San Francisco is Building Anti-Homeless Streets

Dude thinks spraying water on crap throwing lady is tough to watch🤣🤣🤣🤣. You need to get out more often.

Hostile? Passive aggressive at best. Can you blame them though?

It is constructed to be a bus shelter, not a hotel room.

Yeah….90% of people think these are a good idea. How dare these businesses build things to keep homeless from making escapements in front of their business.

Imagine being called hostile when people are robbing you and living on your property. Get a clue.

Do you consider door locks to be hostile design, because they deter thieves?

No one talk about preventing homelessness. Preventing homelessness cost less than that incurred to react to the problem. The estimated 7,500 homeless in SF negatively impact the $7.7 billion tourist industry. Crime, dirty streets, safety, who wants to lose their heart in San Francisco? What is it going to do to property values and the enjoyment of residence? Good governments are proactive, not reactive.

Finally they do something that works. San Francisco has been bending over backwards for generations to help out the homeless and it never worked. Good for them

In some other countries they force people doing drugs in streets to either go to a medical facility and get clean or they go to jail. It seems harsh but it works better than what we’re doing. They also offer better services though to help people get clean and get the resources they need to get back on their feet.

Alright, speaking as a security guard in SF. A lot of my job is having to do crisis intervention, you hear alot of these people's stories and Im friends with people who were homeless for more than a few years but got back up on their feet. In my honest opinion, I dont entirely believe its just California's fault, its the entire country's. In most states, homeless are seen as just criminals, idiots who cant handle their own financials, and just drug addicts who never learned after their first overdose. After talking to these people, a lot come here because it really is genuinely still one of the better states to be in terms of social services. HOWEVER, Due to california's high cost of living, its hard for these people who have nothing to build themselves up. If say they went to Idaho or some other state with lower costs of living, and still had access to the same amount of services we have here, I genuinely believe it would significantly easier for them(the ones who really do want to be better) to get back up on their feet.

i am a waiter in Chicago i had to go out on to my restaurants outdoor seating area and try to stop two homeless people from fighting each other in front of my customers i dont have the answers to the homeless issue.i do feel less safe in my own city

the glass is gone because people kept breaking them...

good for san fran, make it clean again.

Finally they get their city back

"Houses are for living in, not financial speculation." ~ Xi Jinping Just because he's a communist doesn't mean he's wrong about everything.

The people that love to defend the homeless are never the ones trying to stop people from being homeless

That's good. When I try to sit on a bench either to rest or wait for a bus, there are sometimes homeless people sleeping. Benches are supposed to be used for sitting for some limited time, not sleeping. It's the city responsibility to solve the homeless problem permanently, but are not doing it.

I called this a long time ago. If you deprive, lots of people of private space, public space will be degraded.

I very much support homeless outreach, mental health, drug and alcohol treatment, job training etc. I don't however believe that anyone has a right to live on a public sidewalk and one of the worst trends we have seen is the normalization of homelessness and treating them as an oppressed minority

Ah yes, fighting the symptoms instead of the disease
