This organization has been coming to SF since the 1980s, but now it's too dangerous!

The convention told SF travel "that they loved the city, but post-convention surveys revealed their members were afraid to walk the streets amid the open drug use, threatening behavior and mental illness that are common on the streets."

San Francisco's biggest industry is tourism. It brings in $9 billion a year, creates 80,000 jobs, and generates more than $725 million in local taxes.

If San Fransisco's largest industry is tourism, it seems foolish to turn it into a 3rd world slum. But that's democrats for ya... Not alot goin on in their tiny brains.

I think it's gotten to the point that foreign tourists consider the homeless drug addicts living in the streets as part of the attraction. I wouldn't be surprised if they are taking pictures of them and sharing them with all their friends.

“Alot” isn’t a word in the way that you used it. It’s “a lot.” When you are insulting the intelligence of the majority of the population, you might want to pay attention to your grammar, lest we are all left believing
( mistakenly, I hope ) that you are an uneducated dolt.

I think it's super weird that cities all over the US are looking more like the poorest providences (I would imagine) of a third world country.

If you are going to allow people to camp on the streets, it follows that you must provide rest rooms (portapotties and wash stations). People need to eliminate waste on a consistent basis. It's not like this is news that people have to go to the bathroom.
Where are they EXPECTED to go?

Part of the problem is that they are not flushing: https://www.quora.com/Why-are-people...-San-Francisco. Sure; everybody wants to visit raw sewage; like taking a tour of the livestock pens! Hey SF asked for it and they got it!

Thank God you're here!! I'm not sure we could've interpreted his post without your stellar grammatical correction skills.
