I haven't been out to Downtown Frisco in years. Last time I was out there I was harassed by an aggressive panhandler so much that I feared for my life. After that incident I vowed never to go out there again. Downtown Frisco is a very dangerous place.
Michael Houston not all,are mexican ignorants please stop the racism and descrimination there for people been so mean end up like this homeless people because we have a god that will take care of racism people like you there for most racism people end up in misery on the street therefor it is punisment to them who ever hate your brother or sister god will take care of it
I was a homeless in San Francisco . I move out from that city to Delaware ..thanks to my God I got a job, home and trying to get forward in my life...but San Francisco is very dangerous city . Shelter s are finacing by drug dealer s.. that's why San Francisco police department is so corrupt as well burucracy. human trafficking is major problem there. Also they criminalized homeless people ..this city suck!!!
I don't blame you, I lived in san Francisco for 34 years until gentrification forced us out, I know work in the city but live in solano county, san Francisco is very expensive but I think its not worth living in.
One of the problem s its become a drug addicted and alcoholic addiction too and also in San Francisco the rent its getting ridiculous expensive so I feel that 3 things are the main issues ⁉️
The homeless would get a lot more support from the public if they didn't defecate, urinate, and throw trash where they live. As it is, the public wants to clean up the areas.
In 2011 I lived in the tenderloin, on jones st. 2700$ for a studio apt...a bedbug infested room would cost 1500$ a month, and they wonder why San Francisco has such a homeless problem...
This seriously does not make sense. Notice there's no homeless Mexicans or foreigners. They come to this country illegally with very little or no money. How do they manage to be successful and make a living but these people can't?
If these people weren’t in tents they would be in prison. Their crimes aren’t being punished which is why they are living in tents on the streets doing drugs stealing bikes and breaking into cars and garages.
If it were really about 365 days a year like Weiner said, then Lee would have made sure there was some place to go for the hundreds of homeless that were forced to move from their encampments. Actions speak louder than words.
Frisco won't have to worry about any superb-owls coming to their town. Pimps, criminals, and drug dealers will be swarming for the victims of this shitty city.
Peggy Platter Hill If you listen to some 'merikkans, you'd think there was no huge problem with drugs and alcohol in that country. There's no sense of self- responsibility, the blame is always shifted somewhere else. No wonder the country is going down the drain.
That gray galvanized fence looks depressing! The reporter keeps implying the homeless refuse to buy a house, but choose to live on the streets for free? I'm sure they mean there's no money?
from all the millions of dollars for homeless we never see any real benefit for none of the homeless people in san francisco ca from 2015 till 2020 . where is all those millions and millions of dollars tobmakebthe homeless change besides no housing no drugs treatment . not realistic jobs trainning .
Keven alvarado who the hell makes 1,600 month? The Tendeloin has been poor central for decades. The costs are for a number of reasons but add rent controls and zoning laws which prevent new cheaper development makes it worse.
Typical, “ we need to address it” They love to talk about it and ideas but nobody wants to take action, nothing gets done.. somebody is pocketing the funds..
To the Mama with the 10 year old son,go to health right 360 ,ask to see Dr J,get into Walden house. There is help ,get into Walden house. You can get clean,you can.breaks my heart.i know from experience. All these non profits getting lots of money,the folks that need that money get a bag of toiletries...most would just use money to get loaded,there is no easy answers they could open a camp ground,with ground rules,no using in the camp,like a regular camp ground or something. I have alot of ideas after my experience there.
Wiener couldn't be more callous and condescending if he tried. "That's unfortuntate, because that's a completely inaccurate description of my letter" way to make this problem all about you. You clearly are not looking for practical and economically viable solutions to your homelessness crisis and you could not answer to many of the other guests' excellent criticisms.
I hear so called experts that display a deplorable ignorance of the realities of on-the-streets mechanics of human trafficking. Lots of scholastic jargon, but opinions that fly in the face of reality. .
Stop treating people’s bad decisions and choices and laziness like it’s some sort of disease they can’t control. You have somewhere stay, your fed, and you stay there all day? Go get a job and work towards getting of the street. The only people that care about the laziness problem are n America are politicians and keyboard warriors. I’m middle class and tired of paying everyone else’s way and being told I’m not doing anything.
They need to place a requirement to work for homelessness on foodstamps. The people who have disabilities mental, or physical, ir elderly need to be given disability benefits. The rest should pushed to take training and encouraged to find jobs with possible tax breaks for company's who currently employed a homeless just like they do for hiring disabled or someone who has received foodstamps. If they don't have any jobs for them to find or anything they can do, or if they are not properly funding thier disibility programs due to the 3 million a year they spend on useless homelessness precautions. They need to transition not be made content. You are not kings, you are public servants. Make room for them, or be replaced. San Fran Sisco leaders have some soul searching to do.
this is your society being run by self serving scum. This is a society without morals......the 1st thing to destroy every great country in history is??????? = when a country loses it's moral compass = USA today......what 'breed' is destroying USA morals today? Who runs holy weird? Who runs the media? Who lobbies the Fed gov like no other? I will give you a hint = AIPAC.
It is a political issue. Corrupt politicians getting richer instead pf finding solutions and spending millions on illegal aliens instead of taking care of American citizens.
What was not said is that shelter staff can be abusive & negative. I know. Bullying also occurs fights, theft & people who love to wake up before the mandatory wake up who make noise. This has been my experience. Shelters suck.
To solve this is easy. 1. Deregulate so business can make more money. 2. Lower taxes so people can keep more of what they make. People spend their money more efficiently than government does. 3. Remove minimum wage. This will allow homeless people to get a job and make money without panhandling for it.
God bless our homeless!!!! Today's politics don t competently address homeless issues. We need a Kennedy in office. Go on line and support Caroline and John.
Wrong Kennedy was not a liberal. He was a real Democrat, and not part of the party that became corrupted with Communist/Marxist infiltration. Kennedy was the last best President we ever had. He tried to get rid of the Federal Reserve System. He warned us of the New World Order System. Kennedy did all kinds of good things along with his brother. Kennedy suffered from serious neurologic and back pain. He came from a wealthy family, but was raised right and was grounded. He was down to earth, honest, and a American patriot for the people (not the bankers), -that's why he was assainated; So they could have their wars, debt and destruction of our human and civil rights.
Kennedy's father made his fortune off bootlegging they have a great fortune and vast compound if they really cared they could do something don't give me that s*** that Kennedy's are good people
a week in shelter is supposed to be used to get your shit together, get a job, move to a place you can GET a job., quit giving them free stuff,they will go.
Damb! If I evee see some freak peddling kids I'll be happy to dangle his sensitive parts down my garbage disposal and happily flip the switch just to hear him scream.
This is their destiny there for if you did something in your life even been so mean in this world you get what you deserve life turn back to you believe or even been a recism and descriminating other hard working peolpe god will take justice believe it or not
After my last visit here, I see that there are racist and insulting comments directed at me. So, I will address them before reporting. First, I am a 3rd generation native of San Francisco. I have never been to Mexico. Second, this city is named after St Francis of Assisi. That is where San Francisco comes from. We pride ourselves as a compassionate and tolerant city. But, the shithole is not San Francisco. It is the property owners who have become greedy and raised rents that have driven even families out on the streets. The shithole is our politicians who exploit the poor and homeless by getting federal funds to fix the problem but spend the money on other things. But, the city itself is a jewel and is the number one tourist destination year after year. Lastly, our downtown is no more dangerous than any other of similar size. Violent crime has actually decreased. Frankly, you are misinformed and ignorant. As far as the racist comment, I will let Google decide how to handle it. Just more proof that racist people are among the most ignorant. It would never occur to you that a name doesn't define who a person is or where he's from.
The more the city spends on this particular problem, the more they have to continue spending. The quintessential but unsustainable leftist critical mass strategy - the dependent voter.
It would be great to see some real investigative journalism that would trace the $400M SF homeless budget to see where it's going.
That can be a dead end & dangerous?
What u wanna get killaryed
I just don't know !
Pelosi's paycheck!
They give every homeless person nearly 700 dollars a month. That has to add up too. It’s really helping them too. You know it all goes to drugs.
I haven't been out to Downtown Frisco in years. Last time I was out there I was harassed by an aggressive panhandler so much that I feared for my life. After that incident I vowed never to go out there again. Downtown Frisco is a very dangerous place.
marissa pierce You calling it Frisco should have you scared bitch. We are San Francisco!
Craig Gomez, Seriously? I was born in San Francisco, and believe me, Frisco is one of the more benign names that could be used for the place.
hey Gomez, you belong in Mexico., you are stinking up our country, now GIT!
Craig Gomez its not Frisco or San Francisco, its proper name is shithole. Always has been, always will be.
Michael Houston not all,are mexican ignorants please stop the racism and descrimination there for people been so mean end up like this homeless people because we have a god that will take care of racism people like you there for most racism people end up in misery on the street therefor it is punisment to them who ever hate your brother or sister god will take care of it

good for u girl..
San Francisco is a liberal dystopia shithole 💩
I don't blame you, I lived in san Francisco for 34 years until gentrification forced us out, I know work in the city but live in solano county, san Francisco is very expensive but I think its not worth living in.
Im glad you got a home and job
One of the problem s its become a drug addicted and alcoholic addiction too and also in San Francisco the rent its getting ridiculous expensive so I feel that 3 things are the main issues ⁉️
And laziness and lack of self respect.
Papa Filth Best comment. 👏👏💯💯 the elephants in the room no one wants to admit.
The homeless would get a lot more support from the public if they didn't defecate, urinate, and throw trash where they live. As it is, the public wants to clean up the areas.
tom jackson well, true, but when you need to shit,, you need to shit, what can you do
And where would you have them go to the bathroom when they have no housing, no money, and nowhere to go?
Make SF and CA republican and problem will be solved in no time !!!
In 2011 I lived in the tenderloin, on jones st. 2700$ for a studio apt...a bedbug infested room would cost 1500$ a month, and they wonder why San Francisco has such a homeless problem...
230,000,000 went to pay the government employee's wages, perks, benefits and pensions.
800,000 children go missing in America every year. Big baby bucks $$$$$$. Do you know where your children are? Real Eyes. Realize. Real Lies.
This seriously does not make sense. Notice there's no homeless Mexicans or foreigners. They come to this country illegally with very little or no money. How do they manage to be successful and make a living but these people can't?
Exactly! Thank you for expressing that, I myself have always noticed that. Hmmm🤔
If these people weren’t in tents they would be in prison. Their crimes aren’t being punished which is why they are living in tents on the streets doing drugs stealing bikes and breaking into cars and garages.
California Dreamin…...California Screamin.

I'm so glad Nancy Pelosi has everything under control in her district. I pray for her!
With most going on today. Shootings, homelessness....the lack of help for mental health isn't helping a city already doomed with no housing.

Good place for a FEMA camp
As long as there's cheap plentiful drugs and lots of free stuff your gonna get lots of homeless people.
4 years later and all it is is worse
from all the millions of dollars for homeless we never see any real benefit for none of the homeless people in san francisco ca from 2015 till 2020 . where is all those millions and millions of dollars tobmakebthe homeless change besides
no housing no drugs treatment . not realistic jobs trainning .
Full time job give someone $1,600 and the rent is $2,200 plus bills plus car,ins, cell ,food and gasoline
Keven alvarado who the hell makes 1,600 month? The Tendeloin has been poor central for decades. The costs are for a number of reasons but add rent controls and zoning laws which prevent new cheaper development makes it worse.
I want to see an interview with just the doctor because his work with the homeless could be on to something!
Typical, “ we need to address it” They love to talk about it and ideas but nobody wants to take action, nothing gets done.. somebody is pocketing the funds..

The woman shes a homeless person but yet she has a dog...i don’t get it...🤷🏻♀️

"The City" lied, and continues to lie.

Amen
It got to be a rent control, my friend was paying $800 the new owner came and race it to $2000
There's only steers and queers there and I don't see too many steers

Football players making millions, and owners making billions yet so much homelessness.
I don’t understand why people are making this a political issue. These people are suffering.
It is a political issue. Corrupt politicians getting richer instead pf finding solutions and spending millions on illegal aliens instead of taking care of American citizens.
Well, duh! Let's talk about it!
Homeless will never be fixed. You build affordable housing to the sky in California, it would block out the sun.
There is a way to fix this ... Permanently.
That is SO SAD she is separated from her son. 💔
My illegal friend and all his illegal family got an apartment for$600 outhere all on some progam.
Sounds as if some more tax raises are coming?
so much diversity.
What was not said is that shelter staff can be abusive & negative. I know. Bullying also occurs fights, theft & people who love to wake up before the mandatory wake up who make noise. This has been my experience. Shelters suck.
She's been homeless since she was 11 years old, what the heck has she been doing all those years,not having a job,a place to live?
She takes medicines for HIV !!! Does that answer your question??
To solve this is easy.
1. Deregulate so business can make more money.
2. Lower taxes so people can keep more of what they make. People spend their money more efficiently than government does.

Damb! If I evee see some freak peddling kids I'll be happy to dangle his sensitive parts down my garbage disposal and happily flip the switch just to hear him scream.
230 million divided by 5800= just under 40 thousand a year per individual- I call bullshit
It is $400 million.. Have a good day. Have a good day..
Move to Merced, Turlock or Modesto. Rent is a lot cheaper.
This is their destiny there for if you did something in your life even been so mean in this world you get what you deserve life turn back to you believe or even been a recism and descriminating other hard working peolpe god will take justice believe it or not
If you can't afford to live in one area you need to move somewhere you can, stupid people can't be helped
We left California and moved to Vegas 3 years ago and never looked back. It was the best decision we ever make
Glad I don't live their, wear is all the new tax money going?
