San Francisco family tired of hobo mess

"We go out to drive the kids to school," he says, "and there's human poop between the cars."

There must be many who are as fed up as Kiely, because politicians like Newsom are taking a tough stand. In an election year, you can bet he wouldn't go out on an unpopular limb. Now it will be interesting to see how the Board of Supervisors, traditionally progressive and more pro-homeless people, will react...

Socialism sounds great until it affects you personally - then it is not so funny...

[Tzimisce]

That’s really racist and greedy of them.

[TexasCajun]

I can’t imagine living in San Francisco.

Hobo’s .... how quaint.

File this under “chickens coming home to roost.”

Hobo’s .... how quaint.

I think they put a 'b' where an 'm' should be.

[null and void]

Oooooo! Oooooo! OOOOOO! *jumping up and down* I know! I know!!!

Let's raise the amount of money the City pays people to be homeless from $500.00/mo to $1,000.00/mo!

“there’s human poop between the cars”

But if it’s from homeless people, certainly it doesn’t stink!

[SIDENET]

SF will just post signs:

"Pick up after your hobo!"

San Franciscans have the Government that they want and deserve. I wish them the best.

Kiely insists "we're not some white, yuppie parents saying we can't take this." In fact, he says, they donate to programs for homeless people at Glide Memorial Methodist Church and the food bank at St. Anthony Dining Room. But he's finally saying "enough is enough."

Feeding homeless people is like feeding pigeons. It just brings more of them, and annoys the hell out of the neighbors.

“Hobo’s .... how quaint.”

Yeah, it’s amazing how Newspeak has bastardized the language. When Dhims want to exploit them for political purposes, they’re “homeless,” “unemployed,” “victims,” etc. But when they’re crapping in your parking space they’re “hobos” or “bums.”

[AZLiberty]

Give a man a fish ... and tomorrow there will be two men waiting for you to give them fish.

[Hacklehead]

I expect the SF board of supervisors to solve this problem by requiring SF homeowners to allow the bums into their homes to use the bathrooms.

City Slogan of San Francisco: "Got Any Change?"

When I lived in Seattle, one of said cities countless derelicts once told me flat out that he "needs money to buy some crack."

[Mr. Jeeves]

Looks like the other thread got pulled? As I said over there, even San Francisco liberals are starting to realize they have been tricked into financially supporting the Homeless Advocacy Industry (tm), and all that tax money they spent went toward doubling the problem instead of solving it.

San Francisco... it’s the $hit.

Sad irony is the families are crying out loud because of the bums but they say nothing to protest the sex-fest that is staged on public streets 2 - 3x year.

The last time I checked the city isn’t walled off(should be tho), they can leave anytime. I bet they can find a much nicer and cheaper house in the midwest. let the degenerates keep SF
