If you’re going to San Francisco
You’re gonna meet some mental people there
For real!............................
Yes.
San Francisco spends millions on the homeless every year. They provide shelters that have beds, food, washer & dryer facilities, recreation, telephone access, and human assistance for psychological and medical needs. Not only that, SF runs a vanpool service that picks up homeless and transports them from and to shelters. I've seen the inside of these shelters, they're full of high and nutty homeless. SF also provides free needles and other drug materials so they can continue getting high. Throwing money at the homeless doesn't work.
What works is to clear the streets constantly, tossing out homeless debris, to send the message that they can't just plop down anywhere and impact residents. Move them along and force them to get help and pick themselves up. Otherwise they multiply like the vermin most of them are.
Up close and personal.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So, the oppressed gay teen victims come there not to ask for jobs from gay-owned businesses, but to do drugs and lie around in tents?
And knee-high rubber boots with steel plates in the soles.
And a Haz-Mat suit!.....................
Just doing jail time only costs the county and state money; I say we put these “poor unfortunates” to work.
Put them on chain gangs cleaning up the streets and highways, once that job is done to our satisfaction, put them to work on patching potholes, repairing roads and repaving!
If my tax dollars are going to feed these useless eaters, I say we get our monies worth!
Unhoused. What BS. They’re vagrant junkies.
Frisco was designated for mentally ill for a reason.
You are correct, but the ACLU killed that over 30 years ago.
More like billions. Almost a billion (800-900 million) in “official” homeless programs from City Hall, plus police, medical, state, federal and private programs.
And still nothing is better.
Part of the problem is there are a lot of “iron rice bowls” in the politicized bureaucracies and government-grant supported NGOs.
I dont know about the gay ones specifically, but most of them, yes, very much so. And I doubt the ones on Castro street are particularly “gay”. When I walked through there in July this year they seemed like the same sorts of characters you see everywhere else in SF or LA.
“We’re just seeing constant vandalism, constant drug use in public, people passed out on the sidewalk, people having psychotic breakdowns, and it’s just not something a small-business owner should have to deal with,” Karraker said.
Sounds like the daily White House press briefing.
Click and read:
We lived in San Francisco for over thirty years, raised our kids there, and still own our house there (kids have it now).
I know SF forwards and backwards. I used to take the streetcar through there to Market St. to go to work for most of those 30 years (Castro or Church St Muni).
What I am doubting is that the “homeless” (ie bums and addicts) on Castro are particularly “gay”, which is what the “activists” were quibbling about.
