Just spoke with my dr. She works a lot with homeless and addicts. She said since covid started, SF homeless have been given hotel rooms - they've seen a massive uptick in drug overdoses. Her hypothesis: hotel rooms made it easier to do drugs and easier to be lonely.

This is something I think a lot about when people discuss the homeless issue in SF. Lack of affordable housing isn't a perfect solution. If people are addicts, an apartment isn't a magic fix. Helping them kick drugs, which is people need to want, is step 1.

Replying to @theSamParr @taiyab
I live in SF. If it matters for perspective, I met my doctor at a homeless clinic for addicts and people with mental health issues.
