The ‘elites’ in Venezuela do very well too... the ‘people’ are starving.
I noticed last time I was in SF (and unfortunately in the downtown area) - there are spikes all along the outside bottom ledge of the windows around the first floor of government buildings, including city hall.
The windows are recessed and they don’t want any homeless setting up camp in “their space.”
Better for the homeless to go an invade YOUR space.
I also noticed many have been driven out of the financial - and even tourist districts (apparently they’ve been pushed into the Haight) - San Francisco is as lefty as can be...except when it comes to the all mighty dollar, i.e., lucrative overseas business and tourism!
