Wealthy 'NIMBY' libs in Pelosi's SF district raise $60G to fight center for city's homeless
Fox News ^ | March 29 2019 | Lukas Mikelionis

Rich San Francisco residents in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s congressional district have collected more than $60,000 after starting an online crowdsourcing campaign to wage a legal challenge against a proposed center for the city's homeless.

The campaign, called “Safe Embarcadero for All,” was launched March 20 after San Francisco Mayor London Breed proposed a 200-bed homeless Navigation Center in the city’s most desirable location, the Embarcadero along the coast of San Francisco Bay, earlier this month.

“The planned location for Mayor Breed's #megashelter is home to thousands of families, visited by millions of tourists and at the center of some of San Francisco's most iconic events - including the San Francisco Marathon, San Francisco Giants stadium and on one of the busiest bicyclist paths in the city,” reads the site posted by the group opposing the construction.

Tallahassee suffered for a long time with a homeless shelter downtown. The crime rate was horrendous. Finally, the businesses convinced the city to move it. They moved it to a heavily student area because students don’t vote. I know two university cops and they say the predation on students by the homeless, which never used to happen, is now a daily occurrence. Wherever they are, the homeless disrupt business and civic life. Calling them “homeless” is a nice misnomer. They are mentally ill people. Like a drowning man, they attempt to use and destroy any who attempt to help them.

I think wind farms and all the other dem schemes should be carried out near dem homes. Make them walk the walk.

It's not a "homeless" problem.

It is a drug and crime problem.

Same for Seattle, Portland Oregon, Baltimore, Detroit, Camden NJ, and all the other places.

if it was simply a matter of money, I would contribute to a crowdsource for buying the property next to Nancy’s and moving the homeless there. I’d bet if that could happen with enough money - nationwide, they’d hit their goal in no time.

Seems I can’t hardly go out to the stores and gas stations without someone hitting me up for some $$. Some even attach a dollar amount to their requests. Sick of it— GTHOH. Get a job.

Bums are a problem in the so called Free World. Hitler got rid of the heroin problem. And of course Hitler got rid of lots of other problems. The more benefits are given to the bums, the more bums there will be. The answer appears to be to give as few benefits as possible and arrest and jail the bums to get them to leave the area as soon as they possibly can.

If I were King, the SF "Homeless" would be housed in tents on the front lawns of the SF Liberal Ruling Elite, and I wold take their front doors so the bums had bathroom access.

They should build walled/fenced homeless camps in the Mojave desert. Anyone found guilty of some "homeless" type crime would be sentenced to 6 months in the Mojave. They could dry out, sober up, and receive counseling too.

What moron thought relocating them to the Embarcadero was a good idea. Better to relocate them outside the gates of Pelosi's walled Napa Valley estate first.

People seem to be appearing out of thin air to beg for a few bucks all over the place.

I go very few places and order just about everything just to avoid those people.

“NIMBY” doesn’t seem to quite cover the attitude here. We need a new word. Something combining “NIMBY” and “chutzpah.”

Place them along the California and Mass shorelines.

Anyone with some free time should google "Commonwealth Day School" & "Cambridge".You'll get a number of hits...many from the Harvard Crimson (yes,*that* Harvard)... telling of the breathtaking racism of some of Harvard's most "progressive" and "sensitive" folks when confronted with the prospect of a school attended mainly by black kids appearing in their neighborhood.

Among the many well known racists who opposed the school were Julia Child ("bon appetite",indeed) and Laurence Tribe (who never quite made it to SCOTUS).

It's fun reading...unless you have a full stomach.
