“The junkies?” You mean the people who have always existed who we fail to house over&over? Incompassionate to vilify them in comparisons to “bridge/tunnel.” One group has the ability/privilege to SiP. The other gets more desperate by the day. Careful what you’re calling out.

As for zoning, it’s not at all a reach for the city to Mark a purchase and rezone it. You can even apply for those exceptions to be made to your business as a private citizen. SF had liscences GALORE that allow a diversity of businesses to operate in our tiny grid. The idea that

Not sure how long you’ve been here, but permits and red tape are endemic here. The building inspection dept is probably under Justice Dept investigation. The money is in the city’s accounts. A Minneapolis winter outside is a death sentence and we have more, and far worse off ppl.

So you’re arguing with me because you don’t think addicts deserve housing or....?

Also, many people here (who can) have largely become used to the low level crime, crap services and poor city management as a price to pay for living here. They demurre to this bargain.
