    It would be great to see some real investigative journalism that would trace the $400M SF homeless budget to see where it's going.

      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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

      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.

    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.
