The vast majority of San Franciscans want homeless people housed. Maybe advocate for that instead of attacking anyone who works toward that goal.

what San Franciscans want is vastly apart from what the governing body has delivered. virtually zero non-existent representation of constituents, having crushed civil rights and liberties of tax paying citizens

Actually I agree that city hasn’t delivered on what it’s citizens desire but also be clear that we have a split political system and two camps which see a path to solutions very differently... the Supervisors passed unanimously legislation to@open 8000+ hotel rooms, the mayor...

...hasn’t moved to open more than 2000 to people who were living in SF pre-Covid. Her HSA director says it’s “not fiscally prudent”... so instead they have said they will open 1000 shelter beds but that still leaves thousands of people out on our streets.

there are a lot of open beds currently in rehabs. maybe we could force some folks actively using on our streets to agree to get clean and take those beds. housing in exchange for sobriety seems like a pretty good deal. meth labs and overdoses in hotels not ideal

Can you explain where the “many” beds are? Last I checked there were 2 beds and people on the waitlist were being contacted and offered those. Because of COVID there has been treatment programs closing to new participants because they are in congregant living settings.

Harbor light has 32 beds open. The ARC on Valencia has 40 beds. Men and Women. It depends on where you look.

@MyTwolffamily , So to be clear, if I have a existing addiction and am willing to give it up, I might have free food, shelter, medical care. However if I am merely elderly with no addictions on our streets, there are no opportunities for shelter for me? Why punishment over care?

That is a harsh reality and I agree with you completely.

A incentive structure more heavily discussed in Chicago, where it gets colder, homeless commit crimes to have a warm bed, meal, and medical care for the night.
For all too many, the medical care offered by jail is a lifesaver they could not otherwise afford.
