on Soc Sec who have others take care of their affairs. The gov't checks off the "mental illness" box with that one. Need to take heart, diabetes, etc. medication daily? That takes care of "addiction." This is the nose of a very BIG camel peeking under the tent.
I understand that there is a humongous problem with addiction and mental illness, but do you really trust left wing (or any) POLITICIAN to make the call?
