So my hubby asked them did you see what they did with the people or where they were all of the homeless? They said when you walked down the clean streets you just had to look in between all the streets and see that they were stuffed in alleys! You can see them all over just not on the main streets.
Bas-turds
Why don't they repurpose the island of Alcatraz? Seems obvious.
They would never be able to get past the stigma.
I disagree.
I saw an interview a number of years ago with the female black mayor of SFO who said they were spending $280 million per year on 'helping the homeless'. You know, providing outhouses, clean needles and alcohol wipes. paying for laborers to do poop removal and such... Not actually doing something to remove them or get them help.
If they told the homeless this: Leave SFO, go to jail or be ferried to the newly refurbished Alcatraz 'Get On Your Feet/Back to Work Residence', they'd have to choose one.
Remember, Alcatraz used to be a prison that housed 1500 inmates. It had a mess hall and a factory where the inmates worked to earn their keep making some manufactured product to generate income.
Either way, it'd get them off the streets, stop the drug traffickers from trafficking fentanyl and heroin to them, and I bet the filth removal and crime reduction would be well worth it.
I'll never understand why anyone at this point continues to live there of their own free will.
Scenery be hanged. No view or climate is worth looking down to see a dirty needle in your toe, and human waste beneath your foot.
Miraculously Seattle managed to solve their homeless and graffiti problem too during the All-star game. Within 24 hours, somehow, they all returned.
Up there they call Seattle "free-attle".
At its current trajectory, it'll soon be "death-rattle."
In San Diego, we had a marathon over the summer that winded through downtown. All the homeless people were moved from the streets on the marathon route to other streets. I'd figured that San Francisco had done something similar.
