>>1352112Not who you've been arguing with, btw.
I've lived in California my entire life and within 120 miles of The City the entire time and of course have been there. You have to admit there's a homelessness problem, and big dense cities like San Francisco attract them because there's more opportunity for panhandling, more outreach programs (soup kitchens and so on) and believe it or not a larger support mechanism from the rest of the 'homeless community' there. The whole 'human waste' problem in the streets is in part due to the overall gentrification of the city, disdaining, eschewing, and discouraging homeless people from being in those areas (because it makes the area less attractive to The Rich, and lowers property values) but also, to be fair, because not all homeless people are mentally/emotionally stable, have a reasonable sense of 'boundaries', or show respect for public spaces and public works; there's been efforts to provide safe, clean, working public restrooms that are open to all 24 hours a day, but disappointingly some homeless (ostensibly; could be a False Flag operation) make them unsanitary and unusable or outright vandalize them. Gets very expensive very quick. Plus there are too many homeless overall, the city and NGOs can't keep up regardless.
BTW San Francisco is an example of what life would be like if the fringe elements of /n/ had their way and we had no suburbs anymore and people didn't own cars and were forced onto public transit. Imagine SF's problems multiplied by 100 or even 1000. It would be utter chaos and a living Hell.
