The root cause of the problem is the Federal law (the 2018 decision in Martin v. Boise) that allows homeless to camp anywhere on the street. Many cities including LA under different Federal Judges allow cites to move homeless camps once those cities have 60% homeless shelter capacity. However, the Federal Judge in charge of San Francisco required the city to have 100% homeless shelter capacity before any action is allowed. Did you watch the entire video? The reporter said the Federal Judge who put the SF homeless camp sweep on hold lives in Albany where homeless camp is illegal?

@@markbajek2541I'm 43. They have always just been called homeless. Unhoused makes it sound like some opposing force came in and pushed them out onto the streets.
@@herzfeldji I'm a bit older than you and back in the 60's it was still shameful to be a dead beat, now you're seen as a chump if you aren't milking the system somehow.
@@herzfeldjiFully agreed, and the term “unhoused” also gets linked to the advocacy groups’ ridiculous argument that these bums should be offered free housing, and not shelter. By that token, I can be from anywhere, and as long as I squat in SF long enough, I can request free housing!!
Yeah have fun in jail. They have no problem arresting and jailing people who actually contribute to society. Look at all the people I'm RVs that aren't paid registration in decades and are illegally parked yet once we park for over 30 min in a 2 hour spot we get a ticket or towed.
It's the residents fault for voting for the politicians the policies that govern the city. SF is the bluest city in the state right, so why are their a bunch of homeless, drug addicts, and crime? Must be the people you vote in and bill you pass. lol.
What if the city just donates the sidewalks to the businesses and the business can put signs on no loitering, no trespassing, no encampments on now business owned sidewalks? The business can advertise on the side walks, put up fences with gates and entry, doors, or whatever. It can eliminate these tents to pile up at their front door. A business pays a lot of taxes and should be respected. this helps get rid of the people living on the streets and make them go into affordable housing? Those people say they have rights yet they do not pay taxes, work, clean nothing but always destroying property, devalue Realestate to nothing and devour cities into ghost towns. Yet the business pays taxes and contributes to the tax base not the homeless getting free everything on the streets. Of businesses close down then they might loose a lot of free services. The business taxes is the biggest contributor in Federal and State level taxes. The business owners should have way more rights in this country!
That's actually a half-way good idea. Not the gate part. But making the attached sidewalk part of a business's property causes the bums obstructing them to no longer be camped on "public" land and hence trespassers. But like I said before, California has no respect for small business people. It will never happen.
The law is broken, became broken the moment the government started stealing land from Native Americans while giving them booze to silence the 10,000,000 Native Americans in the 300 concentration camps affectionately known as Reservations
Some of these people are choosing to live on the street, and these same people are scammers, live on the street, suing merchants and governments if their possessions are “loss”
... and the city will go after each and every one of them. After all, they've demonstrably have assets and some financial means. Just go and try it. The homeless guy? Can't squeeze blood out of a potato.
The sad moment is conservatives complaining about San Francisco. When was San Francisco ever clean? Dirty Harry or Michael Stone 'Streets of San Francisco' couldn't even clean up San Francisco .
I don’t travel to SF no more because of drugs , crime and overall cost to do things in SF is too pricy for the headache. Sad I lived in Daly City and missed the location for sure. Miss it but I can do without
Yes arrest them all by the thousands 🐘🐘💊💊 hahaha hahaha hahaha 💊 then what?? Fine them thousands of $$$? Put them on probation?? Hahaha 🤣 💊 jail them ?? See the headline thousands of homeless arrested yesterday no room in the jails so they put them in encampments not enough guards or doctors no food oh no what are we going to do?? Hahaha 🤣 hahaha 💊💊💊☮️❤️
Go after the drug dealers and the ones who can't stop them voting for one or the other is useless you want all this to stop?? Vote for martial and military laws national guard all over build prisons after prison or in your vision if I'm correct shoot them all welcome to Iran
The store owners all need to pay all the homeless people to move their encampment over to the property of city officials-either in front of government buildings or officials’ residences.
That’s the best idea yet…put up homeless tents in front of the politicians homes…how many of the politicians actually walk through the homeless camps, none because they fear the homeless people…
"And by the way, the federal judge who ordered that sweeps in SF be put on hold does NOT live in the city. Donna Ryu lives in the East Bay city of Albany WHERE HOMELESS CAMPS ARE ILLEGAL". !!!!!!!!!! So, she made sure to pick a place where homeless camps are illegal, but we have to deal with that....
These encampments are a 'Health and Safety" issue because often times they have rampant drug use, human waste discharge and enormous amounts of trash within them. Those that want to be the "champion" for these encampments and proclaim this a civil rights issue, when it is not, would call the police if these encampments were on the sidewalk in front of their houses, to get them out.
This all is BS. The judge should have to live near this. But if you are offered housing or shelter and you turn it down then the city should remove all their stuff that is on public property. Can't believe that man got 9000$ and still is on the street BS. provide more mental health service
So why is it that an east bay city can enact laws to make encampments illegal while SF practically paid this guy ($9,000) to continue to live on the streets.
Because the legal system is a bunch if pomp and circumstances you are kept deliberately ignorant of(until its your turn to be pushed into the meat grinder). If rabble like you knew how the law actually functioned. You would burn down every courthouse.
@@daggers101 It literally did. In service to Purdue Pharma. They launched a literal opium war on your nations and killed millions of dullards just like you.
If the storeowners want change, stop requesting the city to do something and put down the useless signs. What would work is taking the city to court for creating a public nuisance. I would be in court every week until they did something. That homeless guy knows how the system works.
The bureaucracy need homelessness for the profits it generates…Alameda County Community Food Bank receives $124,461,736 in total support and revenue, there is no incentive to do anything
That's hilarious that a homeless person was able to sue the city and get restitution. Meanwhile hundreds have damaged their cars from the potholes that the city never fix never get compensated😂
Maybe1.... might have started with Occupy Wall Street (2011). A few homeless encampments kept stubbornly returning (even after OccupyWS) and the homeless issues, snowballed. Big-city governments were once, more responsible toward citizens, but this also changed drastically in the last 10-15 years.
Look at what these "unhoused" are doing to our environment. Garbage, drugs and waste going into our water supply. We continue to support bad behavior and are shocked when tax paying citizens are sick of it.
Public sidewalks are for that exact group of people; the public! They are meant for the use of ALL pedestrian traffic. It should be illegal for a homeless person to pitch tent on a sidewalk, and claim that spot of real estate as their own! Their tents/property/junk should be subject to IMMEDIATE removal, without dumb drawn-out processes that take weeks or months.
Fine remove the tents and the junk now tell me what's you gonna do if they simply and legally WALK back and forth on this public sidewalks?? You gonna make that ILLIGAL to do also?
How shameful California!! San Francisco is no longer a beautiful and safe tourist city. I miss strolling City of SF, shopping on pier 39, dinning seafood at pier, boating SF bridge, visiting museums. California bills given generous legal flexibility to steal, to rob, to kill, to bully, to drug, more and more crimes and homeless related crime crisis are happening everywhere in CA. They endanger good citizens safety and worsening their deserved peaceful life . What a pity! !
Working class people also deserve a peaceful life NIMBY. Bring back rent control, public housing, wages that keep up with cost of living then suddenly the problem goes away, but you don’t want that… you want worker exploitation without the consequences.
I think it’s done on purpose to destroy the entire Realestate values in San Francisco then our government goes in and buys everything up for Pennie’s on the dollar. Watch crime stop, police get hired and the homeless vanish. I think it’s a big SCAM. Why let all this corruption, crime, drugs, filth go rampant?
I haven’t been back since I moved 2017. As a Sausalito resident, and long time school teacher, it is very sad as you say. I don’t feel safe visiting anymore and I do miss it 💔😢
San Francisco will likely never return to what it once was. The entire west coast of the United States, from Seattle to San Diego, is clueless as far as how to solve the "residentially challenged" problem.
@@greyhoundude6112 At this point I just want solutions. Left. Right. Center. I want reason and logic, not dumb, catchy slogans. "De-fund The Police" was the worst. The problem with the so-called "Left" has ALWAYS been that they latch onto some absurd, experimental, airy-fairy "solution" until the effects of their "noble experiment" become unbearable (at the tax-payers' expense of course). The notion that anyone will ever be able to build new, free housing for every person wanting to live in California (or anywhere else for that matter) without totally devastating the environment and bankrupting the state in a crooked capitalist society is utterly absurd. And the vast number of those living in tents on our sidewalks obviously don't want housing, even if it's free. Unless the politicians are total morons they all know this. But their giant egos will not allow them to just say, "You know what?...I admit I was wrong. We should try something else."
stop characterizing it as a homeless encampment, there are avenues and help for homeless. THESE are street criminals living on Your sidewalk. NO ONE In their right mind would rent to these criminals. NO bills, means, more for drugs. This will not end well. When people are scared they do dangerous things.
Yep and it’s so fun to watch. I still laugh at that commercial they made about visiting California with all the famous people in it. They made it look like a paradise 😂😂
California is a pretty big state. This stuff happens in giant cities where it's warmer year-round. The rural areas of California are nothing like this.
@@SicTr4nsit it’s a big state yes, and it’s entirely ran by people who have ran the big cities into the ground. Their ideologies will continue to SPREAD like cancer to the rest of the cities trust me.

As long as the people that are supposed to help with this situation are being paid hundreds of thousands a year, they’ll never have an incentive to fix it
I know. I say give ALL that money to motel owners who house these people. Motel owners can enforce whatever rules they want like any other apartment complex. Lets make the motel owners filthy rich so there is an incentive. They will be the heroes of ca.
I feel bad for the people who are living in the encampments, but I think enough is enough. Especially for someone who has turned down assistance. I understand and agree more affordable housing is needed, but I also think no matter how affordable it would get, that Toro just wants free housing and would rather live on the streets than have to follow any given rules.
If they are offered place to stay, and they prefer to stay in street. Then they have to been removed. Period. They are basically a grown up sprat who needs to be enforced.
the guy in $100 ray-bans with a nice hair cut that already sued the city and was awarded $ for throwing away his stuff says he wants affordable housing........... This short video explains a lot of what is wrong with our society right now!
City gave him $9,000?!? No wonder he's not moving....keep suing the city and make $ that way. This homeless guy has more brains than any of the politicians
These merchants shouldn't be protesting. They should be proud. They should celebrate. They're receiving exactly that for which they've mindlessly been voting. They need to own it. Love it.
Wait FULLY GROWN ADULTS are expecting SOMEONE ELSE to provide them with a place to live??!! On top of that when help is offered IT'S BEING REFUSED! A person should have ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to do that! You don't have the right to camp in front of someone's business, to hinder someone from making a living. To relieve yourself on the sidewalk, to make a bed on the sidewalk where people have to walk and get to work! ALL OF THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL and THEY SHOULD BE ARRESTED! You do that and there's a place they can put you it's called JAIL!
This is a national problem, and we need federal help and laws to get these folks off our streets.

Meanwhile most republican controlled states have the highest number of violent crime rates. They must love murder and will murder over and over and over.
Need a law that bans sleeping on the street. Kind of like parking tickets. Need to find out how these people are getting the money to buy drugs. If they are on disability, cut of the money flow. Then these people can not stay high on the governments dime.
The merchants should install automated sprinklers on the roof to wash the street smell daily and loud speakers with music to make it hard to sleep in front of their shops.
Hire 10,000 Native Americans in the 300 concentration camps, housing 10,000,000 Native Americans, watching these folks give jobs that nobody wants to do to other folks…and yet it still stinks very badly in the San Francisco financial district…puking stench…
🤣. Problem is not the drugs and housing affordability....... It's the ADVOCATES for these homeless. Everytime they open their squawk box, everything stops, nothing gets accomplished.
And someone pays them to be advocates, ending those tax deductions and tax havens would go far in helping the homeless and help the community restore its pride and work ethic
It's a tough pill to swallow but the residents and business owners that want immediate change will have to vote with their feet. The city leaders don't seem to be in a rush to fix this and the homeless aren't going anywhere.
Alameda County Community Food Bank has a 8,000 clients and a audited total support and revenue of $124,461,736…poverty pays the bureaucracy and some just can’t justify earning an extreme salary for failure and the economic collapse of the Bay Area

Too late. It would have to be a 180 turn, and SF can't do it.
Breed and the Board of Sups need to go. Lack of accountability and public safety. We are tired!
The root cause of the problem is the Federal law (the 2018 decision in Martin v. Boise) that allows homeless to camp anywhere on the street. Many cities including LA under different Federal Judges allow cites to move homeless camps once those cities have 60% homeless shelter capacity. However, the Federal Judge in charge of San Francisco required the city to have 100% homeless shelter capacity before any action is allowed. Did you watch the entire video? The reporter said the Federal Judge who put the SF homeless camp sweep on hold lives in Albany where homeless camp is illegal?
@@robtangent4664 The judge's name is Judge Magistrate Donna Ryu of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. She needs to be removed from office as soon as humanly possible.
The people that came up with the term "unhoused" are the same people pocketing millions to continue this blight on your state.
we could shorten it to "Bums"
@@markbajek2541I'm 43. They have always just been called homeless. Unhoused makes it sound like some opposing force came in and pushed them out onto the streets.

@@herzfeldji I'm a bit older than you and back in the 60's it was still shameful to be a dead beat, now you're seen as a chump if you aren't milking the system somehow.
@@herzfeldjiFully agreed, and the term “unhoused” also gets linked to the advocacy groups’ ridiculous argument that these bums should be offered free housing, and not shelter.
By that token, I can be from anywhere, and as long as I squat in SF long enough, I can request free housing!!
Anyone left in San Francisco that still have a conscience , stop paying taxes. Stand up for your right to live in a decent city
Stop electing the people responsible for this.
Yeah have fun in jail. They have no problem arresting and jailing people who actually contribute to society. Look at all the people I'm RVs that aren't paid registration in decades and are illegally parked yet once we park for over 30 min in a 2 hour spot we get a ticket or towed.

It's the residents fault for voting for the politicians the policies that govern the city. SF is the bluest city in the state right, so why are their a bunch of homeless, drug addicts, and crime? Must be the people you vote in and bill you pass. lol.
They voted for it. They're receiving the fruits of their labor, well deserved I might add.
What if the city just donates the sidewalks to the businesses and the business can put signs on no loitering, no trespassing, no encampments on now business owned sidewalks? The business can advertise on the side walks, put up fences with gates and entry, doors, or whatever. It can eliminate these tents to pile up at their front door. A business pays a lot of taxes and should be respected. this helps get rid of the people living on the streets and make them go into affordable housing? Those people say they have rights yet they do not pay taxes, work, clean nothing but always destroying property, devalue Realestate to nothing and devour cities into ghost towns. Yet the business pays taxes and contributes to the tax base not the homeless getting free everything on the streets. Of businesses close down then they might loose a lot of free services. The business taxes is the biggest contributor in Federal and State level taxes. The business owners should have way more rights in this country!
That's actually a half-way good idea. Not the gate part. But making the attached sidewalk part of a business's property causes the bums obstructing them to no longer be camped on "public" land and hence trespassers. But like I said before, California has no respect for small business people. It will never happen.
He received $9,000.00 from the city because they threw his stuff away. Wow. That’s so wrong. He should pay a fine for living on public property.
But that is $9000 that will straightaway go into the coffers of booze and drug dealers in SF. Party on, Garth!
He's on public property so they're within their rights. Like it or not, that's how it is on the books.
The law is broken, became broken the moment the government started stealing land from Native Americans while giving them booze to silence the 10,000,000 Native Americans in the 300 concentration camps affectionately known as Reservations
This is madness! Almost vomited when supervisor said: “I share their frustration “. Yeah, right..

While cashing that big pay check because of the poverty and homelessness
HOMELESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not unhoused! no one owes them a house!
AHHhHhhh
No. The correct term is vagrant. Or bum. Stop using the PC language so-called advocates created.
Some of these people are choosing to live on the street, and these same people are scammers, live on the street, suing merchants and governments if their possessions are “loss”
Come on, you can say it... Just try real hard... HOMELESS DRUGGIES. no need to try and sugarcoat it
Do what the Castro merchant association stated, don’t pay taxes as a collective group.
... and the city will go after each and every one of them. After all, they've demonstrably have assets and some financial means. Just go and try it.
The homeless guy? Can't squeeze blood out of a potato.
Best sell the business while the getting is good, there is no making of profits anymore…
Its a sad moment when you realize the homeless have more rights than the tax payers.
A sad moment when you dont realize these voters are ok with it.
The sad moment is conservatives complaining about San Francisco. When was San Francisco ever clean? Dirty Harry or Michael Stone 'Streets of San Francisco' couldn't even clean up San Francisco .

Homeless people are trespassing and should be arrested for doing so.

The store owners all need to pay all the homeless people to move their encampment over to the property of city officials-either in front of government buildings or officials’ residences.
That’s the best idea yet…put up homeless tents in front of the politicians homes…how many of the politicians actually walk through the homeless camps, none because they fear the homeless people…
No, they should pay a few large individuals with baseball bats to take care of the situation.
"And by the way, the federal judge who ordered that sweeps in SF be put on hold does NOT live in the city. Donna Ryu lives in the East Bay city of Albany WHERE HOMELESS CAMPS ARE ILLEGAL". !!!!!!!!!! So, she made sure to pick a place where homeless camps are illegal, but we have to deal with that....

@@DingDangg ...pretty much
Are you sure the voting is legitimate?
These complainers would re-elect the same politicians back into power….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@DingDangg Don't think these people for them though
These encampments are a 'Health and Safety" issue because often times they have rampant drug use, human waste discharge and enormous amounts of trash within them. Those that want to be the "champion" for these encampments and proclaim this a civil rights issue, when it is not, would call the police if these encampments were on the sidewalk in front of their houses, to get them out.
This all is BS. The judge should have to live near this. But if you are offered housing or shelter and you turn it down then the city should remove all their stuff that is on public property. Can't believe that man got 9000$ and still is on the street BS. provide more mental health service
Land grab is illegal.
So why is it that an east bay city can enact laws to make encampments illegal while SF practically paid this guy ($9,000) to continue to live on the streets.
Because the legal system is a bunch if pomp and circumstances you are kept deliberately ignorant of(until its your turn to be pushed into the meat grinder).
If rabble like you knew how the law actually functioned. You would burn down every courthouse.
@@daggers101 It literally did. In service to Purdue Pharma. They launched a literal opium war on your nations and killed millions of dullards just like you.
If the storeowners want change, stop requesting the city to do something and put down the useless signs. What would work is taking the city to court for creating a public nuisance. I would be in court every week until they did something. That homeless guy knows how the system works.
The bureaucracy need homelessness for the profits it generates…Alameda County Community Food Bank receives $124,461,736 in total support and revenue, there is no incentive to do anything
They’re not “unhoused”. They’re homeless.
The city officials are completely inept.
That's hilarious that a homeless person was able to sue the city and get restitution. Meanwhile hundreds have damaged their cars from the potholes that the city never fix never get compensated😂
Only a fool drives right over a pothole....' Gee, there's a big pothole, I better aim my front tires right into the heart of it, after I speed up!! '.
How was it ever legal to camp in a city on a sidewalk?
Camp or to go to bathroom on street .
Maybe1.... might have started with Occupy Wall Street (2011). A few homeless encampments kept stubbornly returning (even after OccupyWS) and the homeless issues, snowballed. Big-city governments were once, more responsible toward citizens, but this also changed drastically in the last 10-15 years.
The federal judge needs to be fired!!
Look at what these "unhoused" are doing to our environment. Garbage, drugs and waste going into our water supply. We continue to support bad behavior and are shocked when tax paying citizens are sick of it.
Find out where the Judge lives and Camp outside.
Public sidewalks are for that exact group of people; the public! They are meant for the use of ALL pedestrian traffic.
It should be illegal for a homeless person to pitch tent on a sidewalk, and claim that spot of real estate as their own!
Their tents/property/junk should be subject to IMMEDIATE removal, without dumb drawn-out processes that take weeks or months.
Exactly, but all the activist judge won't be able to understand such simple logic.
Fine remove the tents and the junk now tell me what's you gonna do if they simply and legally WALK back and forth on this public sidewalks?? You gonna make that ILLIGAL to do also?

How shameful California!! San Francisco is no longer a beautiful and safe tourist city. I miss strolling City of SF, shopping on pier 39, dinning seafood at pier, boating SF bridge, visiting museums.
California bills given generous legal flexibility to steal, to rob, to kill, to bully, to drug, more
and more crimes and homeless related crime crisis are happening everywhere in CA. They endanger good citizens safety and worsening their deserved peaceful life . What a pity! !
Working class people also deserve a peaceful life NIMBY. Bring back rent control, public housing, wages that keep up with cost of living then suddenly the problem goes away, but you don’t want that… you want worker exploitation without the consequences.
There are no shops they are all gone
I think it’s done on purpose to destroy the entire Realestate values in San Francisco then our government goes in and buys everything up for Pennie’s on the dollar. Watch crime stop, police get hired and the homeless vanish. I think it’s a big SCAM. Why let all this corruption, crime, drugs, filth go rampant?
It's a state full of homelessness trash, Tupac thugs, and democratic hopelessness.
Face it California is becoming a world's largest landfill site!
I haven’t been back since I moved 2017. As a Sausalito resident, and long time school teacher, it is very sad as you say. I don’t feel safe visiting anymore and I do miss it 💔😢

The notion that anyone will ever be able to build new, free housing for every person wanting to live in California (or anywhere else for that matter) without totally devastating the environment and bankrupting the state in a crooked capitalist society is utterly absurd. And the vast number of those living in tents on our sidewalks obviously don't want housing, even if it's free. Unless the politicians are total morons they all know this. But their giant egos will not allow them to just say, "You know what?...I admit I was wrong. We should try something else."

Tax payers are getting scammed right and left especially with those homeless advocates.
That is how being landlord works yes.
How about moving them in front of the supervisors homes and Pacific Heights?
I feel bad for the people who are living in the encampments, but I think enough is enough. Especially for someone who has turned down assistance. I understand and agree more affordable housing is needed, but I also think no matter how affordable it would get, that Toro just wants free housing and would rather live on the streets than have to follow any given rules.
And you could be right on his individual case but that doesn't mean that's correct about everybody
If they are offered place to stay, and they prefer to stay in street. Then they have to been removed. Period. They are basically a grown up sprat who needs to be enforced.
We are hurting them more by allowing them to fall into drug use and a diseased state in front of everyone trying to run a safe business.
Protest or not. It will be like this forever.
REAP what YOU SOW, San Fran. Reap it!!!
the guy in $100 ray-bans with a nice hair cut that already sued the city and was awarded $ for throwing away his stuff says he wants affordable housing........... This short video explains a lot of what is wrong with our society right now!
City gave him $9,000?!? No wonder he's not moving....keep suing the city and make $ that way. This homeless guy has more brains than any of the politicians
These merchants shouldn't be protesting. They should be proud. They should celebrate. They're receiving exactly that for which they've mindlessly been voting. They need to own it. Love it.
Recall Mayor Breed and the entire city council!
They'll do anything to fix it... except change the way they vote.
Wait FULLY GROWN ADULTS are expecting SOMEONE ELSE to provide them with a place to live??!! On top of that when help is offered IT'S BEING REFUSED! A person should have ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to do that! You don't have the right to camp in front of someone's business, to hinder someone from making a living.
To relieve yourself on the sidewalk, to make a bed on the sidewalk where people have to walk and get to work!
ALL OF THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL and THEY SHOULD BE ARRESTED! You do that and there's a place they can put you it's called JAIL!
That bum got $9000 for leaving trash all over the sidewalk? He committed a crime and he got a payout? He rejected public housing that’s his choice
Reminds me of homeowners who can’t legally get rid of squatters that don’t pay rent
Keep voting Newsom in and this is what you will keep getting!!!!!
Why isn't Mayor London Breed do anything about the problems in the city?
This is a national problem, and we need federal help and laws to get these folks off our streets. Unfortunately, the Donnie party will not have this national problem to lie, blame, deflect accuse and generate hatred if that happens. So, they will do nothing like they always do, besides crying, lying and blaming the Dems, of course.

@@tuanivando9634 and Newsom is the one that enabled it. He is a failure as a governor. He put out the law to deter people from gathering during COVID yet he broke it so he can enjoy a meal at a nice restaurant.

😀 "Downtown San Francisco has become so dangerous, that many residents are now searching for a new place to defecate." -- Greg Gutfeld
It's a tough pill to swallow but the residents and business owners that want immediate change will have to vote with their feet. The city leaders don't seem to be in a rush to fix this and the homeless aren't going anywhere.
no, they need to stay exactly where they are. They voted for their misery. Enjoy it.
Alameda County Community Food Bank has a 8,000 clients and a audited total support and revenue of $124,461,736…poverty pays the bureaucracy and some just can’t justify earning an extreme salary for failure and the economic collapse of the Bay Area
