Thank you Josh--my wife Ruth helped me shoot this one, so I'll pass on the compliment to her. Ernesto was such a find! He kept us on our toes!

I used to watch Bay Area Backroads. Great show. I brought my daughter to Mission Dolores as her school project. Those murals are awesome. Used to cruise mission blvd from Daly City to San Francisco in his 71 Buick Riviera. Great memories. Ty for posting😊

All I notice is how CLEAN the damn streets were in 1991. I’ve lived in the heart of the Mission since 1986. Gentrification didn’t push people out, and gentrification didn’t fill the streets with drug addicts and tents. For rents and cultures it’s all the strict rent controls that made most small time homeowners -landlords who lived in their 2, 3 and 4 unit buildings which they rented out, were forced to lose all control over their homes. prop I in 1994. So they all sold out to people who would then move in as TICs. Fewer rentals equal higher rents. Simple. If the city had kept exceptions for owner occupied buildings with rentals, there would still be thousands more rental units with owners living in part of the building. This is true. Rents and so- called gentrification boil down to a simple supply and demand issue. If there aren’t enough rentals, the rents will be high and only high income people can afford to live there. And if the City grants crazy rights to tenants, the small time mom and pop landlords have to flee and the corporate management companies take over. Rents skyrocket and the corruption ruins everything. That’s the first issue, second issue is the cops can’t enforce the law anymore. They are hamstrung. Back in the early 90s there were homeless, but the cops were able to clear the streets of passed out bums, and take the drug dealers downtown and book them. It’s was hard to be homeless and addicted on the streets, today we leave them alone to die and call it protecting their rights. So the streets are full of desperation, we need mental hospitals and institutions, fully funded, with the force of arrest and the law to force people in it, we need to be able to say, No you can not live in your filth on the streets. You must go into the facility. Spend the tax money on institutions, not these stupid organizations that do nothing but facilitate the problem year after year. In the city budget 2024, taxpayers will be paying $116,000 per unhoused person. Google it. That’s the City’s budget. Seven to ten times what it was in 1991. And the schools can’t function because of budget cuts. It’s just insane.
