    These protesters can take in these homeless people into their own home
  • @mrsleep0000
    They should lead by example and invite some homeless into their own homes.

    How about hard working taxpayers wanting a clean amd safe city. We pay high property tax to fund homeless programs etc. The government is funded by taxes. Is it wrong to want a clean and safe Environment. How about increasing mental health facilities. Many homeless people with addiction have underlying mental health problems.

    Rehabilitation , Mental Institution or Prison
  • Everyone supporting the homeless should have hosted them in their home and get a fine for every day they don't have one living with them

    A group of people? I see no more than 10 people. 😂

    The city should buy one of those many abandoned buildings away from the not in my backyard neighborhoods..and turn them into shelters.

    Don't protest if you don't have a solution to the problem

    The percentage of out of state homeless Migrating to California is much higher than 40%. They come to SF LA , camping out in street, doing drugs, steal from our local business, defecating on sidewalk because of city government enable them without accountability. I have been to other part of the country, it is less homeless, much cleaner street, no merchants locked up in glass box because government officials will not tolerate reckless drug use and allow homeless camp out on sidewalks. London Breed should have done these kind sweeps years ago but chose to ignore the problem and things got out of control with downtown business fleeing in droves. Time for new leadership who can effectively manage the city and not let this once beautiful turn into descending condition

    14 out of 160 accepted services? Carrot has been offered, and now it is time for the stick! 😮
  • The homeless are still around tho. You can't get rid of them.
  • Free Speech to sound like an idiot…not enough of that in our Country 😂
