That area is more "up and coming" than really the rich area of SF. It's like 10 new towers and the baseball park dragging up all the rent prices. Still tons of junkies in that spot. I don't blame them though, I wouldn't want a shooting gallery in my neighborhood either.
If you guys want a fun read, look up the millennium tower in sf. Tons of drama involving a sinking foundation, early buyers getting fucked covering costs for lawsuits, layerds and layers of lawsuits in general. It's pretty funny
I got stuck down a YouTube rabbit hole about real estate. The whole situation is fucked. There is a fuck ton red tape for building any new housing. A lot of it is sjw shit like keeping a neighborhood diverse.
This one guy wanted to convert his laundry mat into housing. He even had a bunch of it planned for reduced rate housing. Nope, 5 years and a million dollars later he still couldn't start his project.
to all the poor ppl complainin about this thinkin it shows irony or w/e. if u actually owned property u would be very mad if homeless shelter moved in. decreases property value! more crime to! upvote me if u agree!
The homeless shelter either has to go somewhere else, or doesn't get built at all. Why should it go into a poor neighborhood? Why is it that people who are already suffering are the ones who are asked to make sacrifices?
The irony of the Californian landowners is that on one hand they dont like getting told what to do with their property but at the same time without that restriction the building frenzy will shatter their asset values in one fell swoop.
It's not like it'll even matter. The homeless problem in SF is SO bad that no matter where you live, you simply can't avoid it. There's just too many of them.
There is a book called "Virtual Light" by William Gibson from 1993 that centers around the Bay Bridge. A new Bay Bridge is built, and the old gets turned into a huge shanty town for the homeless.
San Francisco is actually a nonstop prank show where its residents are pranked with the wacky outcomes of their hilarious politics.
"My name is Katie and I care a lot about the homeless" smash cut to Katie crossing the street to avoid being hugged by a sidewalk camper approaching her with outstretched arms.
Reminds me of George Lucas wanting to expand his production company stupid and being cock blocked by Marin county, so he threatened to build low income housing instead
George Lucas has always been sympathetic to the downtrodden. That's why he's always had great diversity in his films such as the race of underwater Jaimacans who are only a letter away from having "massa" as their catch phrase, and we can't forget about the happy merchant.
I've made it a game to count how many needles I can see on my walk from my office to the bus stop. The city is hiring people who's job is literally just cleaning up shit on the sidewalk.
No one would care if they put it on treasure island, but if no one cares then why would the city try to do it?
I'm not wealthy and I wouldn't want to live near San Francisco street rats either. Lived in the Bay Area, and worked in San Francisco for years before invading Texas. These aren't nice people down on their luck, they are vile junkies, lunatics, and thieves. They are not like Otis the town drunk on Andy Griffith.
Its a lot more complex than simply virtue signaling. This is a classic case of false equivalence employed by conservautists and far left tards. On one side we have MAGAtards engaging in SRDine levels of smug while talking about homelessness issue in California, and on the other side we have chapotards calling for guillotine because liberals dared suggesting not wanting homeless menace in their neighborhood.
Its one thing to support liberal causes. Its another thing to expect them bear the brunt of the destruction and life threatening encounters back to their homes. I sure want these people to get help, but I sure as hell didn't sign up for bums yelling at my family and camping near my house, blatantly shoot up heroin out in the open, shit on the sidewalk every fucking day, sleep butt naked, and spread venereal diseases to whole of the neighborhood.
but I sure as hell didn't sign up for bums yelling at my family all day and all night and camping near my house, blatantly shoot up heroin out in the open, shit on the sidewalk every fucking day, sleep butt naked, and spread venereal diseases to whole of the neighborhood
Its one thing to support liberal causes. Its another thing to expect them bear the brunt of the destruction and life threatening encounters back to their homes.
So another way of saying it would be that of course you want homeless people to have shelters, you just feel that someone else should "bear the brunt of the destruction and life threatening encounters back to their homes."
That's not all that complex, honestly. It's just peak progressive.
Actually no, i don't think building homeless shelter is a solution. I mean, sure, I am okay with limited size shelters where it actually helps the people to get back on their feet who aren't suffering from crippling psychiatric disorders or drug addiction issues.
Better solution would be to bring back mental asylums. People with permanent mental health disorders, drug addicts will get the treatment they require from these places. Fund these places similar to how we fund other federal/state institutions. You need people who are qualified to handle these people.
This California experiment has proven that homelessness is an extremely complex issue and you can't simply solve it using shelters alone. Its like trying to fix a fracture by applying oils or something.
I knew the homeless problem was bad in SF, but I didn’t know it was so bad that subway escalators were breaking down because too many homeless people shit in them.

Can't wait until the same blue checkmarks go on twitter to explain to us lowly scumbags how important it is to care about the poor and disadvantaged.

If the homeless shelter is in our neighbourhood then the police will start asking us questions when the homeless start disappearing.

Yah SF's housing problem makes NYC's look tame. Can't even build the new construction for chinese/russian/saudi investors to gobble up and leave empty

You're right, but most of them keep electing that woman to city council year after year.
So they're still hypocrites.

Agreed. They probably pushed for a shelter to be built, and are SHOCKED when their neighborhood was chosen.
