- Luxury apartment dwellers in San Francisco have been plagued by crime and unsanitary conditions at a homeless encampment that has planted itself directly behind their building. Betty Yu reports. (11-5-21)
Imagine paying $4,000 a month for 600 square feet just watch a homeless person take a dump in the morning.
Time to buy light eliminating shades
Start harvesting honey and bees
Imagine your Governor, senators, congressional reps, mayors, allowing this to happen!!! But illegals get free housing at hotels!!!!
😂
Trust the science.
You know it's bad when people with green hair start complaining.
😂😂😂😂
👏😄🇺🇸👏
Well said
My experience with them they are always complaining
Even when they get what they want they complain.
I was in San Francisco 31 years ago. It was a beautiful city! I walked around everywhere and never feared for my safety.
i wonder who controls the city.......🤣
@blairmiles. Not sure what you are talking about. I am a teacher and I believe in the word of God.
Those were the days, the dopers and such were all in one area the problem has spread out to neighborhoods. But the stealing and violence is at a level I've never seen in my 52 years of living in SF are city is dying before are eyes. We are to soft on crime most of this problem is immigrants fueling the drug and stolen goods markets bring in the National Guard round them up if they are not bringing anything positive to the table. Just look at civic center , federal building, mission dist All gone to hell and also the tech movement has been sucking the soul out of are city as well. No conventions, no tourist, exodus of retail leaving damn shame Mayor You're making a classy city into a ghetto sitting on your hands and miss managing are budgets and infrastructure. We all do not like piss and needles and half dead people littering are streets think about mayor as you shop at Neman Marcus.
No one cares how you relate.
I think even 10 years ago, what you saw was still true. But a lot changed in the last 10, and then the last 5 years. Now, to walk safely through the city, you probably need to have armed escorts.
This problem is so deeply rooted and has been going on so long I doubt anyone can fix it.
The funny thing is, they’ll vote their local politicians back into office
The politicians are not the only problem. The people end up protesting and voting against low income and affordable housing. They act concerned for the homeless unti they want to put them in their communities.
@Ru exactly. It’s the “not in my backyard” mentality
Against low income housing ? This city is against ANY housing contraction… No wonder the house price sky rocketed. The residents voted the policy it deserves - including defining the police and progressive DA with loose law enforcement.
@@k_ru2137 Sorry but I disagree. The people living in tents are not hard luck cases without housing options. The problem is the lack of political and ethical will to declare the mentally ill and drug addicts wards of the state.
@@rinwesley3092 what's there to disagree with? What I stated was a fact. You can look it up yourself, most of San Francisco is zoned for single family homes and whenever politicians put up rezoning for a vote the people vote against it. The people of San Francisco literally voted against a housing complex that would have housed elderly people in their units. The people fought tooth and nail against it. The reasoning behind it was multi level units would bring down their property value.
The difference between a million dollar condo and a homeless person's tent is only a mere few feet away from each other's dwelling
Million dollars today is so much weaker compare to 20 years ago.
And some indoor plumbing
In California millionaires are considered poor.
And meth
That's GOD saying
YOU'RE NO BETTER, CAUSE YOU'RE RICH
Visited San Francisco and the USA for the first time last week from the UK and stayed on Van Ness. I can safely say I'll NEVER come back to California, and will give the USA a miss for a while.
I was totally shocked that the USA has streets and areas like this and I definitely felt unsafe. The richer areas of Presidio or Pacific felt ok to be in but other than that SF is terrible.
I've been to Eastern Europe and Asia and I've never seen the same levels of crime, drug taking or smell of urine and shit on the streets. What went wrong USA? - I thought there was 'an American dream', not sure I see what is so attractive?
I watched video footage of every decade from the 1900s to present in san Francisco. Seeing what I saw, this is without a doubt the greatest crisis that has ever plagued the city in over 120 years.
No condo in the tenderloin is “luxury” I think those residents have been scammed.
lol, they over paid for trashy real estate
Anything near downtown will smell like urine, no matter how many millions you paid for it. You have to go a few miles south by the ballpark and spend 1.5 mil on a loft if you don’t want poop at your front door.
i am a moderate democrat.....I love what is happening to SF.....be careful what you wish for.....they dont have this shit going on in Texas I can tell you that....I know in SF a lot of people did not want military recruiters in the city.....i hope those same people step in human shit every day while walking down the sidewalk...
Even if one has all of that money to spend on that condo I just think "why?" Just look at the surrounding area. It doesn't make any sense.
You ain’t lying
I don’t know what’s more sad. The people who sleep outside or the people who paid 1 million dollars for a small apartment.
Really....like a million for that just ro sa"hey "
kind of hard to feel sorry for them, who thought that'd be a good idea?
Sad? How about dumb?
The units sold for a million but those are most like just renters.
Glad I am not the only one who thought this.
Enforce the laws (like school cities used to), put those suffering from mental illness into facilities to treat them, deal harshly with drug dealers in order to force them to do their work elsewhere...and many of the homeless who are drug-dependent will follow them. Whoever's left who refuse housing assistance (but who aren't causing problems) can stick around as long as they abide by the law and don't harass, threaten, or harm people. Not that simple but you have to start somewhere.
Nice to see the local community and businesses all pitching in to help these folks grow there community,
Zero sympathy. Every time there is a proposal to open a new homeless shelter, or build affordable housing in SF the locals fight it tooth and nail. They're super in favor of helping the homeless... just not in their neighborhood!
Not just that. Doesn't even have to be affordable housing or shelters, just any higher density housing will do. But people in res. zones wanna have their suburban dream. Tbh, I understand them, but the city pop grows and high density must expand, but so can the suburbs - cities are dynamic by nature, but a lot of people expect to have a small town vibe in the suburb forever.
It's true. In a nutshell... "Oh yeah, I'd love to help the homeless, let's build affordable housing and improve their quality of life. Just not in my backyard."
Street and foot traffic, drug abuse and crime go through the roof when they park low-income housing next door. You bought the place because it was a certain way and then someone comes along and says "It's gonna be different from now on, and screw your property values."
I don't feel TOO much pity for someone who can afford a million-dollar condo downtown, but most people in the suburbs are not rich. I know I worked my whole life to finally be able to borrow enough money to purchase my first home in my late 40s. If someone came along and devalued my property with the stroke of a pen, I'd be pissed. So would a millionaire. But it would really set ME back, as in years of hard work down the drain and more years of hard work tacked onto to the end of my life when I was really kinda hoping to retire.
many hypocrites indeed
great example of it was fun till it wasnt 🤣
30 years later: LUXURY TENT IN THE HEART OFF SAN FRANCISCO FOR $1 MILLION DOLLARS
hahahahahaha...I Love it....hahahaha
😆 🤣 😂
More like free condos in San Francisco after the local economy collapses
😂😂😂😂😂
What a dump !
The homeless issue in big cities never gets attention unless it interferes with people who make good money
My job dealt with homeless. I have seen guy with mutliple needles sticked to his legs. Saw young woman just passed out in cold winter rain. Guy got hit by car because he's tripping on something and decided to run across the road. I've been verbally harassed on a daily basis. It's a difficult situation for anyone living near homeless encampments.
But The City refuses to get tough on anyone. No one should know have to put up with this BS. Everyone is a victim. No one is responsible for there situation. Let's all join the pity party. After all it's not PC to speak of these poor vicinity disparaging terms. Swirling around the drain is a great thrill ride. Help those that truly want it. Run the rest out of town. SF has the worst codependent nature. It's a very sick city.
If one has to wade through that mass and stare at it from inside, it’s not a “luxury condo”.
It's an actual zombie apocalypse outside their from door.
Lmfao exactly!
They knew they built it in the roughest part of San Francisco. The Tenderloin. Then they act surprised
You'd be shocked how many of the elitist on the left actually embrace this. They want to be the 1% who lord over 99%, this is working as many of them intended.
"luxury"is used only for marketing and to justify an insane pricetag.
The best way to see San Francisco is through the rear-view mirror.
💀
This man said it best 😂
and LEAVE your LEFTIST voting habits there too!
@@Lauren-vd4qe a leftist wouldn’t leave SF. They enjoy walking through the homeless’ $hit.
@@bbrad628 ah, that SOO warms my heart...its best they stay in the scenario they voted in, right!
Californian authorities completely lost their minds letting all this homeless situation happening on a daily basis in SF, LA and other major cities. What a shame!
The shame is some Americans can afford to buy a million dollar apartment while other Americans have to live on the street, can't afford life saving medicine
Completely disgusting.
@@rqrs2301 Oh, puh-leaze. Hang out dow. There and watch how much is due to insisting in being a drunk or an addict. Give me a friggin break. Salvation Army is right tf there. Know why they won't go?
Because they're not handing out free room and board, that's why. Ask anyone who WAS like that.
Politicians not housing the homeless is as much a blight as the cost of living itself.
If only that city had a system of government where the citizens could vote and hold those responsible for allowing this to happen.
LOL!
Yes, if only...
LMAO
they do, unfortunately they always vote for the most far left kooks on the ticket, then they sit there in these circumstances and wonder what happened?
Gold!
That’s a luxury condo? Even without the squalor I would sure look elsewhere.
But big windows and white walls 😂
This is what happens when your compassion outweighs your common sense
2:16 “The police don’t actually come when we call 911…” Well, I guess it sounds like we need to defund them...
Can you imagine paying $1m to live next to that?
The millennial tower should be a good spot.
@@donlee.4308 🤣
No.
I would move into some hillbilly trailer court and live good. Retire. Drink 4 locos with the single mamas.
@@smokingjoe9864 I wanna trailer but I wanna travel. I'm a chef- I can flip burgers anywhere.
Imagine paying some of the highest real estate prices in the world and when you leave your house everyday you have to cover your mouth to stop from gagging from the smell of piss and shit
Ironic
🤣🤣🤣
It will get fixed when they vote for Gavin and Nancy!!!!!
Yeah but at least your local leaders support LGBT and BLM...
Meanwhile poor people in red states are better off because most red states have an industry that still pays well without a degree, like energy extraction or manufacturing.
That’s literally why it’s homelessness. Haha.
I am SF citizen. My yearly property keep goes up. My safety living in the city keeps getting worse. I will definitely to vote for Republican candidates from city major to city supervisor. There is just no rules every where in the city. I hope the position will get better.Homeless and wrap grab than lawful citizen.
VOTE OUT THE CITY OFFICIALS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS TRAGEDY
Nobody feels sorry for anyone in San Francisco… it’s their own fault.
Not just that city , California in general.
@@OPTexas Yes and no, I live in Riverside. This is a red county as is the majority of California. It’s pretty much LA, SF and Sacramento that cause the state to vote Blue. They pack as many rats into one shithole city and it decides the politics.
@@frankthetank5798 I’m from Houston & I feel they do the same here
SAY AMEN
Yeah they reap what they saw. Wish we could build a wall around CA instead of Mexico and keep them from leaving and poisoning the rest of the country with their voting patterns.
You get what you vote for. SF deserves all of it and more.
They deserve every single piece of crap that's on the floor. Same here in LA
Maybe shithole red states can start helping their destitute instead of chasing them away?
@@jeremys1648 because these criminals are all from red states. Typical liberal deflection.
@@Nessal83 being homeless is not a crime, at least yet if conservatives have their way. But yes, if shithole red states don’t take care of their own then those people will move somewhere that will at least try to help the disadvantaged therefore overloading their systems.
AGREED !
Frisco used to be so nice in the early 90s. Went there for Valentines with the wife our 1st time visiting this magnificent city. We stayed in Frisco and Sausalito for a week visiting all the sites. That was over 30 years ago and so sad how San Francisco has deteriorated 😞
Get rid of the expensive condo's, create affordable housing.
But the mayor doesn’t make mean tweets. That would be beyond the pale.
I was in San Francisco in May and while it is a beautiful city in some areas, it is being quickly ruined by corrupt politicians, and I'd be willing to bet a big majority of the people in that condominium keep helping to vote them in.
Keep voting Democrat, that will work. Democrats just need more votes and tax dollars! Right...
Do you really think decent people are voting these evil politicians in? The illegals and the ones we import from garbage countries are though, since they are the ones getting the freebies. And who do you think these evil city leaders are hiring to count the votes?
@@dimwitsadvocate6264 you are absolutely right. Something else I should have included in my previous comment, but I neglected to, while I was in San Francisco, the owner of the place we stayed (the Seal Rock Inn) gave me some insight into the problems, that the tax
@@dimwitsadvocate6264paying citizens are facing. Last year the city spent 300 million dollars to solve the homeless problem. They gave them all debit cards, government issue cell phones, free healthcare, even put shower facilities around the city. Oh and I don't want to forget...the gave them voter registration cards too
@@mikeadcock1592 Voter registration cards too? Wow! In the 2020 Presidential election my wife and I each received 3 mail-in ballots. There was no bar code to identify duplicates, only a signature and who looks at that. We threw away all 6 of them because we decided to vote in person.
The funny thing is when the police starts removing those hobos, the same people go and protest against it🤷🏻♂
It is a crying shame that the wealthy do not get more involved with helping the honeless, yet they complain about the problem and they have tons of resorces to combat the problem. No wealthy person in the United States have a right to complain about homelessness.
“We call the police and they just don’t come” 🤣
well they voted to defund the police lol
Why would they?
Most SF residents don’t want them.
911 is a joke lol
So sad!
Lol, defund the police!!! Am I right!
I love how shocked these people are. They act like this is new.
started after libs stopped locking up the insane and drug addicted FACTS
New to the rich, not to low income folks who put up with this for years.
KEEP VOTING DEMOCRAT!
Are you paying attention to them, too
Its like why did they move in there with ppl pooping and needles hanging out of their arm.
In my language there is a saying to describe this condition: "Dosli divlji, istjerali pitome". which translates to "Wild ones came, drove tame out".
Remember what the Hollies said: "He ain't heavy; he's my brother."
The mayor and the district attorney are doing a great job.
Yeah and the same ones are elected time and time again...
Chesa Boudin faces a recall election soon. Let's get rid of him.
Actually they are doing everything they promised
Recall lol
@@F8Tributo a recall isn’t going to do shit. San Francisco has a had a crime problem for a long time, it’s just now it’s getting more media coverage. Fix the systemic problems first, rampant inequality, gentrification, lack of mental health infrastructure etc
“Where units have sold for over $1M”. Hello…is there any property under $1M in San Francisco?
Imagine paying a million dollars for a condo in shithole san fransico 😂😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂couldnt be me
Right! This has been going on before covid it just got worse 🥺

Ehhh ,. What u talking’ bout imma da Pope , i gotta poop 💩 .,?i I drive the poop 💩 mobile… the pope he a poops ., capeeshhh 😉
That area always has been rough and these fools knew it when they moved in. Sure it's worse now, but it wasn't pretty before. And they're acting all dumbfounded 😂 They're at the edge of the Tenderloin!!!!!
@@whatabouttheearth ….Life goes on…they either move or deal with it…Mace their damn asses when they come towards you!
Not a single person in this stated concern for the souls with no home, living on a cement street.
Imagine walking out your front door, stepping over garbage, rats, used needles, a random person knocked out on the sidewalk, ...
One million dollars to live in absolute hell. I am sorry for everyone involved.
I'm not. They continue to vote for the type of people that let this shit happen.
I'm glad this is happening. For a long time privileged people would vote with their bleeding hearts for laws to allow this squalor but wouldn't see the consequences of their actions because it was only happening in working class neighborhoods. They're finally seeing what we've had to live with for so long and I hope the tents stay there.
Im not too familiar with laws and politics but what would they vote on that would allow this stuff to continue ?
@@Viralboyg Because they think they're being "kind" and saving the world, or something utopian like that.
@@Viralboyg Libtard law destroyed the city. Libtard law allowed this to happen and the beautiful people of SF keep voting the same politicians in and then they complain about crime and homelessness. Must be something in the water to keep SF residence IQ low and no common sense😂
@@dinosapien I don't think it's that at all. I would like to know who these people were, where they came from and why their families have not done more to support them. We don't exactly arrive in the world by accident, so there are more than a few requirements that can and should be expected. But if it turns out there are people who are just ignoring the problem of disparities in outcome simply because they are well off, then that is a much larger social problem. As I've said, people aren't simply here by accident and we each have some degree of responsibility for what is happening.
@@wj3186 You ARE the perfect resident for SF. The voters won't change so I cannot feel sorry for those people. In fact, putting their children in unnecessary harm would therefore make them bad parents. Just because you have a $1,000,000 home does not make you a good parent.
Last sentence from residence “this is such a wonderful place….” WHAT look around you, my god. Maybe decades ago, but definitely not now.
I thought she was trolling
Dumping 5 gallons of bleach water at a time out of those condo windows is a good start to making it better! Aim for the ones who harrass the most first!
A little slice of Pelosi heaven. She just bought a $25 million estate in south Florida! Wonder why??
@@petesdad100 I hope DeSantis throws that bitch in prison.
@@mikewillett5076 If it is the Millineum Tower it would just slide down and wash the cracked windows!
I do not really understand how this can happen. I am not from the US, and I have never seen a tent outside of the woods in my country. I do not even think you can assemble the tent in a city before the police comes and asks you to leave. How can people tolerate such a thing?
Because the government doesn’t actually give a shit 😂
Home owners have no rights, renters have no rights, however the homeless has all the rights. I'm so glad my daughter is leaving SF.
When Poverty and wealth collide. No longer is poverty in the background. It's in your face.
Democratic Polticians are to blame.
“I don’t want to be afraid to live here” Then vote appropriately…….
it's funny how a lot of us on here have said the same thing, but they just CAN'T ! they can't do it and vote against their heroes the Democrats, and old Gavin getting re-elected again by almost the same margin as when he was last elected proves this !!
You obviously haven't been to 3rd world country.
I do recognize that the Dems have not fixed the housing crisis in California. That should be addressed with the upmost scrutiny. However, people sometimes pretend that simply electing a republican will solve an issue. As if some of the poorest states, counties, and districts aren't run by Republicans. As if rural Alabama and rural Mississippi, places that would never elect a liberal, are somehow havens.
@@Chimera_166 Learn to read
No fucking move that's the answer. I'm from the city I have still yet to understand these people. They complain and complain as everything is perfectly fine in their lives, financially speaking. They literally have the luxury to get up and move anywhere they want in the world. Not every single person per se but let's be real here a lot of them could especially with remote work right now. I just don't get why you would pay all that fucking money to live right next to homeless people then cry about it???
I'm paying 585 dollars for my apartment and I would rather live here than there. You can keep your luxury.
imagine paying 4k a month and not caring about the homeless but instead just finding them a nuisance.
You get what you vote for. You’d think people would learn.
So they voted for homeless squatters ?
you get easy drugs from all over the world (and every single person who has bought any narcotic is complicit in supporting this supply) plus sf providing services to those with substance abuse/mental health/homelessness problems but none of the smaller towns and counties providing nearly the same services and this is the result.
@@erikvasquezs essentially, yes
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DEMOCRATS! THEY RUN THE STATE..
vcash97 I am talking about Democrats. They run all of our shit hole cities. They criticize leo, they preach equality and equity b.s. But then complain and beg for police, and build walls, when it suits them. Let’s all guess who the multi colored hair girl voted for, and will continue to vote for 🥴
If you want to get rid of the homeless problem, maybe stop voting for policies and politicians that make homelessness an industry.
@Save 🇺🇸 You aren't that ignorant right? You realize she's a member of the United States Congress right? Right?
@Save 🇺🇸 Well I hope you've written a sternly worded email to Cadet Bone Spurs about the homelessness problem in Palm Beach.
It doesn't matter who you vote for. The solution that all politicians implement for the American homelessness problem is to pass it on to someone else, namely diverse and low-income communities. If the homeless are forced to move to a different location without providing them adequate housing, that's not getting rid of the problem.
Nice
There is a national housing crisis that has existed since the Great Recession.
There’s nothing here that the people of San Francisco did not vote for!
The open drug use used to really pissed me off when i lived in San Francisco 20 years ago. Really sad small children have to see that type of activity
If I were homeless, I'd go to San Francisco too! Perfect tent weather all year round. Summer in Houston? Nope. Winter in Chicago? Hell no.
But there’s no need for the violence and drugs, that’s what they’re upset about.
SF has a coldest summer, look it up ... I would go to another shettown called los Angeles if you dont like cold weather.
@whiteapologistsarefkndum oh look, a comment from someone who has never been to san francisco... it gets cold in summer because it's foggy all year round, buddy. and that's not just a slogan from a t-shirt, it's something a famous author said because it was his lived experience.
LA is so much better. Not too cold not too hot.
@@MsTinkerbelle87 hobo: lets get some money from rich guys and score some dope
“This is a wonderful place” - wtf she been smoking in that alley
This is unacceptable people should not live in fear. I myself have faced homelessness but I did something about it. However it is NOT an excuse to terrorize local residents, stealing, causing mayhem. Green hair, no hair, living in fear is a real thing. I lived next door to people who were resident terrors drinking, domestic violence, kicking in doors aggressively, puking on stairwells & I didn't live in a 1M dollar condo but in Burien WA. Sanctioned encampments not residential areas.
Why has condo owners not put a security guard or 2 around the building.
Mayor is doing a great job, SF deserve what they voted for
dems being dems. i love that i dont live in glorified ghettos like SF and LA
And the DA is doing even better job than the mayor (in driving up the crime rates and driving out businesses).
🙌
Indeed. The liberal mind. WAIT!!! Not in my backyard 👌
And they need to stay there and enjoy it. Quit moving to other states and ruining them. You California people defile everything you touch.
Wealthy condo owner: "my friends never visit me anymore!"☕☕
This is a country ostensibly in the first world. This is disgusting.
So what is the solution?
Give medical attention (physical and mental)?
Give a temporarily home?
Help them get jobs?
Am I missing anything?

both of which occupying like 3 blocks. u dnt see it unless u look for it. just news bullshit
Great observation.
Lol stay in Shenzhen not San franshithole
Tech didn't create the problem. Cities attract the homeless. To fix the homeless problem cities should provide services in empty rural areas well away from the city or any town. Free transportation, free food, free shelter, free mental health treatment, free drugs, free alcohol, free cigarettes, free television, and an opportunity to work their way out if they want to do so.
I've worked with the homeless for many decades. I've heard all the excuses. In the end there are a large majority that want free stuff without rules. Give it to them somewhere else.
@@Handobolo are you kidding? Try the entire Tenderloin, most of the Financial district, all over Pier 39, most of SoMa, half of Mission, etc etc. Its BAD. And it’s gotten much much worse in the last couple years. And I’ve lived here for more than 17 years.
The real crime here is being charged a million for a condo .
All these people paying those sky high rents are complaining and wondering how this mess happened. Guess what, you voted for it again and again.
I grew up in Santa Cruz ca. In the 80’s and 90’s and San Francisco was seen as this awesome place to go every once in a while. Now it’s a dump and I have almost zero interest in going

I don’t think 80s/90s SF was exactly Disneyland either though
I lived in Seattle in 96. Left to go back to Boston after school but I always wanted to go back. I just got back. I missed the place so much. But this is not Seattle from 96. It's like I stepped into the twilight zone. The city is in shambles. Tents everywhere. Drugs rampant. Filth. This place once had cleanest streets. Now people shit o. Side walk cause businesses downtown won't allow people to use bathroom. It's horrifying. I can't believe what happened to this great city. The only city not fucked in Boston whence I came but I'll never go back. I'd rather live with rats in Seattle
@@Heytaylorj that’s an asinine and careless comment, sorry. Correct, it was not an amusement park. However it was a beautiful city that you could take your family to without fear, without being harassed and without having to walk down the sidewalk with your face looking down for fear of stepping in human crap. People from all over the world bustled down the streets, on the cable cars, through the financial district all year round. The crowds that would watch the tree lighting in Union Square where United and kind to each other, filled with Christmas spirit. You could go clubbing at night and not have to constantly watch your 6, people where cool. You could explore and find new areas without the threat of “turning down the wrong street”.
San Fransisco, The City by the Bay, wasn’t perfect in the 80’s/90’s, no place is or ever had been perfect. But it wasn’t the toilet it is today.
@@iamdjsluggo I was referring to the overall safety of the city, not the cleanliness. And, by the way, you literally agree with my point in your second sentence: "Correct, it was not an amusement park." Okay, then how was my comment asinine and careless if you just agreed with it?
Speaking of a careless comment, you say "you could explore and find new areas without the threat of 'turning down the wrong street.'" This leads me to believe you actually have no idea what the city was like during this time. If you did, you would know that "turning down the wrong street" in the 80s and 90s in neighborhoods like the Mission, SoMa, or the Western Addition could get you robbed, assaulted, or even killed. Violent crime in San Francisco, much like cities across America, was 2x higher during this time period than it is today (source: Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Report 1960-2002 and the California Department of Justice’s Criminal Justice Statistics Center, California Crimes and Clearances Files, 2003-2019.)
But if San Francisco to you only means Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf, then sure, I take your points.
I am shocked, shocked that there are homeless people in the Tenderloin.
Crazy how a place that sounds so delicious and pleasant could literally be the opposite.
I'm shocked they found people slow enough to purchase real estate there
Don’t use drugs and at 99% you’ll have the capacity to handle an home.

It’s funny cause I spoke to a friend in Australia who isn’t vaxxed and he said the days are getting longer.

They do tax hard lol
Unfortunately, due to COVID, we no longer need to ever do shit.
Homelessness and shoplifting is symptom of a much larger problem. Arresting homeless costs more tax dollars than just providing free housing. I want them off the streets to, but this way of thinking is horribly wrong and expensive.
Gentrification meets defunded police with a side of zero accountability
San Franciscans get what they deserve
They reap what they sow.
Nobody has defunded the police dummy.
@@far574 shocking Libs using semantics. Do you really need us to explain it to you dummy?
@@miked8249 I will be all ears 👂
As a Japanese, I hate the city of San Francisco which built up a comfort women statue in the middle of the city, in an attempt to insult us. My sympathy does not extend to the people of the city. Before throwing dirt at the people of other country, look yourself.
No one is forcing them to live there. Every place has pros/cons and changing conditions.
“How did this happen? I only voted for the politicians that enable this.”
KEEP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS! KEEP PELOSI IN POWER!
DEFUND THE POLICE TOO!
I still don't understand how it can be legal to put up a tent on a public sidewalk or dump garbage on the sidewalk.
So they pay 1 million for apartments, and want these poor people to rent apartment next to them? 😆 why do you choose this life? The apartments are only 1 million.
(though I supported the movement) Occupy SF back in 2012 ended, and the well meaning protesters gave tents to the homeless, as a gesture of good will.
The police don't enforce the laws, and even if they do the DA drops most charges.
@@greenman8 do you have million dollar house? Well some locals can't pay that idiot. So suck it up.
@@mrsleep0000 once again. . .at least 1 or 2 are locals. Apartment's are obviously in millions. These poor people can't afford them. Help out. . .or you leave. Maybe give one of them one of your million dollar Apartment's since you want them off street so bad.
I'm going to be perfectly clear I am not a heartless the town I live in we have a homeless problem ourselves and me being low income I have to see it on a daily basis while I'm out cutting a living for myself and living out of a hotel all at the same time so I try not to complain but when you see the same people everyday out there begging and being an otherwise absolute disturbance to the community at first you ask yourself it's in their help out there for stuff like this and yes there is and I know it's hard to access but it's accessible but there are some of these homeless people who are just not willing to change and don't give me that BS about mental disorder and all that junk I have post-traumatic stress anxiety depression a whole boatload of other stuff I have to deal with on a daily basis and you don't see me on the street like some common animal and yes you know I've asked for help for because of my situation and I always get turned away so before you bust out the pity wagon for the homeless remember some of them chose this lifestyle there are ways supporting yourself and surviving you just got to be willing to do it and some people aren't willing to do it so in my opinion I think the city needs to be a little bit harder on the homeless population any City for that matter this day and age there should be no such thing as homeless camps and I also understand homeless shelters are rough but you got to be willing to change your life and if you're not willing to change your life take what comes with you except it as is or try to change it don't expect the government or society to pick up where you can't
Well stated
You folks don't seem to understand--there's nowhere for the homeless to go to. Not enough affordable housing. It's a very complex problem.
If you want to help, talk to one of these homeless people and advocate for them. You know, hook them up with someone who can help them straighten their lives out. You can help too! Be moral support, help them find other people who can help change their lives.
You want to criticize without knowing anything about the problems homeless face. The reason some homeless people don't have jobs is because when one becomes homeless THAT becomes a full-time job!!! Ask me how I know....
Homeless people like to eat, have to go to the bathroom and like a shower too! The majority have no access to basic necessities....
"If you can't make a situation better, at least don't make it worse" by criticizing, denigrating and blaming people for situations they may not be able to control....
@matthew heady You have found your way and have a roof over your head--but someone helped you. It's OK for you, but not other homeless people?
A lot of these folks are drowning, through no fault of their own. To paint them all with a broad brush that they want to live like that is false. When someone is drowning at the beach we don't send another drowning person to save them, do we??? NO, we send out a lifeguard who has the skills to save them. THAT is what society is!!! The fact that you don't understand that shows that our education system is failing.....
we need to be more humane to the homeless... I'm donating more tents .. who's with me???
SF residents: DEFUND ALL POLICE! ABOLISH ALL LAW! WELCOME EVERYONE!
Also SF residents: Omg police won't help us with these homeless people 🥺
On top of that, they allowed their terrible governor to remain in office.

“This is such a wonderful place to live.” Seriously? I missed what part is bearable, let alone wonderful.
It’s not wonderful. It’s a dangerous and dirty pit that is one giant failed social experiment in leftism.
Ive been to san Francisco as a tourist and the thing that stood out to me the most was the huge homelessness problem. But I witnessed the same if not worse in parts of LA
What a wonderful place. Woww
just the return address on an envelope sent out
@@bugspray5286 dangerous? Lol less murders than most major cities by far. Also it’s 2nd most densely populated city in America. Also, guess where most your tech and apps are created
I cannot feel sorry for San Francisco residents. They vote for the officials that make this possible. Vote for law and order people, and you will have law and order. It couldn’t be simpler.
And the higest paid mayor in usa belongs to this city. You deserve what you voted for. If you read the laws carefully you will find your city council members criminals. I remember when I use to work in San Francisco, Diane Fiensten was the mayor and city was proud of it. Shame on the city council and the justice system of San Francisco.
Question you need to ask the city council members and the may is why there is no drug and home less problems in the city of Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, San Jose or even cities like
Richmond, El Cerito, Pinole.
Ah yes, “homelessness” is the problem…
So true
Even the victims have victims
That’s why I don’t watch TV now I see what the news is really about, hateful to the the less unfortunate
You are right. The problem is actually liberals, like you
They can't sell the house? Almost like it's overpriced and in the middle of a crackhead junkyard and WORTHLESS in reality.
Anyone with this shit outside their house should have reduced rent prices by like 40%. This activity should devalue the property.
@@cherrypopp7210 Well 30 years ago they started up-bidding the already expensive property & made it astronomical. Then they decided to gentrify the slums... but the stupid wannabe Stalinists forgot to exile or incarcerate all the poor & mentally ill. So they got stuck in self imposed gulags where they can't even sell their pretty little dachas. LOL
San Francisco is so special, its the Paris of the west, there's so much history here and there's still history being made where you look. It should be a positive, creative city,, just my opinion.. we need to clean up shop.
Oh the irony of it all. Spending millions of dollars to live in a ghetto.
That's what happens when people want to live in sf only to show off and say "they live in the city". Now, living in the city is a joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One year later and the "crisis" is still getting worse.
40% of the people making over $250,000 a year live paycheck to paycheck this is what they look like
South Park was so on point with the San Francisco episode 😂
which episode is it? thanks
When is South Park ever wrong
CALIFORNIA SUPER COOL TO THE HOMELESS IN THE CITY🎶 CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO THEY TAKE REALLY CARE OF ALL THERE HOMELESS 🎶🎶🎶🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@adolfhilter
It's the homeless episode in season 11
So, the current mayor, most city counsel members, the State Rep, the US State Rep, The US Senator and even the Governor have all been elected or reelected in the last few years. They all won their seats by a considerable margin. My point is, this is what you voted for.
💯... not feeling bad at all for these clowns.
There is a national housing crisis
Exactly
@@peterwyattmiddleton A national housing crisis that somehow mostly causes homelessness in Democratic areas. There's a short term national housing crisis caused by covid, but California's housing crisis is a decade old and a million times worse than anywhere else. Half of America's unsheltered homeless live in California and LA County has more homeless people than Texas and Florida combined, so no, this is not a national problem the way you're acting like it is
@@joni1405 if I were homeless, I wouldn’t want to move anywhere it snows, floods or anywhere with severe weather. California has probably the best weather of all the states.
How is there this much poverty and squalor in the wealthiest and most advantaged country in all of human history?
The residents are the very same people who refuse to allow the city to move these "poor people" until they were at their own doorstep.
I just love seeing their dreams realized. They worked every angle possible to get there, and finally, they get rewarded. Now they've accomplished all this, they want to flood your city and spread the love.
Who are they?
Facts. But its OK the ones that are conservative are the real problem. Not this complete blue state team of politicians. Look at chicago or nyc crazy crime there and homelessness. Surprised they are also blue?
@@fedism imagine a man comes into the hospital with a massively infected wound in his leg. it needs to be amputated. the republican doctor says this will cost to much and wont fully fix the leg so might as well do nothing. the democrat doctor doesnt think its their place to take the leg away from the man or to hurt him, so also choose to do nothing.
Americans need to unite and stand up against both these parties. KKK marching with BLM against these evil politicians

Keep electing these same people to office and it will just get worse. Not better.
Keep making every card board box house worth 1 million dollars. And keep asking poor people why they ain't in one? 😆 🤣 😂 if your making prices higher around your neighborhood where people can't afford it. . .quit your crying. 👌
Well you gonna put another liberal minded official , it won’t change a thing..
@@donlee.4308 keep making all property 1/4 million dollars++ and only mcdondalds for average joe. Average Joe can't even afford to live in his own city, repub or dem in charge dont matter. Million dollars new condos basicly kick out the poor. With no alternatives. But lots of critiques. Obviously its working well for us, lots of big cities are looking like this.
@@manuelrojas6912 Dude, you appear to have ZERO understanding of economics.
@@manuelrojas6912 there’s alternative, it’s just the city are too lazy to do it. They can increase a tax for 5c, and have this homeless people shipped to the plains. Wyoming, Montana, Dakotas, Iowa, and Nebraska. Homeless people can start a new life on those states with help of federal taxes besides those states needs population anyways. It’s just the city and California too lazy to do it but they have time passing gender studies and other unnecessary stuff that people don’t even need.
Thanks to mayor and the governor that bring this to many communities.
I called the city. The mayor has instructed the police not to move them. They will only come out if they are blocking the whole street where you can’t walk pass.
Should of built a luxury homeless facility instead.
Who's paying for it?
@@eveharris30 7.9 billion ppl in the world. 3.9 pays taxes. So the government.
@@eveharris30 we would
@@eveharris30 Its cute you think we aren't already paying for homeless. You think constantly cleaning up those streets, and using resources to move those people, just for them to come back the next day, isnt costing us anything? A homeless facility gets them off the streets and will cost less in the long run.
What ever is spent on homelessness needs to be doubled
Like super-rich high-rises, in the middle of the poorest slums of India...
'MERICA!
Welcome to the greatest country on Earth!!!!
This country is so messed up. No wonder why these people are homeless who can afford a million-dollar condo? Most can't!
Does anyone have a solution for this?
