Even with your insane communist mayor! That beats all.
On the island of Oahu, the homeless situation is absolutely remarkable. Typical scene: A housing development of million dollar homes, where across the street, on the beach, you have a tent development of homeless and all the litter that accompanies it.
Last year, in Seattle, I was shocked to see tents on sidewalks and in the grassy areas near highway onramps.
We have our homeless issues here in Boston, but our problems are nothing compared to the stuff I've seen out west.
Great, Denver decriminalizes panhandling. Now, those suckers that gave money to panhandlers, will really be harassed. I remember crossing the area just to the West of the Capitol building and being accosted five times, for money. Giving money to the beggars only encourages them to continue. Some of the panhandlers drive nice cars and live in decent housing too!

RE: your tagline. Who is going to play “The Kingfish?”
Al Sharpton comes to mind.
My co-worker’s husband is in charge of a major security companies maintenance for the entire building in a city with the population around 250,000 people. They moved into a newly constructed building and almost immediately they got bed bugs. She says he has extermination crews in a minimum of once a month and usually twice to try and kill them out. Some people are just down right nasty and do not care how it effects them or people around them.
So true. Last time I was in NYC I was impressed at how nice the Times Square area was, compared to written accounts of how bad it was in the past. San Francisco has its bad areas, but much of it is nice. The worst areas of SF are better than the nicest places in other cities I've visited. Every city has bad areas, but not every city has nice areas. I'll be visiting NYC again in the future.
Good one - Al Sharpton can be the Kingfish ... too bad I don’t have more room in my tagline for him...
And the cancer spreads
San Francisco looks the way it does because the collectivists on the Board of Supervisors want it to look that way. The worse it looks, the easier it is for them to shake down downtown businesses for more tax revenue to “solve” the problem. It’s part of an intentional, multi-faceted, long-term plan to fund the Revolution.

I have never come into contact with a bedbug or seen direct or indirect evidence of an infestation in my 65 years (knock on a container of Diatomaceous Earth). And it’s not like I live on an isolated, sterile island. We visit thrift stores frequently and acquire some clothes there. Relatives visit who live in multi family structures and they aren’t infested either. The bedbug problem must be regional to a large extent.
Hilarious.
Bedbugs can nest in wood. So don’t be bringing any nice-looking wooden furniture from the sidewalk into your place. And don’t sit on wooden benches.
Also, people like health workers can bring them, the cleanest people in the world but they might have been to a buggy apartment right before yours.
Having a job is yes, but tens millions do not have a job.
Have you seen the trend of 18 to 35 year olds to want socialism, it is overwhelming and based on inability to afford a rent or home purchase or any thing close to a middle class life style. They are afraid and often live with mommy and daddy or 4+ in small apartments.
My point is on winning elections in places that are dem controlled and now have zero chance of being won by conservatives or even GOPe republicans.
There were more than 400 "homeless encampments" as of June 2018, according to city staff. Not more than five are removed per week (city records). The city follows policy in removing encampments, and that policy was revised to the current procedure in March 2017. The initial policy was created in 2008. That 2017 policy revision came from the City Council, former Mayor Ed Murray’s office and the Multi-Department Rules Committee. The removal policy, which can be read here, outlines the removal process. And that removal process can take weeks or months unless there’s a scenario that the city recognizes as a safety hazard.Funny, the Mayor's office didn't mention the right of normal citizens to live in a clean, disease-free, crime-free city and to go about their daily lives without be accosted or assaulted by crazy drug-addled loons.By August 2018, Seattle had removed more homeless encampments than it did in all of 2017: 220 sites have been cleared between Jan 1 and July 31, compared to 191 camps in all of 2017.
The rules that address these encampments “are designed to balance the right of people living unsheltered with the City’s responsibility to maintain public health and safety,” the Mayor's office said.
FOUR HUNDRED "encampments." What's really curious is that the more money the city spends on homeless, the more homeless bums they get. /s
Imagine a big smile, as only the Kingfish could make!
The series was a well written one that entertained without any negative situations.
It could have been done with white actors without losing or gaining any of the situational comedy!!!
It stated white then became a black show...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amos_%27n%27_Andy
“Amos ‘n’ Andy is an American radio and television sitcom set in Harlem, Manhattan’s historic black community. The original radio show, which ran from 1928 until 1960, was created, written and voiced by two white actors, Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll, who played Amos Jones (Gosden) and Andrew Hogg Brown (Correll), as well as incidental characters.”
“When the show moved to television, black actors took over the majority of the roles; white characters were infrequent. Amos ‘n’ Andy began as one of the first radio comedy series and originated from station WMAQ in Chicago.”
