San Francisco has canceled plans to move hundreds of homeless people to a large indoor space in a convention center after 70 people at a shelter tested positive for coronavirus. It will move homeless people to hotels instead — or leave them in tents.
The Daily Mail reported Saturday:
In the biggest outbreak at a homeless shelter in California to date, San Francisco’s mayor announced Friday that 70 people have tested positive for the coronavirus, infuriating advocates who had sought more aggressive action to protect homeless people.
Mayor London Breed said that the outbreak involving 68 residents and two shelter staff was expected.
‘We knew that those had the potential of being hot spots, so we have been preparing for that,’ Breed said of the homeless shelters. ‘We were on top of it.’
The news angered homeless advocates and members of the Board of Supervisors who have been pleading with her administration to commandeer empty hotel rooms and quickly move homeless people from streets and shelters into them.
Mayor Breed, like Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, has been trying to move homeless people off the streets in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. However, not all accommodations are alike.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines warn that it may be easier to maintain “social distancing” outdoors than in an indoor “congregate” setting. Unless individual housing units are available, the CDC warns, moving the homeless indoors could be counterproductive.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported last week that there had been more than a dozen coronavirus cases in the city’s single-room “residential” hotels, where occupants share common living areas.

OUTSTANDING! Let them die next to their piles of poop!
Make Princess Nancy come down and personally help out
This is disgusting. They will cause millions of dollars to the hotels before this is over.
sf city officials were on top of it, which is why they planned the move and then cancelled the move. it is all making sense now...
Yup! She’s hiding in her $100000000 estate in Sonoma County.
I don’t think the city officials grasp the legal implications. Once they check the ‘idiot’ in and they cause $10,000 worth of damage to the room....the ‘idiot’ will disappear and the city is on the tab for the damage, and the lost income. So if the city hires up lawyers to fight this for six months....that’s six months of lost income added into this, plus the lawyer cost. Just on one single room....you could be talking about $150,000 for legal fees, damage, and lost income. Multiply that by a twenty rooms, and the city is out 3-million for twenty of these dimwits.
pelosi’s dream, is it not?
feces, laden with coronavirus, floating down every
gutter, every sidewalk - the DNC way.
Sanctuary City ? Are these folks illegals ?
They INVITED the ‘homeless’ in and then put them out on the street to stick it to the people who work for a living.
Now they can ‘enjoy’ the fruits of their work.
San Francisco is the New Detroit and Venezuela. The city is dead and there is no hope. NONE.
