A California-Style Crisis: 'People Are Just Free to Destroy Their Lives Out in the Open'
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2023
- Drugs, crime, and homelessness are taking over much of San Francisco - although billions are being spent toward a solution, the city's problems are compounding.
A recent report from the University of California San Francisco shows that California accounts for one-third of all homeless people in the U.S.
"People are just free to destroy their lives out in the open," said one local. "Crack, meth - I see it seven days a week."

"More thieves than customers". A phrase for the ages.
America is a garbage disposal place
I think they meant more socialists than customers.
😂
@@EconomicWarfare😅
@@chatrynayeah because capitalism has been working so well, right? 😂
If this is Newsom's vision for California, i'm scared to see his vision for America. Keep that man away from the white house.
👍
He will run if there's an opening, and you're right, he would be just another catastrophe.
Newsome need to get OUT of politics
If he's still in, I'd think the sores family is paying him to DESTROY the US
Democrats do better on economics than Republicans. All the major recessions and depressions are caused by GOP administrations. Newsom isn't perfect but we had the GOP in office the solution would be to just throw everyone in prison. The GOP complains but would block all policies that would end this like universal healthcare, public housing, jobs programs, etc.
Amen 🙏 to that
San Francisco: "We've tried everything except holding people accountable and nothing is working"
I was in Berkeley in 90 and ran into so many homeless on the streets begging for help. I never lasted 10 min every morning for money I couldn't afford to give. It was like Chicago 10x the transient and actually cleaner than Chicago at the time. I would not hit NORCAL today for any reason. A dook peppered street with great weather. The US is getting dystopian for the "less than" upper-class every day. EAT THE RICH. It is so heartwarming knowing that gated communities allow for our policy makers of this country. THEY SURE KNOW BETTER THAN US. At least how to bleed the people to make it to where they are. US and them.
@@kevind825 To be fair to the politicians though the people keep rejecting candidates with common sense and voting for the same morons. Even when Newsom was recalled they still voted him back in so as a politician what would you do?
I lived in Shenzhen, China for 5 years, never witnessed a single crime, a single drug related incident, never felt unsafe walking home at night. City was spotless, even the poor neighborhoods were cleaned up and kept beautiful by the residents. Moving to the Bay Area has been a culture shock for me!
China 1ra potencia mundial
Maybe stop bringing your fentynl then
Stating facts,China is the worlds biggest manufacturer of fentanyl.
Stop sending chemical for fentynl
Catch a nap and a corndog mr #1
Nordstrom, Old Navy, Home Depot, Safeway, and Office Depot have all left. That happens when you have "more thieves than customers."
And it doesn't hurt that Amazon has almost completely undermined their business models. They were already struggling financially, and then to suffer losses due to stealing is the straw that broke the camels back. They would still be there if it were still profitable.
You'd be surprised how many "non-profits" make a profit!
The non-profit part is a joke and a cover for corruption!
I'm surprised anyone would be surprised. Greed runs this country.
Have to wonder how do some charities like cancer set up lotteries offering thousands. Where did that money come from,? 🥀
Do we really believe billions are being spent to "find a solution" and they just can't find one? C'mon
Moving back home after living in Singapore for college, was a little bit of a culture shock. Almost forgot that homeless people actually exist. Maybe if dealers were executed, there would be less supply on the streets. I can't even walk to the grocery store 10 min away without stepping over people passed out right in the middle of the sidewalk.
So how was Singapore compared to California? I could imagine the culture shock indeed
@@darylp9306If California has the same policies as Singapore, Republicans would revolt, accusing it to be unconstitutional
@rakhalandika9132 🤣🤣🤣
That’s why sg govt never let criticisms from foreign countries interfere with enforcing strict laws, especially on drug trafficking.
Oh bravo to you!! Exactly what should happen but never will. Pretty sure there would be too many elites involved.
Fire all your city council and the Mayor.
The majority of he San Francisco residents are ultra liberal and the conservatives here such as myself, we don’t stand a chance. Been trying to vote these guys out for years and nothing’s worked. Maybe the majority of the liberal voters will get a back bone and stand with the conservatives and put the crooked politicians out of City Hall. Our major mall (Westfield Mall) is closing its doors at the end of July because they can’t afford to lose merchandise to the thieves. Charles Swab financial advisors are leaving and it’s just the beginning. But I’m putting my faith, trust, and hope in God to push back the darkness in my city.
We gotta fire Newsom as well.
@@karoslif9818
The liberals are satanic and destroying our state and it shows
@karoslif9818
They tried firing gruesome and they controlled the electriconic ballots and its obvious
Went to SF a month ago. The sidewalks had human waste and we saw drug use. 7 years ago it wasn’t so frightful. The city is gone taken over by druggies. I had in the past enjoyed its museums, parks, cathedrals, and cultural areas. Very sad and unsafe.
Let the city rot dont give it a dime
I have a friend in San Fran-shithoIe and it's sad what's become of such a beautifuI city.
He Iives in a "safer" part of the city, but he cannot even use his ceII phone in pubIic for fear someone wiII come zooming by on a bicycle and steaI it. It's happened to him before.
And NO, he did NOT vote for these radicaI IiberaI corrupt poIiticaI parasites.
That's terrible!
@@fromthepeanutgallery1084 Sorry but there's no such thing as a "cheap motel" in SF. Are you one of those Frisco Deniers who refused to admit that lefty progressive policies have failed horribly there?
I went to Frankfurt, Germany 30 years ago and saw human waste and drug use. But the difference is it was in a designated park, legal. SF used to be that way, in that human waste and drug use was only in parts of Tenderloin but now it's all over.
At the very least, I now grasp the concept of leverage.
Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe. Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely.
Most people simply enter the foreign exchange market without comprehending matters like this. The first stage in building money is determining your goals and risk tolerance, which you may do on your own or with the assistance of a financial counselor who works with a verified Finance agency. And also you can learn the facts about saving and investing and create a clear plan, you should be able to acquire financial security over time and enjoy the benefits of income management.
That is why I work with John Desmond Heppolette, who introduced me to a better Financial community, a verified agency where I learned how money works and how to create it, as well as free books, courses, and daily lectures. You also get to meet new people, which was the best decision I ever made.
Yeah, that guy is one asset manager that gives the breakdown of everything on how things are done, joining an effective financial community can be 100% beneficial when joined properly that's all I can say out of experience
I curiously made a research of his full names after reading what you shared, I came across his webpage on-line. My portfolio suffered a big hit, holding it further won't be any good. I've heard of people netting hundreds of thousands this red season I'm really glad to see this...
I've been making more than six figures passively investing with John Desmond Heppolette, who showed me the right community to join and grow mv finances and I don't have to do much work. It doesn't matter if the market is crashing, I will always make returns.
Freedom has it's limit! Some people are too far gone to be saved! The sooner we realize that, the sooner we can help those who want to be helped.
“Have the guts to undo it.” Yep, she’s absolutely right. Gotta change the outdated policies.
The entire needle exchange project was corrupt and a stupid idea from the get go
Which requires the liberal majority voters in those cities to try something other than continuously electing only Democrats to their city councils and state govts for DECADES as they have been.
Outdated policies? It’s the post modern progressive policies that are enabling rampant drug addiction and homelessness.
It.aint the policies. It's the politicians
@@Setsunna Bingo. As with Seattle, they keep electing only ONE political party into power -- for DECADES by this point -- and expecting different results.
All citizens of San Francisco should send an ultimatum to the mayor: Its either them or hard working tax payer citizens.
The Mayor of Miami has the best answers how. He got 6,200 off streets with huge improvement.
Don't worry the rich will buy up the devalued property then clean up the mess.
@@FredCarpenter-pm8bfFred carpenter why don't you hire one or some of the homeless at decent wages ?
@@krzykatldy8688, they are first probably not reliable to even get to job on time, shower, change clothes, etc, but secondly, they’d probably spend any money on drugs!!!
JESUS SAVES! 🙌👑🎺🐟🍞
@krzykatldy8688 That isn’t the majority of them. If you look at immigrant communities, you’ll see why.
It’s very sad to see this beautiful city changing to this miserable situation 😢😢😢
The whole parking lot had broken windows... that right there is a scary thing to imagine. Its getting too close to home and needs to be addressed before people start getting violent
All over the Country not just California 💊

Yeah get right with g-d only option left
@@matisyahup613 Appreciate your Gesture
Soo true sadly
Hearing Alioto admit they made BAD DECISIONS is priceless. She was definitely part of the orchestrators of what contributed to San Francisco's demise.
At least she’s willing to admit they were wrong. No one else is willing to do that and so no real solutions will be made. I hope she’s successful in convincing others so they can undo the damage.
They gave the homeless too much rights!
@@lorihuntley836 Only vbecause there is no denying it they Phctup
@@lorihuntley836 and she still hasn't mentioned the solution. you know what it is, she knows what it is, I know what it is. its closing the border.
No she just failed and wants to throw the blame back at Newsome. I'm sure she was one of the ones exploiting that money.
Without law and order, there is total chaos. Bad choices and failed policies by the government that is supposed to serve and protect has caused a mega nightmare!
Dios bendiga a estas personas que ayudan a los homeless
This is what happens when you choose to ignore an issue for too long🤷🏾♂️. Like it’s just going to go away. When enough people say “not my problem “, you’ll end up in the situation. There’s no reason a person should be working full-time and still be in poverty.
NO this is what it's like when you ENABLE criminals and drug addicts....they actually CREATED THIS...this is SOCIALISM...when there's NO middle class..bc they don't and wont live like THIS. Quit voting for Democrats!!!
Someone is getting their pockets full. Why they are looking the other way. No other reason.
Wake up. If goverment wanna handle manage its easy for them. They hv big plan going on😂
Poverty is a point of view.
It's like a cockroach, you see one. And you do nothing next thing you know, you have a 1000.
Politicians ...They spent ten years making the wrong decisions, but need five more to make the right ones. Yeah! Got it!
🤦♀️ just unbelievable!!
Alioto needs to give back all the money she was paid.
We need strong penalties for drug use.
Everyone does not "deserve respect", sir. Respect is EARNED.
Or you can choose to respect people as people.
Some non profits are corrupt. A lot of the money going to fight homelessness and drug addiction is going straight into some people's pockets.
YOUR RIGHT 👍 JUST LIKE BLM $$ CONNED PEOPLE AND CORPORATIONS OUT MILLIONS AND DID NOT A FREAKING THING FOR THE HOOD .
Nonprofit need homeless. They profit from them😂😢
a lot of non - p's are c o r r u p t or at least mis managed and even looted and s t o l e n from by their supposed authorities or leaders.. look at b l m for a prime example on that.
@@weshz2429yep, the last thing any of them wants is for the problem to be solved. It's a business and business is booming.
Thousands of them. That is a lot of money going to the CEO;'s and upper management. The parties and Balls and fundraisers with steak and crab and shrimp, champagne, Bourbon.
I can't believe Newsome wasn't recalled. CA, you are getting what you voted for and you deserve it.
They tried a couple of years ago. Alioto should give back all the money she was paid to run the program into the ground for 10 years.
😂😂
Sam, what's more insane is that it's a certainty that Newsome will be the Dems candidate for the 2024 presidential election, because Biden can't possibly keep going, and Harris is a total incompetent imbecile.
If only we could afford to live in worse weather so we could sweep all our poverty stricken drug addled citizens under the rug. Liberal states that have snow have right to housing laws. We need them. We don't need conservative lawmakers causing bigger problems.
Very sad I didn't vote for him. And I did want him recalled how it didn't happen. II think something was corrupt to keep him or or I don't know. Maybe people in California like living like this. What I don't and i'm planning my exit
I just can’t feel bad for the anyone destroying their life
In front of San Bernardino courthouse there is a old building full of trash,look abandoned,nothing been demolished😢sad!!!
I’m from VietNam and a fammer, I like this caption “American are destroying their live”. Children/ People live in US, you have a lot of advantages to grow up yourself: education/ facilities/ healthy care. But you don’t use it as right way. In VietNam, we have to work hard to support our live without any help from our government!!!.
Indeed, when more people live on government welfare benefits and no one works, what is the result? Bankruptcy. Policies that create jobs for citizens will be important, and that is one of the jobs of politicians.
Don't protect criminals AREST drug dealers give them serious time 😤
I live in South East Asia. The US government keeps coming here to promote democracy. We are so tired of it. Look back to your own country! HORRIBLE!
Remove all these corrupt arrogant politicians
Growing up in California all my life, it is definitely gotten worse. Never thought I’d ever move out of California, but the only thing left to do.
Then turn your new city into California 😂.

I went downtown in my city of Durham NC and saw no one living on the street. The cops just will not allow it. They tell you to keep moving.
They are living in the woods and wooded areas. I live in Raleigh NC right next door to Durham. You could not pay me enough money to live in Durham. At least the progressive, liberal democrats that have infested Raleigh and Durham don't have to look at the poverty they have created since the homeless are out of sight and out of mind.
People have rights to live on the streets. If they want, why not leave them alone
@@yyan79 No, lol. No they don't.

How compassionate... Not.
I think the government need action regarding this situation...corrupt politician must be in jail...🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Have the guts to admit mistakes & fix it!!!
As long as the bad doers aren’t scared of the law and the consequences, then this lawlessness keeps happening
Exactly 💯👍
Proud to be Singaporean 🇸🇬
An additional info for context :
We do not impose the Death Penalty on Drug Addicts.
We rehablitate them , heal them , assist their families & assimilate them into society by reeducating or retraining them to enable them to earn a living.
We only send the DRUG DEALERS & DRUG MULES who enrich themselves by destroying the lives of other people by HANGING them at the GALLOWS.
Our priority is to protect the majority of our people by weeding out the few bad seeds & barricading our safe space & homeland.
I'm the 50th thimbs up.
As if crime ceases to exist when there's stiff penalties. Poverty creates crime, not lack of punishments. Not to say it isn't a contributing factor.
@@rockgod2131 Not enough Americans have read Lao-Tzu. They have no concept that laws create criminals, no idea what it means that the US has the largest prison population in the world.
I totally agree with you! I'm in Oregon, and downtown Portland is a off limits zone for us, same as se & ne Portland. The town has become a place of lawlessness. Lots of shootings now. The theives get picked up, spend a day or so in jail, even car theives, then released b4 their court dates? Then the cycle repeats. The Decriminalization of drugs in Oregon with measure 110, has ruined this city. So now drug addicts are showing up from other states, to take advantage of free camping, free hand outs from the state, and shoplifting with basically no consequences, it's a catch & release system currently. The laws need to be changed, the G O V could fix it, but for some odd reason they're not doing anything, and they have funding? It seems to be trending this way in different towns all over USA. Maybe this is part of their plans for their N E W W O R L D O R D E R aka or der out of cha o s? Everyone will be so sick of whats going on in their cities, they'll want to conform to their new plan. Pretty soon smart cities will be popping up all over, then cashless society will start up M O T B. Everyone that submits will be scanning their skin to pay for stuff. Time to pray, repent & follow the bible, not follow man made religion in the G O V
C H U R C H ES 5 0 1 C 3'S.
It's the same thing in Canada. The bad decision-making is contagious🙄. The politicians know exactly what they're doing. This has been in the making for a while.
Jesus got me off of Hastings. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. Jesus is Lord
Give to taliban ur country thre finishes all druggies n to make strong low n oder
We're not quite as bad as California but Justin Trudeau is not helping.
Rewarding those willing to overcome is the way to go
When will the politicians start doing their job and hold the real drug dealers and cartels accountable. Enough of the nice crap doesn't work.
The greed of the officials in charge of these programs is unbelievable , a auditor for the state told me of all the theft amongst these ones in charge- no charges on them and not even a slap on the wrist.
Oh my gosh!! 🤦♀️
Christine the coward says to round them up like animals .
Big businesses in homeless most politicians are so corrupted
Angela Alioto gets it. Repeal Prop 47. Put the bums, junkies and thieves in prison. Get rid of the needle exchanges and 'safe spaces'. Cut the 'homeless' budget to zero. Sweep the encampments, let these people know that they're no longer welcome here. Time to end this mess.
Yep. Drugs are the problem.
Living here for 23 years … nothing could be worse… RIP San Francisco
RIP the US!
RIP Seattle as well
EXACTLY! IT ONLY WORKS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT WANT HELP! Most of these people LIKE their lives. YOU CANNOT HELP PEOPLE WHO DON’T WANT TO BE HELPED!
It's not just this. That is a new problem created by this attitude brought to you by the leaders voted in by the residents. Residents keep voting the same type of politicians with the same type of lens so it won't be solved at all. Who decriminalizes taking a crap in public streets? How about these free drug clinics. You still think it's a good idea. Start banning them again. If you think it's still a good idea and you're a resident then expect more of the same trash outside your streets 😂
True
But you can arrest them or force them into treatment.
The problem is that once drugs take over the body and mind, people think they don't need help. To the contrary, that's when they need it the most. No drugs, simple. I hear about medical marijuana all the time, that too kills patients.
True
Brody, put your hands down
Instead of ruining the lives these people should protest and fight
As an ex hippy, I agree, we miscalculated. I thought we'd be skipping around caring and sharing.
Most of my pals turned out to be fine with leaching off of other people, then calling them Fascists!

'MORE THIEVES THAN CUSTOMERS " what a powerful insensitive
Over the past 40 years I've heard the term "war on drugs". However, there's NEVER, EVER, been any such thing, because to have a war requires using force with weapons to achieve a means.
So, if there is to be a war on drugs then anyone caught with it gets a bullet in the forehead. It's called summary justice.
The Philippines had this under the former president and it was quite successful. The sooner the US implements this program will quicken the scenes we are seeing in California.
You get what you vote for. Newsom’s vision of America!!!
Civil Rights attorney and appointed by Gavin Newsome pretty much says it all
She makes her money off it.

This was me six-and-a-half years. I'm a child of two addicted parents and also a Bay area oakland-alameda native. Unfortunately I picked up those habits and I was an avid drug user on the streets of Oakland and West Oakland from the ages of 19 to 23. I've encountered numerous dangerous situations being homeless and a young woman on the streets. I had to get out of California to get clean from drugs. In my opinion if there is any glimmer of hope for homeless that are addicted, they need to get up and away from Cali cause right now it's a cesspool breeding ground for drugs.
They need to be rounded up and put into internment camps where no drugs are available and treatment is harsh.
No we don't want tons of thousands of drug addicts just dispersed across the country in other cities. Especially if these people aren't even willing to get clean and don't want to be sober.
Or else they’ll be outlawed as bad parents for their criminal acts.
If my car goes down again and it’s more than I have and can’t afford to rent a vehicle we’re is the best place to get shelter and job away from drug zones? I’m in the Deep South and cant walk 50 miles a day. What’s the best city, if I get down to 1k for a bus ticket. No family or any possibility for someone to help me for a ride to work so I need to figure out something. I can sleep on a cot and work 80s a week but need transportation. I entered some auto give aways but never get called but I have one left. I definitely spent more than I should over the years and could have done better. I should have eaten much cheaper and not used material things. Just your opinion what’s the best cities that want to help?
But wasn't Reddit all gung ho for drug legalization a few years ago? What happened?
So,if you legalize crime then you get criminals? How could it be. Maybe ask someone from Portland, NewYork,Seattle,Houston, LA.
This morning in San Diego California on my way to work a man dropped his pants and took a crap on the sidewalk in front of everyone and this is my 3rd time seeing this California has gone third world drugs have become rampant I believe the police are trying to battle back but it's overwhelming I can only imagine what San Francisco is like.
Downtoen?
No one should be "free" to engage in destructive, anti-social behaviours.
Well I bet you won't see this in front of Newson or Nancy place of living
Thank the liberal Mayor for allowing this to happen.
No mezclen a dios con la política. Así no se llega a ninguna parte.
What anti social behaviors are you talking about.
Those street people have 10 times as many friends you do.
They live,hangout and get high in groups.
They just don’t socialize with the working people.
The working people are anti social. They don’t have time for anybody. They have to work.
@@donpaynter1980 Sorry, you are talking utter rubbish. Getting high in groups, pulling your pants down and crapping in public, assaulting innocent bystanders etc. - these are all antisocial/criminal behaviours. Furthermore, I’m quite happy to have 10 times fewer friends if it means my circle of friends doesn’t include ‘this’ group.
Crazy how people with the least help the most 🤦🏻♂️
San Francisco is so beautiful was a DREAM to see it so lovely in 2007 when I was there. I can't believe how it's falling apart it truly SADENS me!
Where were you in 2007? I went to Berkely in 1993 and could not believe the amount of transients on the streets. I was cool to as many as I could with what I had but it was overwheled for being in my early 20's. I grew up in Chicago and am not lost on poverty and city livin. Other than the nice weather SF is a punk heaven. Meant in a good way the last bit. HA
But still a Sh............ Storm.
Not everyone is a child of God. Everyone is a creation of God but only His children obey. 😊

John 1:12 is still true today
What you wrote is the Truth but cannot be applied here! Why? As a Christian we are supposed to help bring our fellow humans to the Kingdom of God, not judge them, label them and abandon them!
Jesus loves each one of us including them! How can you help? Pray for them ( that’s if YOU pray.)
A Christian has to be loving, compassionate and merciful… otherwise whose voice is this person hearing and obeying? Recalibrate with love ❤️✝️🕊️
@@rosemayerian1740True yet Jesus Himself was quick to point out hypocrisy and more while he worked along side people, healing, feeding, telling them He is the truth. Those who follow Jesus change, because once you know Him and ask for forgiveness, you seek His Word the Bible, and it changes you from the inside out. Then you can give the love and care that He first gave to us. Nothing changes if just left alone, one has to work for change for the better.
@@rosemayerian1740 with my friends witnessed, handed out tracks and prayed in Pomona once San Bernardino twice, to the homeless. I'll never do it again it's too scary. Too dangerous.
I lived in San Francisco for many years and it used to be a beautiful, fun and safe city. Now I wont even go back their to visit family and friends. Unless the citizens take back the city and say no to crime and homelessness. Nothing will change.
The people who decided to step AWAY from drugs and clean their life around I am sooo PROUD of you! God is even more proud of you! I commend those people who made that change. Drugs including Marijuana destroys and changes people completely!!!
the problem is that the addicts, the theives, the drug dealers, the corrupted officials etc all can vote to get what they want.
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Prov.16:18
We are living in End times.
Everything that's happening around the world right now, is written in the Holy Bible.
Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. Amen.
I pray for everyone, to receive Jesus Christ into their hearts.Amen.
Jesus Christ is preparing to return.
I give a lot of credit to the Civil Rights attorney for admitting they made mistakes with her policies. There is nothing wrong with that, you tried, it didn’t work, so you go back to the drawing board. Everyone makes mistakes.
My beautiful city of San Francisco is being destroyed 😔 I remember years ago how it was so beautiful and yet the politicians have taken money over people and our states values. Sad and sickening 😢🥺
I can't believe they spend billions of dollars and there are still people sleeping on the streets somebody stealing that money
SF has the largest percentage of Gov't employees out of any city in the USA.
So much corruption here.
This is absolutely incorrect.
Show me some stats and I'll believe you, as I've seen the percentage of Gov't employees (30K+) in SF relative to the population (850K+).@@JRspeaking
Send in the national guard and clear up the streets.
Put in the addicts in a rehabilitation center and make stricter law against crime and drugs
Better send in the Marines, an amphibious landing ,they won't know what hit em!
Why not just criminalize mental illness and being poor so we can dump them into prison camps!

@@richardmorris7063 Your cultural Nazism is showing.
I agree, but they need to want to get clean in rehab
2 Billion dollars 💸 💵 💲 🤑 💰 This is ridiculous every homeless person in San Francisco could get off the streets with that enormous amount of money
Thank you city team you guys do more then any system ever will by just feeding and taking care of these people.
I’m 55 years old, 3 of the best years of my life where spent homeless on the streets.
Zero stress, no rent,no bills, no bill collectors, no job, nobody telling you what to do,
Pay no taxes,no electric bill, no car payment, nothing.
Free food,bed and shower at the homeless shelter.
If I woke up with 2 dollars in my pocket,that meant I could drink with the boys and gamble
In the ally craps game all day. No a worry in the world of what’s happening anywhere else.
It was to easy to get comfortable in because there’s so much free stuff given to the homeless.
And no, we never went out looking for a job.
So when you see these videos of people who been on the streets 10,15 20 years, they are
Perfectly happy where there at. It’s by choice.
They don’t want all the responsibilities of the working person anymore.
They got clothes on their back,somebody is always feeding them and they can always
Find someplace to sleep. Whatever money the hustle up is all theirs to get high or drunk
And do whatever they want all day long.
Don’t feel sorry for them, they wouldn’t trade places with you.
They feel sorry for you, running around like a chicken with your head cut off everyday,
Trying to keep up with the jones.
When you hand us that dollar out your car window thinking your helping us,
We buy more liquor and sit in the bushes and call you a sucker and laugh at you.
Ah yes, and you bums will either harass us or ask us for money. You guys will always have an excuse to freeload and never get your life together but blame everyone else. The typical democrats you are 🤣
Being a vagabond is a life choice for many. I have met them as well. They mock the system. We hard workers are suckers in their book. There are books written on how to be a full time vagabond. Great comment.
Nothing about that sounded great. And than had the nerve to look down on those you were begging from?
Just wow!😊
It isn't that way for the new homeless. You just liked it most don't.
Really it's all us Christian s and the churches responsibility. Jesus would turn all churches into night shelters. And the pastors would kick him out.. Matthew 25
As Milton Friedman said, people should be free enough to drug themselves into death if they choose to -- so long as they do not affect the liberty of other citizens in the process. These thug/drug-hugging city & state policies end up affecting the safety of other citizens in public spaces, so they violate that liberty-respecting axiom and should be repealed.
That's what happens when other people's money goes to their "freedoms"
@@azsunburns Exactly, that's part of the liberty-violating end of it. Ergo, immoral and wrong.
@@captaincapitalism264 agreed!
Stop reviving them.
Friedman
It’s like this in every state
Disgusting.
If I were President, I could clear this entire issue nationwide in a year. You would never see another homeless person or tent city ever again in this Country. And drug-rehabilitation would be a requirement, not a suggestion. And drug-lords and drug dealers would be considered terrorists and would be treated as such, even up to the death penalty.
Good! Please make me vice-president then.
@@Z8Q8 You're hired.
I visited SF in 2018. I was born there but never visited. I was absolutely disgusted then.. I can't imagine how bad it is now..
Is it so hard for a country like USA to control drugs or are police corrupt too
It’s really bad …
😢😮so sad to hear that.
If the former great singer Mr Tony Bennett is alive & well today and relive the song he made famous titled: "I Left My Heart in San Francisco", he could have suffered a heart attack. Seeing all these fall and depravity of men and women everyday into homelessness, addiction, drugs, alcohol, committing crime and violence is totally not the picture of the famous song.
They just announced that he passed away
Instead of
I left my heart in San Francisco
It’s
I lost my home in San Francisco
=> homeless
Total BS!! To identify the happiest cities in America, according to residents, 24/7 Tempo reviewed the happiness score of all 383 metro areas in the U.S. from digital health company Sharecare’s Community Well-Being Index. The index measures whether individuals feel a sense of purpose, have supportive relationships, are financially secure, satisfied with their community, and are in good physical health. Sharecare surveyed more than 450,000 U.S. adults, concentrating on these five areas of individual well-being, as well as analyzed more than 600 elements of social determinants of health from additional data sources. The West and Rocky Mountains regions, specifically California and Colorado, appear to be the states with the most cities where residents feel happy. The happiness of residents in the SAN FRANCISCO area - the winner for a second year in a row - is bolstered by strong performance in several categories, including housing and transportation, food access, and financial stability, according to Sharecare.
The services in SF for the homeless are some of the best in the world, which is why so many homeless people end up there. But providing free meals and services when what the city gets in return is cholera-conditions and garbage dumps for streets, that makes no sense because you reward not just bad but illegal behavior.
Can anyone explain to non American as myself, why anyone in the government would introduce this policy which allow stealing up to 1000$ from shops? I just do not see any benefit to any party except for thugs and thefts. Thanks!
real journalism thank you
Sin does that to a city. And San Francisco has excelled at sin.
Drug addiction and untreated mental illness. It happens everywhere.
@@bombaybeach208 San Francisco enables it, and even when I was homeless and addicted 10 years ago my friends were disappearing down to SF and trying to get me to come down there and be homeless and addicted with them where anyone can just become another nobody in a sea of lost souls. Free needles and easy-to-get drugs. It's a homeless junkie's haven compared to most everywhere else where you'll get busted for being high just walking down the street, which is why people flock there who want to just be homeless and strung out or spun out. When an entire city decides that 'caring' is the solution, everyone's gonna come looking for those handouts from across the nation to get away from wherever they're at that doesn't tolerate their behavior. All SF has to do is stop tolerating it. It used to be illegal to be in possession of drugs, or paraphernalia, or even under the influence. Now they literally just let it run rampant because forcing people to dry out in a jail cell so that they can re-evaluate themselves, their priorities, and their purpose in life might hurt their feelings! Not to mention, god forbid SF builds a new jail to house criminals in. If you don't have anywhere to put people who break the law to keep them off of the streets then it doesn't matter whether or not you have a police force.
@@bombaybeach208no it really doesn’t
It is a spiritually dead city ..my thoughts.
the needle exchange was a serious...SERIOUS mistake...HUGE mistake.....
Services without accountability don't work, anywhere
They need rehabs rather than shelters.
Ain't nobody trying to fix anything
Big pharmaceutical is accountable for some of this. How many doctors etc. Pushed opioids for years and this is one of the consequences. Mental health issues...
I 100% agree with this. Every Dr. PUSHES opioids- my son's broken wrist, teeth extractions, etc...
He definitely had a lot of issues to overcome, because there is no way that I could live out on the street like that for 20 years. I'm coming outta there.
Very insightful conclusion by the anchor/ commentator. The US needs more objective people like him.
Speaking from my OWN personal experience shelters are NOT going to do much because then they will be losing all that money they are getting. The Salvation Army Homeless shelter in Las Vegas doesn't even provide food. You have to pay when you go to their cafe. I don't see the homeless problem being solved anytime soon.
@EstelleCreativeDesigns
Where I live there is a place for people who really want help. I asked for help and got it and now my life is much better.
@@stacydetwiler1475 God bless I was basically homeless for more than six years. If I didn't figure out a way to help myself I would be like so many others becoming DEEP into homeless with no hope of returning to a normal life. Prayer and listening to God is the answer and taking action because FAITH without works is dead!
Great reporting of the real issues! Thank You
Hate speech is illegal , but ruining other people's livelihoods through freedom to destroy your own life is protected.
City gov’t officials are WEAK.
It speaks volumes when a shop owner says there are more thieves than customers.
Wow! What a beautiful American city that has gone to waste. I remember wanting to visit the city because of Full House, not anymore! Drugs destroy families, neighborhoods, communities. We can be such a stronger nation if we worked together to improve the social issues and stopped the drugs. Then everyone wins in the USA.
Yeah same, Full house
The signs should say why they closed down. Let that sink in.
Simple solution, bring back law and order, get rid of the political corruption
Alito was pretty honest. But she still has no solution.
California, Seattle, New York and Chicago are places I would never visit, not even with a full paid vacation
These judges live in the suburbs and are not effected by homeless. They need to be voted out.
He is 100% right abouts the drugs issue.
