If the homeless were to settle in the neighborhoods where the politicians live, you can bet they would take action. How many politicians or high profile celebrities and business people, who defend the rights of the homeless, have to step over/around them on a daily basis? These elitists probably work and live far from the worst areas, and I am sure have never encountered a bag of feces sitting outside their offices or homes.
The status quo will continue until it actually impacts the quality of life of the people who have the power and influence to change it.
You are spot on and the same politicians and 1% who cry tears for the homeless would change their minds in a second if they had to smell those nasty sidewalk fumes or see people squatting and doing their business all over the sidewalks and needles and trash everywhere. It’s fine for us, all we do is pay taxes. Olympia has a homeless problem although it’s smaller. It’s past time to just talk about the problem and start to fix it.
San Francisco is losing a ton of tourist money by being inactive. Maybe move a load of homeless over to the rich section of town.
Unfortunately most of them don’t want to work and they don’t have to in places like SF and L.A they have charities , missions and churches to meet their basic needs and panhandling or crime for the rest .
Weather has a LOT to do with it - which is why Sarasota FL has had a big homeless problem.
Just because San Francisco is in CA, doesn't mean it has the same weather. I've been there over a dozen times on business and the vast majority of the time it is cloudy and raining. It is very cold there during the summer. Yes, the weather is bad there.
I agree with you. I despise the weather in SF, I'd rather be in sunny, warmer Oakland.
I still have bad memories of being at conventions in '95-'98, stepping over all the homeless on the sidewalks back then. It was terrible. I can't even imagine how bad it must be now.

This is a complete and total lie.
San Francisco gets about the same hours of sunshine as San Diego - 3062 hours annually for SF vs 3055 for San Diego. 73 days of rain per year hardly seems like the "vast majority of the time." And since when is mid-50s to mid-60s "very cold"?
SF does not have shirt-off beach weather, but it is not anything like the cold, gray, wet nightmare you claim. At all. I actually rather dislike SF weather precisely because the sun is so punishing during the day and there's hardly any rain.
A simple solution. The Bible says, if any would not work, neither should he eat. Since the bums don't want to work, close the soup kitchens. The problem will mostly solve itself.Theres plenty of jobs in America today for peoole who want to work. Give them jobs cleaning manure from the streets

Whoa, guess I'm going to starve then, since I'm on disability. Oh, do you want us to stone adulterers and what should we do with children won't respect their parents?
Seriously, I think you should leave "bums" out of your description of the homeless. Many of those so-called bums are veterans of the Vietnam War and donned a uniform to fight the most unpopular war we've ever had. A lot of the reasons they're homeless and unable to work is because of being in that war. I also consider that they've worked their fair share. What have you done for this nation that they haven't?

I've seen a lot of people say they won't visit San Francisco again. I was curious, have any of you actually written the mayor and told him that and why? Sometimes a problem isn't recognized as a problem until a lot of people bring it up. I'm not saying no one knows homelessness isn't a problem in San Francisco, but I wonder if they know what it's costing them in tourism dollars.

I think they know, they just don't know how to solve the problem.
I guess you and I have a different definition of "very cold"
