In typical liberal fashion they make excuses for inexcusable and deplorable and detrimental behavior instead of dealing with it from the beginning, then by the time they finally realize the folly of their insanity and decide to do something about it, its too late and the problem is too big to be effectively handled.
San Francisco... they place to go if you love the smell of urine and used condoms in the morning.
This is exactly it, and a lot of San Francisco liberal voters who thought they were being kind to the less fortunate at the ballot box are starting to realize they've been had by this troupe of con artists. The big problem is that the local DA's office and the judiciary are full of Leftist ideologues who like seeing bums all over the place because they think it's a commentary on the evils of global capitalism and it furthers the goals of the Revolution. Any attempt to pass no-sit laws will run into ferocious activist lawyers who will be well-paid to defend the miscreats, a DA who won't prosecute, and judges who won't convict - or will throw out the laws on a technicality.
The real solution would be allowing fed-up citizens to take whatever measures they deemed necessary to get the bums off their property and away from their person. But you can imagine how such citizens would be treated by the aformentioned corrupted judicial system.
Arrest them for violating the sit-lie law. Make them serve a mandatory 40 hours of community service cleaning up the mess their ‘comrades’ have caused. Repeat as often as necessary.
The last time I was in SF, some homeless guy decided to take a leak on the sidewalk as I was walking by.
Considering how the City of SF feels about our military and this little incident, I won’t bother going back.
$50 a day pays for education, an apartment and medical insurance?
The sad thing is that the homeless are probably more normal than the the housed residents of SF.

But isnt’ homelessness just another lifestyle choice. Aren’t some people born with a tendency toward unemployability, attraction to addicting substances and inability to handle life’s routines? Aren’t we being intolerant and homelessphobic if we do not fully embrace and accept our homeless brothers and sisters? Are we turning our backs on the truth of global warming ( praise and blessing upon it) if we demand the use of precious resources to build shelters for these people? After all each shelter will have a negative effect on energy stores. Both in construction and during use.
I say do not think of them as homeless but as urban living artscapes. A happening showing the gritty reality of the 21st century. A statement of the failed policies of globalization. A condemnation of man’s indifference to the Gitmo torture chambers and a demand for a National Che Guevera Day.
Besides SF should just give it up. Anything they do will be overturned by the 9th Circuit Court of Surreals.
PS. We might also send Mexico 2 homeless for every 1 illegal immigrant. Seems fair.
“The real solution would be allowing fed-up citizens to take whatever measures they deemed necessary to get the bums off their property and away from their person.”
I would never allow my wife or older kids to go anywhere without a fresh can of pepper spray and I would use it everytime one of these guys came near me. You get a couple thousand fed up locals doing that and before long the bums would get the message.
“Homeless” is PC-speak.
They are bums.”

You’re too kind....
they are worthless eaters.
Not such a bad idea. I'd bet that SF could send the bums to Mexico with $250 a month and they could live in clover stoned on anything they want while the city would save money hosing a destructive bureaucracy.
It would be an export with a positive cash flow and social benefits to boot. Heck, if the parasite bureaucrats complain, we could send them down there too to feed off their hosts for less than we're paying them now.
After all, it's a free trade zone.
You're right! They're not really people, but living metaphors.
;^)
Sure, they are homeless. What the hell do they know.
All you have to do is offer $50 a day and the all the homeless in a 5 state region will settle in San Francisco.
They can crap on the streets in peace and harmony with the flower children!
“$50 a day pays for education, an apartment and medical insurance?”
No but it does pay for 2-3 rocks or a whole lot of MD20/20 or Night Train.
Mmmmmm. MD20/20. :)
