Fuck this guy. Instead of trying to hide them you could try helping them, would go a lot farther than destroying their tents and handful of belongings they have bcz you don't like to look at it.
The mayor's pronouns are she/her. But I agree with your point, and so do a very great number of San Francisco residents. The current/upcoming mayoral election is being predictably pushed as a big fight over law and order issues by big-money organizations (a lot of the money coming from silicon valley, outside of SF) and also by corporate-owned local media. The mayor is cynically playing to that tune in her uphill battle to get reelected. As if that weren't bad enough she had to springboard this off of a cruel Supreme court decision at a time when her constituents are mostly disgusted with the court.
They have to want to be helped in order to be helped.
Pull harder on those bootstraps
So do you support mandated drug treatment programs? I’m all for tax money being used for these programs, but some of these people need to be forced to go through them.
Wow, how original... Waiting for the ACAB, bootlicker, etc. comments. You need a reality check.
You've already internalized them, so I think we're good
Just got to will yourself out of mental illness/disorder, easy as that. God damn why didn’t I try that
Ah, right, they want to sleep outside and beg for food and shelter. And the mental illness will just walk away if they decide they want it too.
