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.
