I woke up at 3:30AM two nights ago to find a woman trying to break into my house. She claimed she wanted to use my toilet. I felt bad for her, but she was attempting to break into my house. I asked her to go away and she tried to break my locks and windows. https://twitter.com/chrismichel/status/933016784919080960 …

it is breaking and has been breaking for a lot of people for several decades. It probably broke a long time ago for the woman who trying to break into your house. People thought homelessness was a temporary disaster (like a hurricane) when it emerged in the early 1980s here.

My heart broke. She kept screaming “you have running water!!” She wasn’t wrong. She didn’t want to poop on the sidewalk. Her behavior was so scary that I couldn’t give her my running water. I tried to advise her where to walk to. She went to the next house and tried to break in.

I definitely wanted to be clean. It is very difficult to do. Not to mention, how do you wash your clothes when balancing needs? We need to address this in a big way. Mental health help, showers, toilets and housing. We don’t need another train.

Contextually, it's probably worth mentioning that SF is the only major West Coast city out of LA, Seattle, Portland, Oakland, etc. that did *not* see a major increase in homelessness counts from two years ago, according to the bi-annual Federal Point in Time count.
