San Francisco homeless crisis worries some attendees at JPMorgan summit: 'The Bill Clinton of cities'
Fox News ^ | January 16, 2020 | Edmund DeMarche

JPMorgan is holding its annual health care conference in San Francisco this week. But some attendees -- when gazing out the windows of their $2,000-a-night hotel rooms or past the doors of another champagne-infused party -- have reportedly noticed the city has lost ground in its fight against homelessness.

“I feel unsafe walking around at night, especially as a young woman,” Selin Kurnaz, a co-founder of Massive Bio, told Bloomberg.

Other executives at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference have gone on social media to voice their concerns about the city's decline and have posted about watching city officials clean human excrement off the streets.

The event -- which is expected to bring in about $51 million for the city known for its tech startups and venture capital dollars -- draws business leaders from across the globe and is considered a "mecca" for industry insiders.

One CEO from a Colorado-based genetic engineering company told the news outlet that the city “has squandered its place in the sun.”

“San Francisco is the Bill Clinton of cities,” John Price, CEO of Greffex Inc., said. “It squandered itself with its flaws.”

Why anyone would still have a convention in Poop City is beyond me. There are so many cities competing for convention business.

and $2,000-a-night hotel rooms ?

You can get yourself something pretty swanky in say, Wheeling, WV for less than $200 per night. Minus the poop on the street.

If these “BIO” company representatives were germaphobes before the convention, I bet some of them are now.

Exactly! It has nothing to do with the price of housing. Except for the mentally ill, these people choose to live this way because society tolerates it and actually funds it. I think the ACLU should be required to clean up the feces.

The Bill Clinton of cities means it’s full of s**t.

In the 70s, 80s and 90s I sold for tech companies that were headquartered in SF or Silicon Valley and it was a great city to visit.

The queers were there, but not obtrusive, and the druggies were confined and not living on the street.

The streets were as safe as any other major city, and you had to know that if you were drunk and staggering down the street at 2:00 AM, you were a target.

Staying at any downtown hotel was very safe {except from yourself} and any trouble you got into, there was a 95% chance that you were part of the problem.

I wouldn't visit SF on a free pass, if I want shit on my shoes, I'll just visit my friend's horse farm {but I'll watch where I walk}.

News flash: City “Officials” are not cleaning poop off the streets. They have lower paid people doing it.

Well, SF had something to squander. All Clinton squandered was himself as an effective grifter.
