So the homeless are flooding in because San Francisco Liberals are welcoming them and making things great for them. They think that this will fix the homeless problem. Won’t the silly libs be surprised when their actions simply cause an even bigger tidal wave of homeless to go to San Francisco.
To combat the homeless problem in San Francisco, Breed [the new mayor] wants to, among other things, improve hospital and hospice care for the homeless, open safe injection sites for drug users, have medical teams on the streets deal with overdoses and construct permanent housing for the city’s homeless.
I commend her efforts. She’s attempting to do something regarding a problem she has little control over but is affecting everybody…not just the homeless. She’s walking a fine line though. I agree with the OP that this may exacerbate the problem? I also don’t think that the reduction in tourism is just due to homelessness. I’d say that the Kate Steinle verdict also has had a negative impact on the tourism industry. Either way, her compassion is to be admired…not ridiculed.
