So sick of the term “homeless” or “homelessness” being used to describe these situations. With very few exceptions, these people are drug addicts and/or criminals or mentally ill. Giving them a home doesn’t solve the problem. It’s not a housing issue.

San Fran Nan has been in office for decades
and her home town has gotten worse.

How does she have the Chutpah to run again for
office?

Instead of her vendetta against Trump she should
spend her time working on economic developement
and drug treatment for her homeless.

Hey Nan how about an ice cream party at your house
and while your gone give a homeless bum a place
to spend the night.

The reason these people are on the streets is that back in the day the '60s and '70s "activists" got the mental hospitals shut down for "humanitarian" reasons. Since those people will never admit to being wrong about anything and will fight tooth-and-nail to keep it that way, we'll probably not see any improvement in the homeless issue until these now-geriatric "activists" mercifully croak.

Yes it does, in fact many. First homeless get off the street so maybe tourists return to be robbed....”gee Martha it looked safe in this nice area, look at the expensive homes”. Next, the homeless can steal from the home owner. Keeps the crime down in the stores! Third, maybe the homeowner just gives them the $60 a day in order to not have their items stolen and pawned, another crime prevention win. Fourth the homeowner better feed their new “guest”, he’s going to be using the kitchen anyway! Fifth the streets will be cleaner, the mess will be in someone’s home, out of sight.

So the load on police drops, public crime drops, the streets are cleaner and the budgetary load on the City is reduced. This is a win, win, win, win for the City and a big loss for the homeowner! Oh how long before a judge rules homeowners cannot evict their new permanent “guests”?

I hope that none of the homeowners decide to pay the “guests” for helping out around the house. Now an employee / employer relationship has been created and more City laws apply! Does the City have a minimum wage, health insurance and paid vacation law? Welcome to San Francisco Suckers! Forget moving, you are now an employer and would need to give the required notice of closing your facility and continue to pay....... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Some City official must love The Eagles..... Hotel California........ But they can never leave.....

They used to be known as “Bums, Tramps, Hobos”. Vagrancy laws were designed to keep them out of the cities.

When vagrancy laws were done away with they flooded the air conditioned libraries and free Museums in the hot summers and heated in winters, driving out many patrons of such places.
The big library in Tulsa had to close a floor due to them bringing in bedbugs.
