We have to get real, here. If SF doesn't effectively cooperate with the surrounding region to manage the safety + needs of the homeless in a more homogenous & sustainable manner, people will continue to travel to wherever the most generous services are; it's the smart thing to do

Don’t fall for the mayor’s latest distraction. There is a database of people the city manages. Don’t be fearful that flocks of new arrivals are coming for rooms. The rooms are being offered to people in the city’s database only. She is creating new distractions everyday - ask why

I mean I and many others don't know that they're looking at the database. If I was homeless might as well move to San Francisco since they're offering services and you'll get something anyway.

People don’t pick up and move to a city where they don’t know anyone during a pandemic. This whole “fear” is concocted for a reason. Show me the data of people flocking here otherwise be wary of the politicians that stoke these fears. It’s a familiar playbook to score points

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I can anecdotally see way more camps and homeless around. It's not fair to them to invite them to a place which cannot support them. Let's wait until there's data. @EskSF, @hknightsf, @TheMarinaTimes should look into it

The specter of homeless people flocking to SF like the Joad family has been bandied about for decades. Far from giving everyone a room, the number of homeless people living on the street who've been given a room is extremely low. Even sick SRO residents aren't getting rooms.

How does that explain anecdotal increases in homeless encampments in GG park and around city hall?
