I wonder when the SF liberal elite are going to open their homes to the homeless?

It was when the city government gave a $400 a month stiped for all homeless that they all flocked to SF. They cancelled that program, but now they’re stuck with them.

Illustrates that the “liberals” really have no clue about the concept of “incentive”.

It’s the core of why they promote stupid policies.

Do what other cities do... give them one-way bus tickets to anywhere! ;)

The homeless industry in Sanctuary Francisco would require that the bus tickets be round-trip.

Does this mean that the Tree Guy at Pier 39 has a cell phone now? What’s his number?

These days, the streets of San Francisco resemble the streets of Calcutta. +++++++++++++++ I moved away from SF years ago after I couldn't take it anymore. Since then, at every opportunity, I refer homeless and illegals to SF since it is a sanctuary city as well. I'm sure hundreds of some of those thousands of homeless and illegals are my referrals. Berkeley also has streets paved in gold and they hand out free food, medical services and free drugs to all who want them. They also have free housing for illegals, maid service in Church dorms and even free transportation to and from places of work for those who need it. Just tell em that Joan sent you and you'll be treated like royalty.

In a sense they’ve been doing it for years. They live in the filth that they created. They deserve the results.
For my part I’ll refer homeless and illegals there at any opportunity to do so. I lived there for over 30 years and moved when I retired. I just couldn’t take it anymore.
When you start tolerating the bums and illegals more than your city government it’s time to move.

“never ending quest to tackle homelessness”

Doesn’t seem as if they are trying to tackle it, but rather enable it.

[mvpel]

The problem is that in most cities across the country, the one-way bus tickets are to San Francisco.

[TSgt]

This is an incredible out of the box idea! The bums er I mean homeless could setup PayPal accounts and solicit donations via email!

Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.

[Secret Agent Man]

I’d say they need to open the mayor’s mansion and the homeless director’s residence to the homeless first, then start with the rest of the elected officials in SF until they get so pissed that they actually DO something EFFECTIVE about the situation.

I am sure they’d not do the right thing, but probably get a bunch of buses and drop them off in LA or Sacramento somewhere...

The new concierge service to provided to homeless is expected to get better organized.

Is this the guy who hides behind a tree branch and jumps out and scares tourists at fisherman’s warf?

I love how packs of people will stand across the street just to watch him scare people!

From resort town to town of last resort in one swell foop.

Same routine, but I don't know if it's the same guy. I was out there in the late 80's and saw him at work. A homeless looking black man.
