It is important to name the people behind any attempt to derail actions by the city to deal with the homeless crisis. The public deserves to know who runs the homeless industrial complex.

Finally something is happening after 10 years of this shyte

What are the homeless doing to face rules, be responsible and conform…it’s time to follow rules

Can’t wait to see no tents on sidewalk

[pimaxuma]

Homeless advocates created the illegal encampments problem years ago, when they started providing free tents for the homeless. Decades ago this type of encampments problem didn't exist in SF. Those homeless advocates have never been held accountable for the problem they created.

Sleeping is what I'm trying to do when I hear people are up at 3am in the morning making loud noises and abusing drugs on the streets. They need to stop. Come on now. You take them to your home if you're to worry about them

[grybnyx]

They are simply going to be forced to accept the offer of a bed in a shelter that until now they had a right to refuse. Hopefully being homeless will become so difficult that the homeless will go back to the states they came from. No body has a right to sleep on the city streets.

I lived in supportive housing for 7 years, THC was my landlord, it's a total nightmare.

Those homeless lovers can bring them into their home instead of holding the city street hostage. No one should have to take responsibility for those homeless folk’s life choices, drug and alcohol abuses but themselves .

"Choice"? Beggars/homeless can't be choosers.

[Terrakinetic]

I wish they'd air videos of crazy homeless people who can't be coherently or safely interviewed. Always showing these normal people instead of the monsters creates a very skewed image.

Sleeping isn't a crime. Camping on the sidewalk is a crime. Go to one of our numerous beautiful state parks or the National Forest if you want to live outside. Gotta move camp every 2 weeks, that's the rule.

Mayor of skid row says leave her constituents tents alone!

[tamrigood]

Have we come to a point where if I’m sick or abuse of drugs or just want to wander without responsibility I can demand free housing

[crosstofreedomhorsemanship]

Your Governor Newson is the starting point of this whole problem, know it's way out of hand. All you people who voted for Newson, you got what you voted for!!!

[shaocaholica]

Let them move into all the empty offices

[OMGThisIsAwesome]

Strange, if I cant afford to live here I move away. Why those homeless chose to stay at a place where they can't afford?

[Its-Always-Something]

Each of us need to remember, There but for the grace of God go I.

The individuals who are advocating for the homeless seem to not graps that they refuse services when offered. If they refuse services, sorry. You don't get to do this on your terms.

I’d you are homeless you can’t afford pets. These people are funny - no money and being picky
