But but I thought the left was all about human rights , peace , tolerance and all that good stuff ..
Really really awful situation going on in San Francisco .
Also in Los Angeles too and so many other liberal run cities .
San Francisco getting lumped together with slums in India and Mexico City ? Really crazy and hard to believe.

The Bay Area's "cruel and inhuman" conditions for homeless residents violate a number of human rights, according to a report written by United Nations Special Rapporteur Leilani Farha.
Farha revealed her findings before the UN General Assembly two weeks ago, after previously reporting that homeless residents in San Francisco and Oakland had been denied "access to water, sanitation and health services, and other basic necessities."
These harrowing conditions prompted her to group San Francisco alongside cities like Mumbai and Delhi, which are known for some of the poorest and dirtiest neighborhoods in the world. In a statement to the East Bay Express, Farha compared the Oakland camps to a low-income dwelling in Mexico City that had no running water and was forced to steal electricity.

I don’t understand what’s wrong with intervention. Going in and helping these people get on their feet, get clean, get mental health, get jobs..instead no one does anything and the situation keeps getting worse. There is nothing wrong with being pro active.
The federal government needs to do investigations into fraud and corruption into the liberal politicians in LA and San Francisco.
Big tax increases that are doing noting to solve the homeless crisis except for a pittance of luxury housing units that will be built by the mayor's friends in hopes for campaign contributions or endorsements when running for higher offices.
The residents of San Francisco are paying hefty taxes that amount to $40,000 per homeless person yet they city is drowning in poop, people can't walk dogs or take their families in public without watching for syringes.
It is immoral, cruel and inhuman for the liberal Democratic narcissists running for LA and San Francisco to deny treatment and resources for the homeless and spending tax increases devoted to the homeless crisis to enriching organized labor and devolopers with ties to the politicians who will give them money when they run for higher office.
In 3rd world countries people might get a touch of the flu from the conditions, but in LA or San Francisco walking in public is far worse than 3rd world countries because of the needles, many of which were used by people with Hepatitis C or HIV.
The city of LA spends $16,000 and San Francisco spends $40,000 a year with no results. In fact the more they spend the worse it gets.
LA spends 491 million a year on the 33,000 homeless or about $16,000 per homeless person.

San Francisco has no intention of intervening. Liberals in San Francisco derive pleasure and enjoyment and makes them feel tolerant and successful when seeing people on the margins falling apart.
San Francisco, LA, Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, Denver and many other western cities are just going to have to hit rock-bottom before they even think about addressing the issue seriously.
I am sure there are lots of social service agencies in San Francisco that gets lots of tax payer dollars to enrich the owners but they could care about the people they serve.
I almost think the liberals in San Francisco enjoy seeing suffering seniors, veterans and disabled because it makes them feel very successful when going to their jobs at Twitter, Salesforce, Lyft and Uber.
Maybe they'd like to have the 3M invader/squatters in the US shipped off to other UN countries eh?
Think of the housing that would free up in CA. Give the homeless some small subsidies equal to what illegal households were receiving, and tell em to hit the Real Estate for Rent section of Craigslist.
If its so bad, as everyone is saying in San Fran, Im assuming cost of living and property values would be plummeting...right?
