The urban campers, most with addiction and mental health issues, would be provided with free delivered meals and other services.

Where are the *free* meals for the tax payers of the city?

They treat the derelicts better than any other group of people.

Are they doing this for the blacks they claim they are for?

In Austin, it seems every overpass is the roof for a homeless camp.

The problem isn’t as bad as it is in California. Not yet, but they’ll get there one day.

I hope they’re going to supply their drugs and booze also!!! After all, if they can’t live in a hotel any longer, the city has to make some concessions to them!

Yet the dumb cucks in San Francisco keep voting Democrat like submissives in a gimp suit taking a beating and being anally raped.

As I understand it, they put them in some pretty fancy hotels, on account of them having no customers because of the coronavirus shutdowns.
I'd imagine even the $260 was a heavily discounted price.

I think it’s cheaper to stay in the Biltmore.

“Liberal women are the ones destroying this country.”

That’s a VERY strong statement. One I AGREE with 100%! :)

The citizens of San Francisco could always send the homeless to live at the Pelosi mansion.

After blocking any exits from the Bridges out of the city and put Trump Walls south of the poopy city so no one can leave.

Also, seal up/close any BART tracks into and from Poopy City!

If that happens Poopy Pelosi might lose her district for a double win.

“...turn the whole city into a network of homeless encampments....”

Rehab the camps where they interned the Japanese during WW2 and stick them in there...permanently.

“Every homeless person in the country could head to San Francisco.”

We got a mess of ‘em in our little town we’d be glad to ship out there.

It would be a good way for us to clean out our jails too. If our criminals are out there, it is not a risk to us.

San Fagcisco Voters deserve all the misery their Democrat masters can buy with their tax money.

The urban campers...

This is my pet peeve. They are not campers. Camping is a recreational activity taken on voluntarily for fun and relaxation. Stop calling them campers.

When these "8,000" residents aren't camping out in city sanctioned enclaves, they are roaming the streets and breaking into cars for pawn-able items.

There are way more than 8,000 piles of human excrement deposited daily on the sidewalks of The City.

That is $190 million a year. For San Francisco...

Chump change to California.

Can't they get some state aid for that? They can take it from the repair and maintenance budget for PG&E (the power grid...).

Progressives, the enemy of civilization everywhere...

It is only $215 per year per resident of San Fran... but not all residents pay taxes, even if very few of them are children in San Fran.

Hmm.. $190 million a year for 8,000 total "homeless".

That is $23,750 per year per "homeless" person.

Cheapskates...

It probably cost the "homeless" at least 100K per year just to feed their drug habits!

No wonder they are forced to steal stuff...

/S
