“Unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable,” said Supervisor Hillary Ronen. “We're losing tourists. We're losing conventions in San Francisco. All of this is happening because we aren't addressing the root cause, which is we need more temporary beds for street homelessness.”

Ehhhhh... that's not the root cause, Ronen.

But don't worry, she has a plan:

“We need to find a source of revenue,” said Ronen. “Whether that's putting something on the ballot to raise business taxes or taking a look at our general fund and re-allocating money towards that purpose and taking it away from something else in the city.”

Because throwing money at the problem has worked so BRILLIANTLY before. /s

The more money you spend on something, the more of it you'll have.

Good Lord, you believe that? More beds for the homeless does what? You guessed it? Brings in MORE homeless. As Rush says, “when you pay for something, you get more of it.”

And she proposes reducing other city budget items to deal with the homeless? Great plan. Reduce fire and police protection; reduce street repair. Who needs those outdated cable cars, anyway? We have bums, and bums, and bums, and more bums we need to take care of.

Sick, sick, sick “progressive.”
