Supreme Court homelessness: Bay Area reacts to ruling | KTVU

- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- The Supreme Court decided on Friday that cities can issue citations, fines and ultimately remove people who camp outdoors in public places - something that the city of San Francisco and California's governor had been pushing for. Homeless advocates were disappointed.
"We cannot arrest our way out of homelessness," said Jennifer Friedenbach, the executive director for the Coalition on Homelessness in San Francisco. "People need affordable housing."

The people at the Coalition on Homelessness in San Francisco, CA are making millions of dollars and they need to be audited to see where the money is going!
1000%. it’s all about the money. Sure there are some agencies that do good work but the corrupt ones just outshine everyone. Hard earned tax payer monies!!!!!
You think there's money in helping homeless people? SMDH...
@@CBlargh
There is.
@@CBlargh Billions and billions in helping them stay right where they are, on the streets.
Homelessness is a business for them. The bigger the problem, the bigger business for them, a bunch of crooks! These crooks funded the election and reflection campaigns for the Dems. The money goes back and forth between them.
The homeless advocates should take them into their homes and use their offices to house them when the business is closed.
But… would be the immediate response from every single advocate. The typical “not in my back yard”.
Or the ever popular "i would if i had room."@@missmable2470
Their job is to promote homelessness so as to ask for more funding. The larger the group is, the more the funds they can ask. Who said anything about solving homelessness?
Since you want them gone so bad, you take them in.
After all these years, supreme court said ok to arrest? Why don’t we ship homeless people to the home of 9 Supreme Court judges?
Time to clean up california sidewalks
Past time.
Don't go to LA, SF, and Oakland. Trashes, Poops, Pees on the streets everywhere
Time to clean government and get younger and smart people
Time to let them move in with you Since you don't want them on the street Where do you think they're going 🤡
I hope they raise your money mouth taxes to do it...😊
Sure the lady with purple hair knows what’s best for society right?
Lmao
Purple shows a lack of decision making skills and general poor intelligence.
I wouldn't put her in charge of cleaning my toilet.
This from The Marina Times...
Quote-
What are Friedenbach’s qualifications? She doesn’t really have any. Her vague résumé includes a lot of fundraising and, prior to COH, serving as director of the Hunger and Homeless Action Coalition of San Mateo County. Her skill set, as thin as her résumé, touts “a long history of community organizing, working on a range of poverty-related issues including welfare rights, housing, homeless prevention, health care, disability, and human and civil rights.”
COH is also opaque in their 990 filing, required by the IRS to verify that nonprofits should keep their tax-exempt status. It’s no secret the IRS rarely audits these forms, particularly for smaller organizations, but 990s should provide an overview of nonprofit revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities, as well as sum up the group’s mission, indicate who sits on its board of directors, and state the highest-paid employees’ pay. The COH mission statement tells you what the rest of the 990 will look like (and that they need to hire a copy editor). “Our vision of our city is where housing is a human right where homelessness is only ever temporary and dignified and where those are forced to remain on dignified and where those are forced to remain on…” it rambles and repeats. (And yes, those are the exact words.)
For 2021, COH lists salaries, other compensation, and employee benefits as $487,511 with 10 people receiving the title “Individual Trustee or Director,” but the only salary goes to Friedenbach (a paltry 50,340 for the listed 40-hour workweek). So, where did the other $437,171 go? Your guess is as good as mine.

Classic Jennifer Friedenbach response, homeless pimp extraordinare
She has her own style . You do what you are told to do. 🐑
@@thunderboltpenetrator8498 I’m pretty sure in San Francisco she is the trend follower
The homeless in SF actually DECLINE services to house them at a 60% rate. We go around to encampments and offer housing and services and are turned down. We are not penalizing them because they're homeless, this ruling is a step to forcing housing assistance.
They want to keep their independence. The current shelter system take away their civil rights.
if they dont want housing then they are mentally ill unless they like living like hippies or gypsies and in that case,they could have special designated camping sites. The ones who reject services should be forced into rehab mental treatment housing.They cant get into regular housing because they dont have mental capacity to care for their own place apparently.
*Proposition-47, tent-dewlling DRUG-ADDICTS is what you're seeing not "homeless people"*
You can't let derelicts ruin every public space
If you live in a tent you don't have a home. Regardless of drug use. Can't believe you fell so hard at the first hurdle.
I think calling it camping is a soft term for occupying public areas with the intent to vandalize and promote unsafe spaces for the communities and businesses.
Public areas are for everyone, including those unhoused, who ARE the PUBLIC. The problem is, communities are not providing adequate PUBLIC SPACES, water, BATHROOMS, SHOWERS, REST AREAS, for the unhoused. They are forcing them to live in tents, by not MINIMALLY providing adequate areas for the unhoused. It is a BLAME GAME, and now they can criminalize them, which will blow-up in their face too.
@@user-di6pk8ez2ythe unhoused are not the public. They are people using public services they have not paid for. The public are tax payers. The public are paying for spaces and services they cannot use because of the homeless. Pls be fr.
@@luv22119 Sorry, but you are incorrect. Every human is still a part of the general public. You don’t have to be a tax payer to be a part of society. That is even considered in how our census are taken. They count the homeless as “REAL PEOPLE” too. Imagine that.
@@luv22119 The public are votes. The people are corporations. You are a serf.
California has been spending around $8 billion dollars per year to combat homelessness. That comes out to around $42k per homeless person per year. What has happened? The problem has gotten exponentially worse. If there are no more homeless, there is NO MORE HOMELESS FUNDING! That’s what this is and has been about. Yes addiction and mental illness are factors as well, but you can address that and more spending $8 billion per year.
Don’t Be Ridiculous The Homeless are not Getting 42K you done Gone Crazy if you Believe that BS
$42k. 40k of that goes to administration.
Let these advocates take into their homes 5 homeless people each.
Ah yes, the “individuals should be responsible for fixing systemic problems” argument, never not the stupidest response to any situation.
@@coreywiley3981 maybe if you took one in you’d realize that it isn’t a “systemic” issue but an INDIVIDUAL issue.
@@coreywiley3981 No, it’s not the most “stupidest” response. And the fact you used the word “stupidest” makes you sound like a 5-year-old. The point OP was trying to make is these homeless “advocates” seem to only spew nonsense while doing absolutely nothing. What good does it do when all the “advocates” do is just whine and complain? Actions speak louder than words. Whining and complaining and making this issue everyone else’s problem isn’t going to solve it. Every single adult in this society has the responsibility to contribute and not burden the community. Having innate mental health issues is one thing. But most of these people got to where they are because of their own actions. And most of them refuse help even if offered. The city and taxpayers spend millions and millions of dollars to make these resources available to them. What more do you want? Literally wake up and grow up, and stay in your lane. You’re done.
@@FlyBoyMT It is a systemic problem. The average non-rich person does not have the resources to take in homeless people; they are more often than not economically strained themselves. On the other hand, our society our government has BEYOND the capacity to house everyone and provide a broad scope of services and benefits. This would be the ethical way to deal with the problem, a way that respects the complex diversity of people and human circumstances. You conservatives and "just get a job," "just do this, just do that" have a simplistic and unattainable idea in your mind that doesn't fit the reality of the human condition. It is an ignorant mindset, and it is a cruel mindset.
you must be one of those religious cultists...keep that in-mind when you're on the street...considering more than 75% of Americans have less than $1000 in their bank accounts. the scotus just ruled the SEC can't oversee stocks and trading....it won' be long before everyone is on the street.
1:32 It's exacerbate, not exasperate.
Poverty is not the issue. The issue is drugs and people deciding to opt out of society. But still want government benefits. Nah.
😂😂😂😂😂
Mental problems
People deciding? These are human beings, just like you. They need proper healthcare and wellness care.
@@ginalee7704 Humans need proper healthcare and wellness care. Labeling things does not change the fact that all humans have basic needs. We are ALL human beings -- none better or worse than the next.
180 thousand people didn’t voluntarily opt out of society smh this can be you in 10 years
The citizens of CA are tired of all the garbage, encampment fires, pooping and random assaults
Wow shocking stats... we could rehab closed bases, hospitals, motels, office building, there's an answer.
They have and are doing that, except, they are giving them to the migrants.
That doesn't make the already wealthy even richer so it won't be done.
You know It's funny when it rains it pours. They got money for wars but can't feed the poor - Tupac
best comment i've seen here so far. Can't feed and house the poor, the mentally ill, the disabled, and yes, even the addicted and so what if they're addicts, you don't know their stories, and are there really people that genuinely want to be homeless, really?
They are feeding them.
Even pets of the homeless are fed by pet living organizations. Food stamps are made available, but many sell them for half off to get cash for drugs. When I was homeless close to $2300 per month was spent on me. Money isn’t the issue.
California has shelters tiny home communities, missions and low income housing drug and alcohol rehabilitation
The homeless knows about all those benefits.
They dont want to participate in society.
California has shelters? Sacramento has 2 men's shelters and 3 women's shelters each shelter holds may be 30-50 people. even though homeless men are 3 to 1 ?drug and alcohol programs are run by private Insurance companies . MediCaid doesn't cover that (MediCaid is now run by private insurance at the State's expense. The Corporations make the rules). Most of the missions have been close down because of the conflict of state and religious issues. Sanfran at one time had 3 Men Shelters 2 of them held over 160 each and the 3rd was a Homeless Vet Shelter. They Closed one of those down So San Fran is down to 1 men's shelter beside the Salvation Army in the TL which only Holds about 30 men.
You obviously have no Idea what you are talking about.
What you say Might have been True in the 8Os and even up to the Mid 90s but no Longer.
Most of Homeless in CA are those over 65 receiving SSi/SSA/SSDI . And Cant Afford to live anywhere. So they give up and buy Drugs and become addicts.
Tiny Communities?? OOO How Yuppie of you???? Ya that house house Families ? the one in Sacramento houses 20 Families. THAT'S it. There s over 10k of people homeless in Sacramento . Image LA and SanFran it's even worse.
"They don't want to participate in society" That's a ignorant assumption which lacks logic and evidence.

This is going to make many homeless do more Chris!
Arrests are a deterrent.. wtf is up with these people?
SUPREME COURT ... are there any RULES allowing for AFFORDABLE HOUSING and to PREVENT CORPORATE OWNERSHIP of HOMES that leads to HIGH RENTS 🤔
These people could be off the street and in housing a rehab tomorrow if bleeding hearts didn’t keep enabling their self destruction. Housing is not the issue with people living in encampments it’s drugs and always has been. Housing first has always been a lie to get more government fund to funnel to their union crony friends with juicy government contracts.
Banning corporate homeownership is just anti-renter NIMBYism.
There are plenty of beds, but these people don't want to abide by the rules of not doing their drugs and such required to stay in them. This has been proven time and time again. Perhaps you should do your homework before commenting on what you do not know.
It’s not the Supreme Courts job to create legislation.
how is rent affected in NY's poor areas when Joe allowed in a few hundred thousand migrants, that need housing?
well the present situation isnt the solution.
Nimbys stopped housing and rehabs from being built and don't want to deal with the consequences of that
There is no solution. Homeless people have existed since the beginning of Mankind. People that contribute nothing to society, should get NOTHING. Unless theyre literally disabled or elderly (having contributed in their youth).
@@RandomRabbit007I personally don’t have a problem helping the poor, mentally challenged and even drug addicts. I just don’t think they have a right to plop a tent down any old place and start a party. I as a homeowner am not legally allowed to camp on a sidewalk, why are they?
Yeah and When they Snatch you for Just Being Alive say the Same Thing
@@dei-wan-grey3888 legally they would have to give you an opportunity to leave before issuing any fines. Nobody is just getting snatched up. This will be used by municipalities that wish to protect public spaces for the uses that we as the public have collectively agreed upon. Some municipalities may feel perfectly fine letting anyone including homeless people to camp anywhere. Others may not. The citizens of those municipalities will have the right to vote in the leaders that will respond as they wish.
Great decision! CA should adopt a bill similar to what FL did earlier this year: basically criminalizing public camping, generally, but also setting up designated spaces for public camping where drugs and alcohol are prohibited and social services are made available for job training, sanitation, etc.
The homeless shouldn't be able to choose, at their sole discretion, where to camp; rather, the city should designate approved camping areas, similar to how cities currently handle parking or other zoning issues.
As the saying goes, "Beggars can't be choosers." (anymore!). Thanks, SCOTUS 🙏❤
The advocate looks exactly like you would expect it to.
"It" 😂😂😂😂 lmao
The actual ruling says that its not up to the courts to decide if a states law on camping is legal or not. States have the right, ie its not unconstitutional, to make laws concerning homeless encampments, whether it be a ban, tickets, etc. Its up to them. The fight is with the laws, ie, you have to make or change the laws dealing with encampments.
unfortunately, you are correct and in many of these cities they will simply write the laws so that this type of behavior can continue. The people in LA have already come out and said they will not enforce this law.
The laws already exist, and have existed for thousands of years. The ruling allows us to go back to normal
Let them camp in your yards. time to show the courage of your convictions
How does that address homelessness at all?
It's so kind and gentle if you call them "unhoused". Stop making up words and move them into your offices and homes. Even the governor and mayor understand this!
Why not build more affordable housing and abandon building converted to Apt, Buildings to provide shelters for the homeless. Also use closed down military bases for affordable housing and more tighter Rent Control policy so more people on low and fixed incomes like SS,SSDI can afford the Rent.
Because then the private actors who control housing would make less money.
Rent control leads to less affordable housing.
@@mentalmachete2273 That is a lie
I like how Newsom is a Progressive, but also anti-homeless.
Just like the nimbys that caused this by stopping homes from being built
He’s not a complete fool.
Even in socialist countries like China or the former USSR if you were homeless or wanted some social benefits you had to provide some value to society. Or you're voluntold to work in the Gulags.
If homeless people want to be sheltered I'm all for it. They're also going to be responsible for maintaining the property like facility maintenance, janitorial, etc. Whatever skillset they have and transition them back to society. If they don't want to do that not our problem. You can't help people who don't want to be helped themselves.
Right, almost as if he's not a progressive at all and the people who told you that were lying to you...

All the homeless “advocates” are more upset with this ruling than the homeless people. Why?
They’re making money.
Because they see their gravy train leaving the station!

As a resident in the Bay Area, I'm happy about the Supreme courts decision. Enough is enough, its time to turn this s****hole back into a city!
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DOESN'T REALLY MATTER THEY RATHER BE OUTSIDE & NOT PAY RENT & SPEND IT ON MEDICATING THEMSELVES 💯
I'm gonna check wikipedia if that is an absolute fact. Every homeless person has just been painted with the same brush.

Hey Jennifer, why don’t YOU TAKE THEM ALL INTO YOUR COMFY HOME?!
Wow, the leadoff anchor in blue, I'm in love!
Nothing will change. Here in LA Mayor Bass had condemned this decision.
In the Bay Area, affordable homeless housing costs $800,000. The Homeless Coalition can make more money with more homelessness.

@pennythefirst2772 Stop. You have no idea what you're talking about. I know you're either making money off of these programs or you are some how associated with them. So you have to push this nonsense. I challenge anyone reading this to Google San Francisco's homeless projects and initiatives, and see how easy it is to be evaluated for free housing, food, money, and even government sponsored free drugs. Things the working class have to pay for. Not only for the homeless, but also for ourselves, and yet they still say it's not enough. We know your scam now. Gavin Newsome "lost" 24 billion dollars of our money that was supposed to go to homeless. No thanks. I've given enough. Complain to the government. You can Google all of this.
Homeless shelters? 😆
Homeless advocates are furious because this threatens their livelihood.
SF HSH is big mad too.
Those red glass frames are a fashion faux pas.
Something has to happen…. Our cities have become unlivable and unsafe.
Disgusting. How pathetic to claim virtues, and then deny them to the very people you claim to protect.
It's a win, win situation.
If they get arrested they'll have a place to stay with meals and the streets will be safer.
What the problem is?
Finally!!! A good ruling!!!
I welcome this decision. Cities need to have the authority to force people into shelters when they refuse to. Maybe this will keep some of the out-of-staters from coming here and camping in our state.

Why not pay relatives to take in their family member who is homeless
Yes you can arrest your way out of homelessness, and you will provide housing at the same time
The only people who don’t like this is the ones who are about to go to prison for their choice of being criminal. It’s time to clear up and clean out the trash. Go home to your families. Stop doing drugs.
You think they have families?
I don't.
the homeless are divided into the mental ill ones and the ones who are poor and cant get a good job or afford rent. Not all are druggies,but those who are cant always go back to families if they are addicted or not trusted. They need rehab housing provided.
Until They can camp in your house or you clean up their mess , don't say last is unfair
Charging a group of people a penalty fee that they can't afford! Then putting them in jail! What a way to go Supreme Court
Get your funky ass off the streets and into a A) job and home, B) rehab or C) 3 hots and a cot 🚓
The Supreme Court did not ban people from sleeping in public. They just said it’s constitutional for local municipalities to decide how and to what degree they want to handle this problem. You need to vote the right people into your local government that will allow the homeless to camp wherever they want. I for one think it’s stupid for people to expect that just because they pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for there home or business and an additional thousands of dollars a year in taxes that they should not have someone in a tent doing fentanyl or meth all night on their front sidewalk. We need to share the land. We are all equal. The trash and pee smell is just a bonus.

The billions already spent haven’t provided any visible results.

Why ,most people drive their cars. Stop lying you don't use the sidewalk.
Good news for Californians
Reopen asylums in a humane way with public oversight. Jail won't help most of the homeless but we need to clear our parks, sidewalks, alleys, storefronts, etc for their intended uses. If an asylum isn't a proper fit then mandatory treatment facilities for substance abuse is another jail alternative.
"camping" that long in those areas are fire hazards they should just keep moving around
I support services for people in need, but the ruling is correct, in my opinion. People in need of a place to sleep do have a choice. They can choose to crash in a place where it is permitted, or at least tolerated.

Gavin you get your dream. Taxes CAN be raised through the roof. You must build prisons by the dozens and more prison guards. How many prisons will you need for a 100,000 people?
Excellent. They will manage to find a place to live if there are consequences, just watch.
The homeless advocates seem convinced that actions towards unhoused people are solely based on "hating the homeless for being homeless". For me personally, it's not about all homeless people being lesser humans, the issue is when they are violent, drug addicted, criminal, or creating a landfill in a public area. Obviously there are unhoused people and groups that are lucid and hopeful to get out of their situation, and hopefully they are actively seeking help and resources that are out there. The advocates, however, should really just be quiet when it comes to the dangerous unhoused population out there. Anyone living on the streets that isn't registering for or seeking out assistance to change their situation should be placed into addiction or mental health facilities as an adult ward of the state, and the violent/criminal individuals tried and convicted. If advocates had any kind of common sense plan to solve the problem, then I figure it would've been implemented a long time ago, but leaving everything voluntary on the part of the unhoused with no repercussions for negative behavior that impacts their neighbors (meaning us, the folks who have homes and are still also struggling) has not, and never will, work.
This lady needs the homeless to exist/ have a job. Look at the billions of money taxpayers paid out to these profitable nonprofits with little result and no accountability.
Homeless advocates failing to hold the blithe these Homeless people create. Homeless people do not have the right to create horrible situation for tax payers.
Good.
Send homeless people to all the advocates homes !
its not about that on a personal basis. Its about using taxes to build rehab housing and subsidized housing for the homeless.
Great! Clean the streets!
Just get a house
I hope they raise your taxes to pay for enforcement..😊
Yes we need more low income units, but allowing addicts to take over our sidewalks and neighborhoods isn’t fair to the populace at whole. It’s a reversal of offender vs offended. It’s offensive to see public drug use, and not the other way around. Maybe it’s time to section off areas for tent cities like they do in Mumbai? Except patrol them and arrest the drug dealers and public users. Consequences have the ability to help reform even the most hopeless drug user.
Open more halfway houses
They shouldn't be able to sleep on the streets, especially the homeless vets they learned survival tactics in the army or whatever branch of armed forces they're from they can form little groups and live out in the wilderness
How can the homeless be labeled criminals solely because they have few possessions and no safe place to sleep at night? Homelessness is not a crime and shouldn't be made into one. The notion that the state can proclaim it so is inhumane and unjust! What a disgrace that the number one richest country in the world spends billions on foreign aid but then meets out punitive punishments to it's own poorest citizens who are suffering the crises of deprivation!
