I strongly support efforts from @DeanPreston to open a safe camping site in the Haight. We need to open more safe camping spaces while working toward building more shelters and supportive housing. The people fighting it are on the wrong side of history.https://hoodline.com/amp/2020/05/neighbors-led-by-amoeba-music-owner-consider-legal-action-against-haight-tent-village …

Replying to @sbuss @DeanPreston
i live a block from the site, and strongly condemn it. the supes aren’t doing this because of covid. this is a defacto permanent camp and everyone knows it. six months from now these will be normalized, and the will to build actually humane emergency shelter will be gone.

What’s your alternative?

the alternative to packing people with high-health risk into close proximity during the middle of a pandemic? folks on the sidewalk aren’t bothering anyone, and the community prefers what we have. we don’t need to force anyone into camps. and we should build some fucking shelter.

The community calls cops on people on the sidewalk all the time.

i didn’t say the community liked it — this is an actual disaster — i said the community prefers it to a government camp. we give the city hundreds of millions of dollars a year for this single issue. build shelter.

Yes, build shelters. But in the meantime let's offer a better solution than sidewalk camping.

they are currently spread across the entire neighborhood. again, packing people with extremely high health risk into an enclosed space during the middle of a pandemic *is not safer*
