      The new SF Fire Chief, Jeanine Nicholson, reports that ~70% of the homeless in certain areas of the city are from out of town, here seeking a hotel room. Mayor Breed confirms in the video. A few thoughts below. (1/x)http://bit.ly/38gWko1

      1) It makes sense that people who are homeless would come to SF. We are internationally famous for our compassion and have been since the 60s. For a great description of the roots of this culture, I recommend you read this book. https://www.amazon.com/Season-Witch-Enchantment-Terror-Deliverance-ebook/dp/B005C6FDFY …

      2) SF Gov data backs this up. They have done surveys showing that only 43% have been here 10+ years. I think we all have different definitions of what counts as "from here" - but safe to assume most people did not grow up in SF.https://twitter.com/michelletandler/status/1292530038970015744?s=20 …

      About 57% of SF's homeless come from outside of the Bay Area. 43% has been in SF for longer than 10 years. (2/x) Source is @sfgov: https://hsh.sfgov.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/ExecutiveSummary_SanFrancisco2019.pdf … pic.twitter.com/hJyhm32p9U

      3) This data is controversial because it contradicts the narrative that homelessness is caused by the rising cost of housing. While at a high level that is of course true, I have yet to see a stat showing that most of our homeless were prior renters in SF.

      This video by @realchrisrufo is worth a watch. He argues that the homelessness we see in SF is almost entirely caused by mental illness and drug addiction. People pushed out by rising housing costs typically go to cheaper cities, not the streets.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbybniI38gU …

      Thank you for the link! I tried to condense down the problem into 12 minutes—not easy, but hopefully helpful for people.
