looks like jail - most will feel at home
If'd known it was going to turn into a turd-world sh!thole I wouldn't have bothered cruising down to Mexico as often.
They managed to turn “America’s Finest City” into just another Leftist-run ****-hole.
San Diego, once a conservative paradise, began to die in the late ‘70’s. I left in ‘77 and am never going back.
I was there about 10 years ago for a corporate event my wife was attending. We were staying at the U.S. Grant Hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter, which for those not familiar, is a historic class A hotel in a prime location in a historic area that is a key restaurant and entertainment area for tourists and locals alike.
I was shocked at all the homeless who had more or less taken over various small parks in this high-profile area. It was at the level of Seattle, which is pretty bad as well.
I am unsurprised they are having a problem with disease associated with this crowd.
This is yet more fallout from the inability and unwillingness of our society to institutionalize the drug- and alcohol-addicted mentally ill.
Oh, and further, from the picture caption at the source link:
“The first of three shelters opened Friday, which will eventually provide beds for up to 700 people, as the city struggles to control a homeless crisis gripping the region.”
A homeless problem requiring tents with bunks for 700 didn’t spring up overnight. It didn’t spring up in one year. It has been ongoing for a long time, but it’s suddenly a crisis because we have a Republican President. Expect to see more articles on the homeless regularly in your local Pravda.
Reminds me of all the hepatitis outbreaks there were when I was growing up in NJ in the 60’s... /sarc
Massing the homeless may control hep-A, but increase hep-B and hep-C, which are viral rather than bacterial.
If there are no tents set up and homeless die of hepatitis or life becomes very hard, the homeless will migrate north.
By doing nothing, the problem will sort its self out.
The tent and 700 beds exacerbate the problem
A tent for 350 single men and women - what could possibly go wrong?
A prostitution ring within a week and big spike in STDs, to make them forget about the Hep A...
The Bible has a cure for this problem: “If any would not work, neither shall he eat.” (2 Thessalonians 3:10). Idleness among the able is a sin.

Illegal immigration, the gift that keeps on giving.
This is a prime example of your get more of what you reward (and get less of what you punish).
Vagrancy laws had a purpose and worked. Why should normal taxpaying citizens have to put up with these bums?
I know the ACLU and Courts have ruled against Vagrancy laws but we are seeing the direct result of those actions.
If you can not get them for “vagrancy” get them for urinating and defecating on the sidewalk (where the Hepatitis is coming from). Get them for drug use. Get them for public intoxication. And last, do not give them any money or support. Cut off the free stuff.
If they can create tents for 700, put a fence around it and call it a jail. They stay until they are willing to move on.
So after eliminating all of the small plastic bags they are putting these people into one large plastic bag.
Sheesh.
In addition to the many excellent points about how the tent solution will not contain the problem, in my view, the Powers That Be are simply not interested in containment.
Remember the recent legalizing of contaminating of the blood supply which Moonbeam signed into place?
All who now receive transfusions are at grave risk for receiving a dire blood born disease - not only in California, but remember that that blood is transported elsewhere- and unless states or feds take measures to contain California-sourced blood products, we will be seeing disastrous results from this in very short order. I fear tents holding mass casualty deaths from illness rather than just the homeless ill.
“”About 20 people made their way to a bunk bed Friday in the tent that will house 350 single men and women””
WOW - 20 to a “a bunk bed” - they must have put in some pretty large bunk beds - it’s going to be pretty cramped when they fit 350 in one!!
All part of the plan. Turn big cities into 3rd world type countries. All part of the destruction of this country.
