I think it all starts at the top, you know? Chesa isn't going to prosecute petty theft at Walgreen for example, yeah? Those can and will be dramatically curbed once we find a place for these people to stay, to get sober, etc..

Just arresting these people over and over again is like putting a band aid on a tumor. It doesn't work and only masks the problem temporarily. We need to house these people. That's when you'll see much less crime everywhere in the city.

And if housing in SF is a prereq requirement to address addiction, criminal and other antisocial behavior, they will be waiting forever. This is CRUEL. Talk to people who rehabbed--it's almost always the case that it was compelled. The DA is perpetuating harm by enabling.

“They’ll be waiting FOREVER” Yeah, and my point is they shouldn’t have to. Look, you’re not going to solve the homeless problem by sending all the homeless to jail. Same with addiction. You need accessible housing and rehab. Not one or the other. Both, and yes, that works.

Of course there are. Some people decline a shelter because they don’t like the rules. Some people are trafficking people and stolen goods and drugs in tents. Some people are legitimately homeless. Some are not. We are doing a terrible job of triage and drawling hard lines.

Is “legitimately homeless” a cousin to “real rape”? You republicans.

I’m a Democrat, jackass. And yeah, if you’re naive enough to think some people aren’t exploiting the situation, you’re sadly mistaken. So yeah, many people aren’t. Bike part fencing, human trafficking, drug dealing, wake up man.
