Every word of this is worth reading. Today, I had to physically *step over* a crowd of 8-10 people rolling & smoking joints to get on BART at Powell St. Yesterday, a tiny woman sat next to me & was SCREAMED at by a huge man through 2 stops, until she fled.https://www.city-journal.org/html/san-francisco-hostage-homeless-16980.html …
If anyone in my family knew what I saw moving through the city during the day, they'd beg me to leave. If they knew why I stopped walking *anywhere* at night, they'd plead.
SF crime stats are a joke. Everyone already knows not to bother calling. At some point, I'm going to have to start driving everywhere and eating the $30 parking just to practice what I preach about staying safe as a lone woman.
I took this photo on my way home in Oakland about a week ago. Does this look like the wealthiest metro area in the US to you? Would you want to walk your kiddos along this street?pic.twitter.com/qyFLjDCqH1
FWIW, I disagree with the author on one point: I don't have a problem with people living/sleeping on the streets (or in their cars, for that matter) assuming they're not selling or using drugs in public, assaulting people, defecating on the street or breaking into cars or homes.
I fully believe the housed can coexist with the homeless if there are some ground rules. A good rule of thumb: what is acceptable for a small child to witness in public? The Tenderloin, currently an open-air drug market, is the SF neighborhood with the largest child population.
