Drug dealing, defecation: SF street causing 'chaos' for homeowners

Tent after tent, open drug dealing, drug use and a whole host of other safety issues - are what residents of one San Francisco luxury condo complex say they have been dealing with for years, despite reporting to 311 regularly. abc7ne.ws/44fA3Rx

When you allow people to sleep on the street or pitch tents anywhere, you are complicit in their suffering and are culpable in their misery. Allowing this serves nobody.

[@Redtopper02]

It is so obvious what the solution is but for some reason common sense isn't available in SF. You could clean that up pretty fast but the leaders in the City don't want to do it. Vote them out. By treating the homeless so nice....you are simply complicit in their suffering. Ridiculous

[@biometal770]

That's right. If you allow this type of behavior, you are complicit in promoting it. I don't think we will ever be rid of homelessness. I wonder if they created specific 'zones' that were specified just for the homeless to camp, how that would turn out.

[@anthonymorris5084]

@@biometal770 This issue is solely caused by far Left and far Right ideology and intransigence. The Left refuse to allow anybody to dismantle these camps or prevent people from sleeping on the streets. Until this is illegal and enforced, no matter how many shelters you build it will still exist and worsen. The Right refuse to allow the necessary funding that takes these people off the streets, gives them medical care and a path to housing. Many are drug addicted and/or mentally ill. both need treatment. People in these two categories are clearly incapable of taking care of themselves and this needs to be recognized. They are no different from an elderly person with Alsheimer's and we would never leave someone like that to fend for themselves on the street. Camps are dangerous, unsanitary, crime ridden, drug ridden, fire hazards. Protecting these camps just adds to the cruelty and makes life miserable for everybody else.

What in the world are you buffoons talking about? They're on the streets because they can't get affordable housing. No mayor anywhere has enough power to address such an issue. When the suburbs were built that was through federal government initiatives to build affordable housing that created the suburbs. We have since privatized home building, in which corporations are building slow and mostly luxury homes.

I recently saw a CNN video of a reporter interviewing SFCo homeless people living in tents. One young couple from Fresno, I believe, said they were in SFco because the city offers a lot of support: free food, free needles, as well as other benefits they can’t get back home. They were given a place to stay, but turned it down because she “didn’t like it.” BTW, this was a young, able bodied couple who should be looking for work instead of a handout. Perhaps budget cuts on some services might motivate some of these homeless to make a change. My opinion.

[@taryntaryn9090]

I 100% agree. Most of these people are not interested in working. California has more homeless than any other state. It's not just about the good weather. It's because they are given so much freedom and also supported more than anywhere else. It's a joke for regular people.

I have lived in Thailand for 20 years (lived in the Seattle area for 30 years before). Especially now I feel way more safe anywhere in Thailand (including Bangkok which is HUGE) than walking around a major US city. Thailand has a great sense of freedom, but a couple of times when I took a break from walking around Lumphini Park (very large green space in Bangkok) and laid down on a park bench I was asked to sit up by park security because it promotes loitering. I wish they did this and more in US cities. Yeah fine take a 5-minute rest, but otherwise get up and go get on with life, or go home. If any of these tent cities were attempted in Thailand there would be a public outcry, not necessarily for police, but for the families to come rescue their people and take care of them. Unfortunately there is very little such safety net in American society. If you can't afford a small apartment or a decent car and hold down a job, in the USA you are F*ked!
