Absolutely ridiculous. Who is going to come look thru that for their stuff. The coddling and accommodating we do is insane. Throw it all out.

[trebochet]

Thats bull crap, you're telling me that they are going to tag everything, thats a newsome media Stunt.

[deb]

Absurd. Everything about this is absurd.

Golf clubs ? Homeless with golf clubs, not likely the original owner,

So we’re storing homeless people’s junk? Sounds great.

[roselandrusso]

If you’ve had something stolen recently, they should let you look through the junk!

[rsqwerks]

So happy. Thank you SFDPW and SFPD. No more free lunches for criminals.

The people against cleaning the encampments are terrible people .. how about they spend their time and money they receive to find shelter for the homeless? Or are they just good with them just dying on the streets?

Gotta clean up before November. 🗳️ A little too late! 🗑️

What's the storage fee?
If my car gets towed I'd have to pay a fee to get it out.

I recall as a young man the smell of boiling crab on San Francisco fishersmen warf. Just last year I had a Semiconductor show to attend at the Moscone Center, a half dozen men were taking turns shitting on the same steaming pile center of the sidewalk, urine pools, vomit, used condoms and drug needles everywhere

My favorite part of the constitution and the rights it bestows is where it says unless you’re homeless then you get no rights.

[flanagamer]

Why all this sudden urge to ‘fix’ the homeless crisis in San Francisco?! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤨 Politicians let it fester for decades and just _now_ feel compelled to make changes?

[dianadunne]

Repetition… it’s so ingrained in their habits, the city needs to keep keep doing what they are doing till homeless either accept help or move on

[OmarCasta-xd]

Bull my buddy had 2 generators and his medicine box taken away they literally refused to let him get his blanket, food, meds nor his prosthetic leg they took everything and threw it in a trash truck we saw how it crushed all his belongings 😢

[moogs]

They’ve had every opportunity to move on, get a job or go to a different state. Now it’s junk and should be treated as such.

[DJTheoSF]

Either way this is progress and cleaning up the streets.

[ninichit]

How about OAKLAND, Fremont and Milpitas . City leader are sleeping ?

How do United States Citizens recover their stolen property?
