Intervention? Why? As long as they either vote Democrat or stay out of the way... what's the problem?

Give them the scraps they want, clean up the poop on the streets and all is well.

Give them a job and they might vote for Trump... can't take the risk.

Do you really not understand how California works... and how it is not normal?

Here's a report from 2015 if you are interested...

California’s High Housing Costs: Causes and Consequences


Here's a recent real example of what happened in one LA community. The residents lobbied (paid off) the local official to stop a land owner to develop 14 apartments and retail space.

Why California Has A Housing Shortage—And Why Housing Prices Are So High

San Francisco has a large tourist industry, surely it's in it's own interest to find a solution asap.

Perhaps some kind of strategy that includes sheltered accomodation and hostels in other parts of the state where housing is less expensive, coupled with mental health and drug/alcohol support teams.

Kind of like Chicago. Tolerate a certain amount of deaths in the hood, let the problem take care of itself.

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.

San Francisco is ran by SJW LGBTQ Feminists leftist and tech savvy technocrats. None of such people have come up with ideas to reduce homelessness. All of the people I have mentioned are part of the regressive left, and since they are part of the regressive left. Such people left the Christian ideals of the logos and pathos of being compassionate. If San Francisco wants to help the homeless, the city may need to change its Pathos and Logos ideals, but that will come at a price that those who make big bucks of the groups of people I have mentioned may not want to pay for.

Having visited three times in the late 90s and just two years ago; the difference is stupefying. We expected to see street ‘voiding’, putrifying filth in India, but not in the formerly beautiful San Francisco. Let it take its course.
