      I’m not saying they are right or wrong. Nor am I saying your policies are right or wrong. But from afar, this is an issue you need to address, bc it is causing a major fracture of trust in the institutions of law and justice within your community...

      ...And once that trust is gone, it’s extremely hard to repair and/or regain.

      Whatever story you think the data shows, people’s anecdotes and the emotions they inspire in others matter. So when I can see videos of junkies strung out and OD’ing on the side walks, videos of literal human shit on the side walks of SF,...

      ...countless tweets about burglaries of residents’s homes with little follow up from your office, a video of an empty Walgreens looted daily, and countless other stories of assaults on your streets, those anecdotes tell a story of an inability to ensure safety and justice...

      ...on the most basic level. At a minimum that’s a political problem for you. More broadly that’s a real issue that needs to be addressed. Because those perceptions matter, whether they are true or not.

      Your commentary is well presented. But as someone who grew up in SF the problems you point to have always been there. Always. It's actually better now than it has ever been. SF has more billionaires than any other city. If there is an ongoing issue, why aren't they doing more?

      That makes a lot of sense about the relative state of things. I’d argue that the narrative of current circumstances matters as much as the reality, bc that’s a huge part of what shapes human emotional response. What should billionaires be doing more of?

      Most of the problems in SF are due to lack of affordable housing-which was made much worse with the influx of extreme wealth into the city. SF has more billionaires than any other city in the world. If they chose, moneyed residents could completely cure the homeless crisis.

      It’s an interesting proposition, but if wealthy private citizens started unilaterally building homes for homeless, wouldn’t that also create a backlash from public bc the wealthy are “working outside the system of government,” etc.?

      That's why you need skilled city planners to oversee the programs. I'm not suggesting that the uber-rich build. I'm suggesting that they pour more money into funding programs. And to supporting affordable housing.

      They should pour more money in as an act of charity or via taxation? And city government is responsible for managing that process? City council and the county commissioner’s court already have the political power to address these issues

          Replying to @SamJ_Coffman @AdeleGermane and

          The elected representatives that can allocate funding to fix this problem should be the county commissioner and commissioner’s court. Idk I think this is more nuanced than simply saying the rich should pay more, but I totally understand your argument and respect your position
