This! Free up police resources to focus on responding to crimes in progress and bringing up clearance rates. Leave the calls re tents to the housing experts!https://twitter.com/MLNow/status/1351688252290453505 …

sleeping is not a crime! as per the 8th amendment, it would be unconstitutional to prohibit people from sleeping which is a totally natural thing to do. Our city needs to reflect this in removing police from interacting with our houseless neighbors.

Do you have evidence of anyone, ever, in the history of time, calling the police for someone sleeping on the street in SF?

People call the cops on the homeless all the time. Usually on the mentally ill that are sleeping in a doorway or something.. and then the cops force them to move, which drives them into more remote/less safe places where they often get victimized.

I’m realizing that there was a misunderstanding. No one seems to be contesting that cops simply don’t respond to these types of calls in the TL. If they only respond to calls to move people to the TL, then these calls should stop. Everyone should be free to pitch a tent whereever

My original line of thinking was, we in the TL (the poor immigrant residents AND the homeless) could really use a break, it’s the most densely populated neighborhood.
