Define rich "progs." Obviously there is no love for the homeless. Did you read the article? The people that live along the waterfront do not want a homeless shelter in their area. I don't blame them. You really do not understand the left coast. Have a lovely day.
and yet SF wants to be a sanctuary city. yes this is a showcase of liberal hypocrisy. "yes please send us the homeless and illegals, just put them over there near the trash dumps where we dont have to deal with them".
Rich progs love the homeless as long as they don't build the shelters in their neighborhood. But your neighborhood would be okay with them.
"San Francisco’s renowned waterfront hosts joggers, admiring tourists and towering condos with impressive views. It could also become the site of a new homeless shelter for up to 200 people. Angry residents have packed public meetings, jeering at city officials and even shouting down Mayor London Breed over the proposal. They say they were blindsided and argue billionaire Twitter executive Jack Dorsey and other tech executives who support the idea should lobby city officials to build a shelter by their homes."
This is not a post about the homeless. This is a post about liberal hypocrisy.
They have been known to oppose EVERYTHING, not just shelter. They blocked a property development. They even blocked the Golden State Warriors from building an arena there.
It's not about homeless. It's about the rich residents there not wanting anything new, at all.

The same people who have those, "We don't care where you're from, we're glad you're our neighbor" signs in their all-white neighborhood.
The problem with placement of homeless shelters is that nobody wants them in their residential areas, and rightfully so, and when shelters are placed in suburban areas there is often too much distance and inadequate public transportation for them to get around. You end up with empty shelters while homeless people still mill around in busy downtown areas.
Here in Austin they built a public housing complex in the semi-rural southwest side of town under the guise that spreading the poor out results in better outcomes. We’re having the reverse effect here. We have poor people stuck in an apartment complex without any bus lines running nearby. No stores, social services, libraries, etc. So now there are tons of low income residents just milling around the neighborhoods all day and night long. Predictably, property crime in this area is rising.
Don't a lot of people have guns in those rural areas? Sounds like a dangerous combination.
The public housing needs to be near transportation and services.

Most folk have a strong preference for homeless people to be out of sight, not next door. Nothing partisan about it.
Wonder how Trump Org might react of Palm Beach County chose to relocate homeless camps to property just outside Mar-a-Lago? Imagine those who pay $$$$$ to be members of this private club having their limos having to inch through tent cities, used needles and poo.

The Town of Palm Beach might have quite a bit to say about that .
The City of West Palm Beach (where the Trump International Golf Club is located) would be a target before the Town of Palm Beach. The people in the area wouldn't like it, but it would be interesting to see tents near the entrance to the golf club .

The fact that they don't want the illegal aliens in their own cities is the height of NIMBYism!!!!
