Here's the Complete Video: • There is NO Solution t... I explored San Francisco's homeless camps to show you how bad things are. #california #homeless #shorts
@davidpaul6615 It's not just the homeless situation, but also the energy and conditions. There's foot traffic and vibrant customers with clean streets and a unifying sports team despite the pockets of blight. Sadly, San Francisco just seems drained of energy.
Kind of like House Republicans not helping pass border security legislation.They won’t do that because they wouldn’t be able to complain,blame,and finger point any longer.
@@ShaeNik Most of these problems come from bad policies and from politicians siding with corporations/wall street over regular people. Corporations being allowed to own large amounts of housing and using their vast resources to outbid normal people, increasing the price of homes, making it impossible for most people to buy.
Newsom needs to be held accountable for the homeless problems in CA! Where's the $24 BILLION funded to the homeless program? $24 BILLION in FIVE years, where is it? What was the money spent on? Where are the receipts 😡
@@shersunn and there’s your problem, want change but continues defending the same system that wants to kill them😂😂 you 🐑🐑 will never learn and deserve being deceived. Who knows maybe you’ll take in some of those homeless people 🤡🤡
It used to be a San Francisco problem when he was mayor, now the problem he created has spread statewide when he became governor… The city and the state of California used to be golden with opportunities and unmatched beauty. Now we’re the Late Great Golden State.
@@sonyasever7625 That is true - in recent primaries in California, more than 3 milion people voted for semi senile man. Trump is not any better, but at least he still has his cognitive abilities intact.
@@annawarner1078 : Fair point, but it seems that @sonysaver7625's premise flew right over your head. The problem with our political system is how rigged it is, we are made to believe that there are only two party choices when it comes to voting. As long as we keep voting for either of the main political parties (Dem or Republican), things will keep getting worse. It's not a real choice. It is more crucial than ever to take our vote away from the two political parties have the mainstream media/news bought off. It's time to vote in masse for a third party candidate that isn't beholden to the military industrial complex or a foreign nation's government that feels it can dictate and get its way regardless of how jeopardizing that is for the average American.
@@frenne_dilleyI agree and recently changed my political views once I understood the actual politics of politics. Most people read the news or listen to others and just regurgitate what the masses say. I was one of those people to be fair… but I noticed something is seriously wrong with this country in the last few years and I did the Trump blaming like a sheep because everyone else did. Now I actually understand politics and what’s going on and why everything seems so out of control. Yes, the pandemic happened but that’s not it… it’s way deeper and much worse
Thousands of people are protesting about Palestine, so why not protest about this? Our own people are suffering and dying with no help. We can't ignore this problem!😢
Are you kidding?! You can’t compare it. Palestinians are being slaughtered. Babies and kids are being killed by the isra*li occupation force. It’s an illegal occupation and it’s being done using our American tax dollars! Yes the homeless problem here is big and needs to be addressed, but it’s not the same. People aren’t being killed intentionally. Ethnically cleansed… wiped out because of their ethnicity… both Christian and Muslim Palestinians… it’s not about religion and it’s not “khamas”
How many billions do we give to Israel while our own people are hurting? They don't have this problem . God I hope you people wake up to the evil spell cast by the synagogue of Satan.
Even third world don’t look like this. My country is has no drugs on the street yet everyone you see is either working or hustle commuting in the streets
This is the America doesn't want to show the rest of the world being the most wealthiest country in world history. I hate that they always point out China as the bad guy
There's not enough people talking about how everyone is being prescribed SSRI's for depression when really most people's lives just aren't great. People are isolated, lonely, and feel totally powerless in their own lives. That's not a chemical imbalance it's a social imbalance.
@@brianvalenti1207 I'm assuming you're talking about Conservatives? I mean, if inflation is the problem, Republicans are more responsible for it than Democrats. Trump added more debt in 2020 (3.8 Trillion) than Biden has added in his entire term. In fact, only the Democrats have been trying to do anything about it. Republicans are too worried about DEI, Wokism, LGBTQ restrictions, and their fake impeachment.
@@Gravyballs2011 Dont gaslight. We've all known W.V. has been poor for a century or more. Its very alarming to see San Fran fall to its knees so quickly -
That's one way to let everyone know that you have no clue whatsoever about the struggles of people in third world countries. Many of them have no options. Anyone living near or in San Francisco have all the opportunity in the world and choose not yo utilize them. Big difference
@@bradsanders407 You’re not seeing the issue here. The reason these people are homeless is largely because of drug abuse and mental illness. It’s not really about the lack of striving for opportunity. That’s just a weak and petty argument that more fortunate people use to belittle those less fortunate than them. If you’re a crackhead, no amount of opportunity in the world would stop you from wasting it on your next fix. Not everyone can be a functioning drug addict, and drugs can also awaken and cause destabilizing mental illnesses. The issue here is drugs and lack of rehabilitation and mental institutions for those with these issues. I assure you, most mentally stable people if knowledgeable and have resources to, will take the opportunities presented, which is why the market is always competitive.
Its a big city. Ur probably from some small suburb. That kind of lifestyle will always exist in the big inner cities. They can arrest as many as they want it till continue to come back until someone finds a better way to help with addiction
That is what is destorying this United States. Drugs that were voted in by the voters. They even give you free niddles and have someone on stand by to treat you if you overdose. We taxpayers are paying for it.
@@jayo9750ya but just letting it happen isnt the solution. I lived in oregon for 8 years about 3 hours from portland. They decriminalized drugs and the city is a shit hole not like it used to be. Looks just like this video homeless tents, used needles, people breaking into cars when your at the gas station, stores borded up because of the riots opps im sorry "mostly peaceful protests" I finally moved out of oregon and last i heard they were starting to charge people for drugs to try to clean up the mess they made.
@@sussybaca7256 people think this is something new. Ive lived here my entire life. It used to be all over the city. Now its just mostly in the TL. They contain it to one area so it dosent spread out. Now that their hitting the tl it will spread out to the rest of the city. U can never fully get rid of it. U get rid of these people doing it and new ones come in right after
@@jayo9750Really? It used to be all over the city? I was in San Fran ten-years ago and went all over downtown, walked numerous times to the The Castro and back and saw and walked around downtown Oakland nearing sunset. I never saw anything like this. I'm sure it's not everywhere maybe people exaggerate but downtown areas I recognize looked much cleaner back then, even with a couple of homeless people hanging out, though never in such large groups.
The tent at 40-41 is in front of an elementary school. I work around the corner. The poor parents have to walk their kids past the homeless, drug dealers, and the 5150s. Pathetic.
I am from South Georgia. I visited San Francisco in 2005. I remember seeing George W Bush flags hanging out of windows with a bullseye between his eyes. I remember thinking, these people are more obsessed with a politician than they are about making their life better. I was glad to get back home to Georgia.
George Bush and his China trade agreement is one of the main reason our nation is destroyed and corporation lawlessness and Armageddon America was never Free built on Family members blood so why would you give our nation to corporations just like Jesus Christ said 🙏
@@TomikaKelly Yeah, definitely not the fault of the liberal politicians running the state that are passing the laws that are creating these problems. Must the fault of the Republicans in Iowa.
Its not just San Fran, this is happening in cities all over the USA. We have a healthcare and housing crisis, and none of our politicians, state or federal, are doing anything about it.
@@peekaboots01 Why aren't you enjoying your Socialism...? This is what Socialist filth always do... Socialists are like a disease, and they never seem to learn from their mistakes; although, it could also be argued, that the poverty and misery which they create isn't by accident... It's called problem -> reaction -> solution... In order to achieve their utopia, they must first destroy what existed before... These Socialists are truly vile monsters...
Exactly. Controversially I do* support Newsom's recent action on re-opening institutions in CA for the severely mentally ill. Also like the investments in Community Health Centers model etc. for substance abuse SUDs. *Medi-Cal coverage of SUDs is commendable. And expansion under ACA made more qualify. Now Biden should really campaign promise another Medicaid Expansion - up to 150% poverty line @ least. Would b hugely popular
This problem didn’t happen overnight. When Grease head Newsome was mayor of San Francisco what did he do? Nothing! But did have time to cheat on his wife, which made front page news
@@redman840 He is not in office, genius. Are you asleep? He is the one who was working on building The Wall, which the current administration completely sabotaged. At least he was working on trying to remedy part of the problem.
How can a country give billions upon billions of tax payer's money to other countries when it's own citizens are suffering. This is ridiculous!! What the hell is wrong with our government?
You have to inform yourself. 1) the USA is not giving billions upon billions of tax money to other countries, it’s giving OLD WEAPONS AND AMMUNITION worth billions, which is extremely different. 2) these cities have all the money they want to fix their problems, and San Francisco throws BILLIONS every year toward homelessness… the problem is that the politics of the city and of California suck, because the administrations there protect criminals, incentivize addiction and entire homeless people from all over the country to go there and be maintained by the state. And finally 3) America is rich and prosper because it’s the world’s biggest geopolitical and military superpower. That status GIVES untold economic advantages to America and the American people, from creating infinite debt without having to worry, to tons of markets and foreign countries buying American products and implementing pro-American economic reforms… now, if we stopped doing all of that because “it’s expensive” we wouldn’t save money at all: we would LOSE MONEY, because all of the geopolitical agreements that result in massive gains for the US economy would simply fall flat without our geopolitical power to back them up. So if you really love America and your prosperity, I suggest you start rethinking the way you conceive economics, because if America stops being a geopolitical superpower her economy also makes bye bye.
Food and housing costs double every 4-5. Actual salaries of the lower classes double around every 20 years. Anyone with a brain can see how that creates an unsustainable downward logarithmic trend
Actually, it's been over 20 years and the salaries of the lower classes in a lot of states is still $7.25. The housing costs still doubles every 4-5 years in those states.
This is why I moved as far away from these garbage dump cities as possible. I moved so far away that google maps can't find me and I love it. 4.5 miles back a dirt road, no street lights, no traffic, no nosey neighbors, peaceful, quiet, and we keep it that way and no homeless. You would be eaten by the mountain lions or grizzly bears 🐻. Get as far away from these garbage dump cities as possible. You will thank me.
That's fine and all,,but not smart to mock those poor people god loves everyone..mocking them and talking bad about them will only upset the good Lord..watch what you say..
You say this now but if someone like me moved within two miles of you we both know you'd be on the internet whining about how Californians are ruining everything.
@@joeoge9347 lmao it's like you libs love having your heads in the sand. "It's right wing" so it's automatically bad, don't even have to consider the point at all just bad because right.
This is what happens when you defund the police, decriminalize drugs, and let criminals out of jail with no bond, and allow stealing up to 1000 without any penalty.
@@greenspiraldragon sure haha. just blame random shit without naming the real problems. you go girl. If you are clueless about the subject, just be quiet.
California Governor Newsom talks a lot in media but has done hardly any thing to improve two big cities (SF and LA) in CA. He should be replaced with someone who really cares and listen to people issues (theft, safety, homeless, drugs, violence) in these cities

You know instead of sending billions to the Ukraine and other countries for weapons and Aid how about putting some of that money in Americas homeless & recovery issues.
80% + of that monney will be on the oversea banks of rulling elite, not in Ukraine, or elsewhere. And 2/3rds of monney in Ukraine will be stollen by their ✡ taykoons!
You have plenty of money - you simply vote for politicians who refuse to fund proper health, welfare and housing services. It's a disgrace. In Finland, they have reduced homelessness to near zero. It can be done if the political will is there.
no, the saddest part of this is the suffering of the poor on the streets. thru out time no one suffers like the poor. but i do agree with your assement of the reason. america is being destroyed from within. time to act everyone, unify and stand as one. founding fathers told us it is our duty. as one we win. the only way we win is together….
@lucksonmutiwekuziwa9948 I grew up with a biblical lense. I see a tonne of refusal of the conservatives to help the poor, the people with mental health care needs, the people with addiction issues; instead just judgment. This hypocrisy is exactly why I left the church, and why so many more people are leaving
How can the politicians help the homeless when our money needs to go pay for ALL of Ukraine and their pensions. Yes and send any left over taxes to Israel.
In Europe, even the most poor countries and the poorest cities don’t have neighborhoods that looks as bad as this. Crazy how the US doesn’t immediately wants to do something about it
Being poor doesn't mean you have to live on top of a turd , you dont need money to live cleanly. also i disagree... look into documentaries of gypsy ghettos ALbania, bulgaria
In US, the so called “slums” are the junkies or mentally ill (software) but the actual infrastructure (hardware) you see in the background look first world. In Europe and Asia, the slums seen are in the actual backdrop of the buildings, the hardware, the appearance of the city.. other than the people.
@@Johnnyffd-ml9mkyou re thinking wrong. I love and travel across the European countries and I have never seen something even close to NYC and San Francisco.
I volunteer in one of SF's biggest soup kitchens, it's crazy how many are from red states that move here because they know they've got a better chance at access to help than their own states but they've overloaded the system. It's what happens when Republicans don't take mental health and other issues seriously. but instead just complain about them.
@@user-k4d-e59mo28oc i've heard tens of dozens of reasons 🤷🏻. some did, Son didn't and Some got kicked out for one reason or another. One couple with a kid came here because they kept getting screwed around with their tanf benefits. they came this way because they'd heard democratics lean more towards helping with social than republicans which in part is true. they moved when their area once again cut funding and saw that California had raised theirs, not realising we did that to combat the strain of influxes before them.
I visited San Francisco back in the ‘80’s while in the Navy. I’m so thankful I saw it when it was such a beautiful city. This is absolutely pitiful today.
Florida is just as bad but Dems don't exploit that for political gain. Instead they try to address the root of the problem which is the fact that our economic system is broken. Trickle-down economics, which started under Reagan, has been a failure.
When you stop voting Blue or Red and actually start voting for your national interest this shit won't happen, people need to stop emotional voting and start voting for smart young passionate nationalist leaders. As the other guy said, Alabama and many red states aren't any different.
@@orlando198200actually yes, red states have the smallest homeless populations and lower crime rates. California, New York, New Mexico, and Illinois are all blue states and have some horrible homeless issues. Meanwhile Utah, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Kentucky are red states and they have significantly less problems with homeless and drug addiction, hell even Texas’s homeless population isn’t that bad despite the state being home to 30 million people
It's growing exponentially here in the Northwest as well. Seattle did it to itself collecting junkies from other states. Thanks fanatically liberal politicians.

There is only one answer to all of our problems here in the USA and that is Government Reform, term limits, yearly audits on all Politicians earnings and no favors for Special Interests groups, that's just a start. If our Government says they care about us and are here to lookout for our best interest, then they shouldn't have a problem with this, right? 😮
your loss. San Francisco has its very real troubles, but my gosh there are so many beauties still. I’m born and raised here and every day I am grateful to live in this city, to see our sights, and connect with our folks. My gratitude and awe constantly outweigh my disdain and heartbreak for our homelessness crisis. It is really just downtown sf that has these severe problems, go most anywhere else in SF and it’s not like this.
@@keirameyer3522 has downtown gotten worst? I've been there in 2019 and sf downtown is better looking than mine. Alot cleaner. I didn't see any homeless people.
The core problem; DON'T ALLOW CORPORATIONS TO OWN RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. It causes a domino effect on the economy and the public. Housing & land is a utility, like water and electricity, not for profit or business.
That's happening in Arizona right now I think it's 3 or 4 large corporations bought about a third of homes for sale and drove up the prices of houses to where the average person can't afford it.
Problems* lack of affordable housing, lack of health resources (mental and physical) and lastly a lack of good paying jobs. Min wage doesn’t cover most rent. Jobs for people out of college isn’t that high either so they’re better off but it’s take awhile to actually see it benefit them. I think many places have the resources to fix these issues but keeps make “quick fixes” that create more problems.
You must've forgot that around 73 percent of the homeless in California are from out of state. They specifically chose to come here since this state is a mirage of paradise regarding government support and handouts for absolutely nothing.
@@7he.Polexican it's also warm all year here unlike other places where they could suffer from heat or cold exposure.The perfect temperature range to live outside.
That’s interesting. In Republican strongholds like Phoenix and my hometown San Diego, the homeless populations are just as high. Would you blame decades of conservative policies, then? Yeah, thought as much.
@@Katnip-hn6zi It's a matter of personal choice. Listen to any of the interviews of homeless encampments and they say they choose this life over getting help. It's not a Republican or Democrat issue.
They voted for this, and they'll keep voting for it. Also, the crime wave wasn't mentioned in this clip; SF residents voted for it, too. "One reason for homelessness is mental illness"; having lived near SF for decades and visited there dozens of times, I believe that most of this city's residents have some mental illness.
I was there in the 1970s, lots of homeless then, but no tents. I slept in Golden Gate park a few times. Luckily I could donate plasma and make a little for a room, and lots of places gave free food. I started college in California which was free for poor people and ended up becoming a professional who could buy a house but only in the Midwest where they were cheap once. Love to all.
@@imamyousomtimes I think it is terrible that people don't have legal areas to be when they are poor. One of the great things about America, unless black or Indigenous, was the idea of going into the wilderness and building a shelter or even a village. USA has a lot of space, but rules that don't allow much freedom. People still find different ways to exist, and some do well but from the inside, USA is crumbling. A lot of people lost all their savings and shelter in 2008, but the banks didn't. We have powerful companies buying real estate and many jobs went overseas. I think it is sad and frightening. I don't have answers. I realize drugs are part of the problem, but alcohol is a drug and has been around for thousands of years. Maybe that's why some cultures ban it, because it is destructive to families and a person's soul.
@@AhJodie I think there is such a frenzy to make money from real estate that owners will charge too much for rent or sell overpriced. Companies are desperate for profits too and do not care about employees or customers, just profiting. It happens because Congress refuses to do anything to stop it. They are ones who profit most, and the Supreme Court.
@@imamyousomtimes Back then, a person could simply get a job, any job, and they were plenty, and get a place to live, it was affordable. No one asked for a credit report, no one needed a degree, no one had a cell phone bill, no one had insurance, no one wanted a credit card, savings account paid interest, no one had a cable bill, on and on... Things were made to last and they were easy to fix if there was a problem, people talked to each other and helped each other. It wasn't perfect and some were very poor, but most people could easily get an apartment or house to rent or buy a house. Lots of people bought a piece of property and built their own house, my dad did and so did others we knew. USA economy is important to understand, I think the situation now makes people easier to control because they are full of fear and anger, only instead of demanding changes, they attack each other... I think it is also manipulation... 🤔🤨
@@imamyousomtimes going into the forest to live is how our ancestors lived for thousands of years, if not more... There are no bills, and our creator made a paradise with food, clean water and stuff to make shelter. They had everything they needed. They worked together and survived!!! We all got bamboozled 🤣
I think you worded that wrong... It's not one of the richest cities in the US... It is a city in the USA with the richest celebrities and politicians and the poorest working class citizens !!!
This is becoming a problem everywhere. Drugs are ridiculous and the cost of living is just making it worse when most can't earn enough to eat much less pay rent!!
Those poor people are poor for a reason. How many of them literally MADE the wealthy celebrities what they are? The poor people throw their money at these “elite” so they get what they pay for. I have a friend who is always talking about “movies.” I keep telling them I am not interested in movies/celebrities/dancing with the stars/ etc.They don’t get a penny or a look from me.
well yes, but that only caused it because politicians and locals don't want to build more housing for all the people coming to the area, so prices have to go up.
The cost of living isn't the problem. Most of the drug addiction came from out of town with no want to get a job or apartment. The problem is you treat addicts like children instead of criminals getting high in the streets. Addicts were drawn to your lack of laws
Precisely. Somebody willing to speak the truth! Of course the drug addicts and bums love that kind of environment. Because nothing is expected of them. And they can drift off into their apathetic world of drug abuse, and not have to shoulder any of the responsibilities that productive citizens do.
Ha, exactly, these aren’t people that are trying to live in downtown SF apartments. Anyone with a few bucks can take a bus to another town that isn’t so expensive.
It’s been that way since the ‘60s-‘70s. Where did all the runaways go to? San Francisco with nothing in their pockets. We are watching it grow because why not? The state gives you clean places and needles to do drugs in the open air plus you don’t have to work or get food when the churches and shelters feed you.
Do you not realize that the state with the biggest gdp is targeted by the biggest monsters?? It wouldn't matter who was voted in politicians are evil as a whole you honestly think one man voted in would fix everything?? Grow up
@corneliusdinkmeyer2190 True...but tbe majority did. San Francisco is the land of debauchery. A lack of morality combined with open borders is a recipe for chaos and disorder. The democratic party is the party of destruction. It lacks moral fiber.
Palm 🌴 Trees in California stretch all the way from San Diego as far North as Redding, California, which is only 2 hours away from the Oregon/California border. I believe Palm Trees also actually exists throughout the state of Oregon & parts of Washington State as well, closer to the Coast. San Jose, California is maybe only 20-40 minutes away from San Francisco & that City is covered in Palm Trees & almost looks like an LA suburb in SoCal. Oakland is across the Bay Bridge from SF & they have Palm Trees all over the City. The only lack of Palm Tree sightings in Cali are most likely between far North of Redding (CA) & Medford, Oregon. The closer you get to the Oregon border traveling within the state of California to the far North, the less likely you will see the existence of Palm 🌴 Trees.
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath Nice! Didn't know that. Never been to Vancouver but I hope to go one day. Furthest North I've been in the West is about an hour or two outside of Seattle. Past Everett I think, if I remember correctly.
It’s not just the city’s problem! This is a FEDERAL epidemic that needs to be addressed immediately. We NEED better mental health, drug & housing support for the ones that can’t do it
You know, if you gather all the homeless people up and take them into Mexico and then tell them to cross over to the US and tell them that they are Mexican, they will get free housing, medical and food. Or you can fly them over to the Ukraine where are government is dumping over 180 billion dollars so maybe they will get m there then our own government is doing for them. Its a shame our government has gave up on their own people who supply the money.
@@lajya01I’m in Mexico and it’s infinitely better and that’s why my gringo and I fled San Francisco and Los Angeles, keep on being delusional and you will pay for it , we will make sure to block your entrance into Mexico
give me a break there are so many republican states that have AWFUL poverty including alabama Mississippi and they are all run by republicans . Dont be dumb
Which states in the US are most afflicted by poverty? What party do they predominantly vote for? You definitely don't know the answer to either of those questions.
@@jayargee492 actually Mississippi Alabama and Louisiana have awful poverty and those states mainly have conservative leaders so republicans must be responsible for the powerty in those states as well.
San Francisco mayor should be replaced with someone who can clean this mess!!!! It was such a beautiful and safe city, and now it looks ugly and disgusting 🤮
I left California 20 years ago, I was struggling to survive working two jobs. This breaks my heart. California is not the same California I grew up in. Sending prayers for all.
Sad thing of it is it has same problems when you left, its just continued making the same mistakes long before you left and since you left. Now those two jobs would be impossible to afford you a simple roof over your head.
It's getting like that in a lot of places now. California was just ahead of the curve. It's really just simple math... when real wages stagnate while rents and insurance keep going up, more people are going to get pushed out. SF is especially bad because they flat refuse to build more housing and what little is built is marketed towards the upper end of the market.
the relaxed laws/lack of enforcement by the DA's are also part of the problem, one of the main ways drug addicts get sober is in jail since they are forced to sober up and quit using, all these people steal over there to support there drug habits, San Fran & Oakland have made theft under 1000$ a ticketable offense or at worse an overnight stay where they get released the next morning no bail needed, and they allow open air drug use/purchases, hell they even give them the needles & other equipment, if these people would be held accountable for their actions like they are in the vast majority of the country many of them would sober up in jail, not wanna go back and turn their life around, not all of course but it would be a big start in the right direction to fixing the problem...
My friend visited sf a few months ago he got so scared walking on the streets that he didn’t want to go back there anymore. And he’s from a 3rd world country 😂
Cost of living is twice as high as salaries. Leads to depression which leads to toxic behavior which leads to homelessness. ❤❤❤ And we’re helping every country but our own.
I used to look at photos of slums in cities like Mexico City or Rio De Janero or New Deli India and think "That's horrible. How can people stand to live like that." and now here it is in the good ole USA.
FAst forward far enough and it's going to happen everywhere, it's the system. We need a Constitutional Convention if any hope at all of saving this failed two party system that leads to this.
This is where you guys are still not seeeing the big picture. It's not a partisan issue, your political structure does not allow for the State to be run for the benefit of the People. America is an Oligarchy, always has been and always will be. Stop fighting each other and fight the people who have got you in this mess.
Thank you Baby K.I just care about the people,not the political end result .We in Cali are being seriously effected by these political figure heads.Left or right have little or nothing to do with the people. ❤
but Trump and the GOP want to cut all spending for social services, which means these people are the first to feel that pain....Instead of blaming others, why don't you offer your basement, or some of your pay check to help these people...because you obviously don't want your tax dollars going to help.
@@SRM_NZYes maybe we can all adopt a homeless person. Maybe we could get a tax break for doing so. Hurry up and gets yours fast before the good ones are gone and your stuck with someone who is broken beyond repair.
How can this be allowed to continue without some one investigating where the money is going? This is craxy that the most expensive city in America is allowed to collapse without a word
Our government is worried about our Allies and they come first , American citizens don’t count, they just have to work hard and pay taxes, so the government could use our tax dollars to support illegal wars of foreign countries and we have to suffer here in America.
Simply search how much money the government spent on the homeless. I mean, there is a business behind this, businesses that provide shelters, food, and education to the homeless. Just like guns, politicians would never want to eliminate the homeless.
I grew up next to the Bay Area and saw first hand of what happened there. I'm proud to say I am no longer a resident of California. Want to see where the rest of America is going? Look no further to San Francisco. You people get what you vote for.
Wow you grew up here cut and ran now even worst you blame the people who are also struggling bc you think voting did this I'm glad ppl like you are gone you don't deserve the beauty of CA that will surely return Real california ppl are strong stay GONE
As someone from a developing country who lived in the US for a few years a couple of decades ago, it's actually really shocking to see. We have homeless people living on the street in my country too (I used to volunteer for them) but the number is very low and most of them are employed, they just don't want to spend on rent and prefer to send all their money home to the family. Very few of them were mentally ill or drug addicts. I never felt threatened or scared around them, they were really just regular people, they just happened to live under a bridge
Bravo democrats for a job well done, you developed a new way to funnel public funds for your endless pursuit (never ending) crisis of homelessness, which will never be solved ...I admire your work..

It is more crucial than ever to take our vote away from the two political parties have the mainstream media/news bought off.

@@bradsanders407 You’re not seeing the issue here. The reason these people are homeless is largely because of drug abuse and mental illness.

If you’re a crackhead, no amount of opportunity in the world would stop you from wasting it on your next fix. Not everyone can be a functioning drug addict, and drugs can also awaken and cause destabilizing mental illnesses. The issue here is drugs and lack of rehabilitation and mental institutions for those with these issues.

One word. Corruption.
Many of those homeless people are illegal immigrants
You have to inform yourself.
1) the USA is not giving billions upon billions of tax money to other countries, it’s giving OLD WEAPONS AND AMMUNITION worth billions, which is extremely different.
2) these cities have all the money they want to fix their problems, and San Francisco throws BILLIONS every year toward homelessness… the problem is that the politics of the city and of California suck, because the administrations there protect criminals, incentivize addiction and entire homeless people from all over the country to go there and be maintained by the state. And finally
3) America is rich and prosper because it’s the world’s biggest geopolitical and military superpower. That status GIVES untold economic advantages to America and the American people, from creating infinite debt without having to worry, to tons of markets and foreign countries buying American products and implementing pro-American economic reforms… now, if we stopped doing all of that because “it’s expensive” we wouldn’t save money at all: we would LOSE MONEY, because all of the geopolitical agreements that result in massive gains for the US economy would simply fall flat without our geopolitical power to back them up.
So if you really love America and your prosperity, I suggest you start rethinking the way you conceive economics, because if America stops being a geopolitical superpower her economy also makes bye bye.
What is wrong with us? We put up with this

I've been there in 2019 and sf downtown is better looking than mine. Alot cleaner. I didn't see any homeless people.
The core problem; DON'T ALLOW CORPORATIONS TO OWN RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES. It causes a domino effect on the economy and the public. Housing & land is a utility, like water and electricity, not for profit or business.
In a capitalistic society everything is for profit 📈 🤑.
That's happening in Arizona right now I think it's 3 or 4 large corporations bought about a third of homes for sale and drove up the prices of houses to where the average person can't afford it.
Problems* lack of affordable housing, lack of health resources (mental and physical) and lastly a lack of good paying jobs. Min wage doesn’t cover most rent. Jobs for people out of college isn’t that high either so they’re better off but it’s take awhile to actually see it benefit them. I think many places have the resources to fix these issues but keeps make “quick fixes” that create more problems.

I was there in the 1970s, lots of homeless then, but no tents. I slept in Golden Gate park a few times. Luckily I could donate plasma and make a little for a room, and lots of places gave free food. I started college in California which was free for poor people and ended up becoming a professional who could buy a house but only in the Midwest where they were cheap once. Love to all.
@@imamyousomtimes I think it is terrible that people don't have legal areas to be when they are poor. One of the great things about America, unless black or Indigenous, was the idea of going into the wilderness and building a shelter or even a village. USA has a lot of space, but rules that don't allow much freedom. People still find different ways to exist, and some do well but from the inside, USA is crumbling. A lot of people lost all their savings and shelter in 2008, but the banks didn't. We have powerful companies buying real estate and many jobs went overseas. I think it is sad and frightening. I don't have answers. I realize drugs are part of the problem, but alcohol is a drug and has been around for thousands of years. Maybe that's why some cultures ban it, because it is destructive to families and a person's soul.
@@AhJodie I think there is such a frenzy to make money from real estate that owners will charge too much for rent or sell overpriced. Companies are desperate for profits too and do not care about employees or customers, just profiting. It happens because Congress refuses to do anything to stop it. They are ones who profit most, and the Supreme Court.
@@imamyousomtimes Back then, a person could simply get a job, any job, and they were plenty, and get a place to live, it was affordable. No one asked for a credit report, no one needed a degree, no one had a cell phone bill, no one had insurance, no one wanted a credit card, savings account paid interest, no one had a cable bill, on and on... Things were made to last and they were easy to fix if there was a problem, people talked to each other and helped each other. It wasn't perfect and some were very poor, but most people could easily get an apartment or house to rent or buy a house. Lots of people bought a piece of property and built their own house, my dad did and so did others we knew. USA economy is important to understand, I think the situation now makes people easier to control because they are full of fear and anger, only instead of demanding changes, they attack each other... I think it is also manipulation... 🤔🤨
@@imamyousomtimes going into the forest to live is how our ancestors lived for thousands of years, if not more... There are no bills, and our creator made a paradise with food, clean water and stuff to make shelter. They had everything they needed. They worked together and survived!!! We all got bamboozled 🤣
@@AhJodie
So why did you say it’s great for anyone but b l ack and indigenous?
I think you worded that wrong... It's not one of the richest cities in the US... It is a city in the USA with the richest celebrities and politicians and the poorest working class citizens !!!
Welcome to London
@@roops2939Das how we function
That’s a lot more accurate. Thanks 🙏 for pointing that out.
This is becoming a problem everywhere. Drugs are ridiculous and the cost of living is just making it worse when most can't earn enough to eat much less pay rent!!
Those poor people are poor for a reason. How many of them literally MADE the wealthy celebrities what they are? The poor people throw their money at these “elite” so they get what they pay for. I have a friend who is always talking about “movies.” I keep telling them I am not interested in movies/celebrities/dancing with the stars/ etc.They don’t get a penny or a look from me.
Silicon Valley hate to say it was the main culprit why the cost of living and rent/real estate went sky rocket in Bay Area and California alone
well yes, but that only caused it because politicians and locals don't want to build more housing for all the people coming to the area, so prices have to go up.
What a shame to corrupt government. Government is for the people and by the people. Not in this case.

Free hypodermic needles for all!
Have you seen Dallas? They got crystal meth issues laced with their homeless. Don't make this bipartisan.
The cost of living isn't the problem. Most of the drug addiction came from out of town with no want to get a job or apartment.
The problem is you treat addicts like children instead of criminals getting high in the streets. Addicts were drawn to your lack of laws
Precisely. Somebody willing to speak the truth! Of course the drug addicts and bums love that kind of environment. Because nothing is expected of them. And they can drift off into their apathetic world of drug abuse, and not have to shoulder any of the responsibilities that productive citizens do.
Ha, exactly, these aren’t people that are trying to live in downtown SF apartments. Anyone with a few bucks can take a bus to another town that isn’t so expensive.
It’s been that way since the ‘60s-‘70s. Where did all the runaways go to? San Francisco with nothing in their pockets. We are watching it grow because why not? The state gives you clean places and needles to do drugs in the open air plus you don’t have to work or get food when the churches and shelters feed you.
Yes! Correct!

@corneliusdinkmeyer2190 True...but tbe majority did. San Francisco is the land of debauchery. A lack of morality combined with open borders is a recipe for chaos and disorder. The democratic party is the party of destruction. It lacks moral fiber.

If there were palm trees in SF, we'd be sure it was Haiti.
There are palm trees in SF lol.
Palm trees was literally in the video. 😂😂
Palm 🌴 Trees in California stretch all the way from San Diego as far North as Redding, California, which is only 2 hours away from the Oregon/California border. I believe Palm Trees also actually exists throughout the state of Oregon & parts of Washington State as well, closer to the Coast.
San Jose, California is maybe only 20-40 minutes away from San Francisco & that City is covered in Palm Trees & almost looks like an LA suburb in SoCal. Oakland is across the Bay Bridge from SF & they have Palm Trees all over the City. The only lack of Palm Tree sightings in Cali are most likely between far North of Redding (CA) & Medford, Oregon.
The closer you get to the Oregon border traveling within the state of California to the far North, the less likely you will see the existence of Palm 🌴 Trees.
@@joshuadiaz2330 Palm trees can grow along Pacific coast as far north as Vancouver, Canada. There are a bunch along the harbor in the city.
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath Nice! Didn't know that. Never been to Vancouver but I hope to go one day. Furthest North I've been in the West is about an hour or two outside of Seattle. Past Everett I think, if I remember correctly.
You can't fix the "homeless" problem without mass deportations.
It’s not just the city’s problem! This is a FEDERAL epidemic that needs to be addressed immediately. We NEED better mental health, drug & housing support for the ones that can’t do it
You know, if you gather all the homeless people up and take them into Mexico and then tell them to cross over to the US and tell them that they are Mexican, they will get free housing, medical and food. Or you can fly them over to the Ukraine where are government is dumping over 180 billion dollars so maybe they will get m there then our own government is doing for them. Its a shame our government has gave up on their own people who supply the money.
I don't think they will notice the difference between Oakland and Mexico. Neither do I from these images.

I left California 20 years ago, I was struggling to survive working two jobs. This breaks my heart. California is not the same California I grew up in. Sending prayers for all.
Sad thing of it is it has same problems when you left, its just continued making the same mistakes long before you left and since you left.
Now those two jobs would be impossible to afford you a simple roof over your head.
It's getting like that in a lot of places now. California was just ahead of the curve. It's really just simple math... when real wages stagnate while rents and insurance keep going up, more people are going to get pushed out. SF is especially bad because they flat refuse to build more housing and what little is built is marketed towards the upper end of the market.
Went a year ago to LA - last there in 2004;: no words to describe the revulsion and horror I experienced.
I live abroad,i am a Foreigner ,every time i watch american news looks like 1980's Robocop movie.

Keep your smart working job, and move in a rep state
@@adofonconi9753 Yeah I need to do that. $8,000 for a one way uhaul makes it difficult.
2 main problems: addiction,mental illness and the cost of living.
the relaxed laws/lack of enforcement by the DA's are also part of the problem, one of the main ways drug addicts get sober is in jail since they are forced to sober up and quit using, all these people steal over there to support there drug habits, San Fran & Oakland have made theft under 1000$ a ticketable offense or at worse an overnight stay where they get released the next morning no bail needed, and they allow open air drug use/purchases, hell they even give them the needles & other equipment, if these people would be held accountable for their actions like they are in the vast majority of the country many of them would sober up in jail, not wanna go back and turn their life around, not all of course but it would be a big start in the right direction to fixing the problem...
@@rksocal2828he meant there were 3 problems instead of 2 🙄

Cost of living is twice as high as salaries. Leads to depression which leads to toxic behavior which leads to homelessness. ❤❤❤ And we’re helping every country but our own.
The US is not helping anybody.
Or mental illness and drug addiction prevent people from getting /keeping a job therefore they can’t afford any housing

Our government is worried about our Allies and they come first , American citizens don’t count, they just have to work hard and pay taxes, so the government could use our tax dollars to support illegal wars of foreign countries and we have to suffer here in America.
Simply search how much money the government spent on the homeless. I mean, there is a business behind this, businesses that provide shelters, food, and education to the homeless. Just like guns, politicians would never want to eliminate the homeless.
I grew up next to the Bay Area and saw first hand of what happened there. I'm proud to say I am no longer a resident of California. Want to see where the rest of America is going? Look no further to San Francisco. You people get what you vote for.

As someone from a developing country who lived in the US for a few years a couple of decades ago, it's actually really shocking to see. We have homeless people living on the street in my country too (I used to volunteer for them) but the number is very low and most of them are employed, they just don't want to spend on rent and prefer to send all their money home to the family. Very few of them were mentally ill or drug addicts. I never felt threatened or scared around them, they were really just regular people, they just happened to live under a bridge
See how well Nancy Pelosi has done.
😭
Bravo democrats for a job well done, you developed a new way to funnel public funds for your endless pursuit (never ending) crisis of homelessness, which will never be solved ...I admire your work..
Florida is just as bad but Dems don't exploit that for political gain. Instead they try to address the root of the problem which is the fact that our economic system is broken. Trickle-down economics, which started under Reagan, has been a failure.
