It's not that more than a very few (if any) of those currently homeless are FROM the time of those closings ... a great many ARE, however, on the street due to the lack of mental health facilities which they need ...

so the rich do all the hard work and earn all the money...

the city of sf then takes that money and gives it to homeless people...

the homeless people then take that money and give it to crack dealers in exchange for drugs...

the crack dealers then sink those proceeds back into the economy by spending needlessly on things like expensive vehicles with flashy rims, big screen tv's, and fur coats...

sounds like trickle down economics to me...

Anyone who whines and complains about cities like NYC and SF having a homeless problem because of their "endless social welfare" and hasn't themselves killed a homeless person is just flapping their lips.

If you aren't willing to find a way to help them, and you aren't willing to kill them off, then you're just a whiny part of the problem.

Not a big believer in Christian charity, eh? Your choice. Homelessness is largely symptomatic of problems with us, our society. *ducks tomatoes
In all likelihood these people were once happy kids. So, given what we know about them now, if we'd the option, when they were still in the womb should they have been aborted? *guessing you said no there cause babies are more valuable than grownups, right? * cabbage now
Most cities have limited bus and train routes to their neighboring suburbs. The homeless are essentially trapped in urban areas.They have no insurance and depend on Medicaid/Medicare which is readily accepted at county (urban) hospitals. Also, city cops are more tolerant than suburban cops. So your suburb is safe. Take a deep breath.

Finally, is your reasoning so simplistic (aka Trumpian) that you actually think anything short of opening my doors to homeless folks makes it hypocritical for me to post an excerpt from A Christmas Carol signifying my sentiments? And btw, do you really have No compassion for these sick/destitute people? Again, your choice.
So my volunteering at soup kitchens, mentoring kids, and charitable donations don't count. Wait! You're not homeless, are ya?..Maybe I should reconsider...?...ok, nah. *locks door
Yeah, I don't know how to solve homelessness but I DO know it's not simple (Trumpian) and I sure as hell know I don't want YOU in charge of it especially now as I hear the actual gas chambers from Auschwitz are on sale at Ebay.

I'd say on the whole that very much depends on the city....some have little tolerance @ all.
Ever wonder why soup kitchens can't be manned by those who benefit from them?? I have.


You socialists always trying to somehow prove " your more caring and sensitive " Stop with the hand outs and give them some qualifications to land a JOB. Don't tell me none of these people you defend cannot WORK

Our governor is working to pass a law forcing drug tests to be taken and passed in order to qualify for benefits.

More than reasonable.

In the current state, where is the motivation to work?

If getting paid for getting drunk or high seems like the "job" many of these seem to have the needed qualifications.

Government benefits should require drug testing.

Welfare. That's an easy one.
Government workers. ALL of them.
Corporate owners who get tax breaks. Yup, them too.

You want MY money?
Then prove you're not on drugs.
