San Francisco has been a homeless Mecca since 1849.


For real though, these people making GBS threads all over the street aren't blue collar workers displaced by gentrifying tech bros. They're mentally ill and abandoned by the state. I guess if you want to draw connections between the Illuminati and their monetary control over the state via superpacs and what have you, go ahead.

Thanks Reagan.

It's unique from NYC and DC

Also the city sued Nevada for sending their mentally ill patients to SF

SF should send them back with a 1 way ticket to vegas and a voucher for a casino buffet.

seriously?! would think they'd be p unimpressed with that kind of thing since rear end in a top hat tech hipsters with more money than sense are literally everywhere here

There are a lot of college women who have just graduated or are still going to school and desperately hunting down a guy who works in the financial district.

And yeah 100K I don't think would turn heads. It was significantly above that.

I preferred your last avatar, so I put it back. My apologies to the pedo who purchased your last one (it's always projection).
Late one beautiful sunny afternoon last year, I was wandering from some bar towards the Warfield when I saw the most perfect embodiment of San Francisco possible:

It was an Adidas sneaker in fairly decent shape, filled to the rim with vomit, placed squarely in the center of the sidewalk without being spilled.

I should have taken a picture, but in all honesty it wouldn't have done the scene justice.

I am writing today, to voice my concern and outrage over the increasing homeless and drug problem that the city is faced with. I’ve been living in SF for over three years, and without a doubt it is the worst it has ever been. Every day, on my way to, and from work, I see people sprawled across the sidewalk, tent cities, human feces, and the faces of addiction. The city is becoming a shanty town… Worst of all, it is unsafe.

This holiday weekend, I had my parents in town from Santa Barbara and relatives from Denver and Rochester New York. Unfortunately, there was three separate incidents and countless times that we were approached for money and harassed.

The first incident involved a homeless drunken man in the morning coming up to their car and leaning up against it. Another bystander got frustrated with the drunken man, and they got into a heated pushing and shoving altercation.

The second incident occurred as we were leaving Tadich Grill in the financial district. A distraught, and high person was right in front of the restaurant, yelling, screaming, yelling about cocaine, and even, attempted to pull his pants down and show his genitals.

Finally, last night Valentines, I was at Kabuki Theater inside watching a movie. About two hours into the film, a man stumbled in the front door. He proceeded to walk into the theater, down the aisle to the front, wobbled toward the emergency door, opened it, and then took his shirt off and laid down. He then came back into the theater shielding his eyes from the running projector. My girlfriend was terrified and myself and many people ran out of the theater.

What are you going to do to address this problem? The residents of this amazing city no longer feel safe. I know people are frustrated about gentrification happening in the city, but the reality is, we live in a free market society. The wealthy working people have earned their right to live in the city. They went out, got an education, work hard, and earned it. I shouldn’t have to worry about being accosted. I shouldn’t have to see the pain, struggle, and despair of homeless people to and from my way to work every day. I want my parents when they come visit to have a great experience, and enjoy this special place.

I am telling you, there is going to be a revolution. People on both sides are frustrated, and you can sense the anger. The city needs to tackle this problem head on, it can no longer ignore it and let people do whatever they want in the city. I don’t have a magic solution… It is a very difficult and complex situation, but somehow during Super Bowl, almost all of the homeless and riff raff[1] seem to up and vanish. I’m willing to bet that was not a coincidence. Money and political pressure can make change. So it is time to start making progress, or we as citizens will make a change in leadership and elect new officials who can.

Democracy is not the last stop in politics. In-fact, the order of progression according to Socrates via Plato in the Republic goes: timocracy, oligarchy, democracy, and finally tyranny. Socrates argues that a society will decay and pass through each government in succession, eventually becoming a tyranny.

“The greater my city, the greater the individual.”

[1] I want to apologize for using the term riff raff. It was insensitive and counterproductive.

It's almost as if San Francisco is a clearcut example of how progressive politics don't work.

ordered the artisan toast with crabshell served in an old dishwasher and fantasized about shooting the homeless with a rifle from my loft in the mission for which i pay 38000 dollars a month (which was less than i expected)

Maybe this rear end in a top hat should try to help the homeless, like give his apartment to one, or maybe his butt. Homeless people arent picky.
gently caress tech kids, really looking forward to them all being replaced by chinese and indian guys. Atleast the indians wont complain about homeless people, they will feel right at home.

Money is such a waste on nerds. But atleast it keeps the south east asian hooker economy going. :)
Also it might have to do that some of us might be lefties or working in fields like teaching,healthcare or whatever and are underpaid as gently caress(depends on where you live I guess). Of course thats not the IT guys fault, but they are an easy target to make fun of/be angry at.
