One of the most important things for San Francisco - regarding homelessness - is to utilize housing first principles to remove the homeless from the streets. There is not plenty of housing for that in SF and there is very little will to change that.

They have the wealth base to do it, they have the income base to do it. They're a mix of cowards and immoral misers (those who refuse to act).

2019: "Bolstered by its transformative tech industry, San Francisco has the most billionaires per capita than any other city, according to a new study from Wealth-X that measures the number of billionaires and where they live in the world. For every 11,612 people in San Francisco, the study says, there's one billionaire. And that's a much smaller ratio than the second most billionaire-dense city. In New York City, there are 81,211 inhabitants for every one billionaire."

Money is not the issue. NIMBYism is. And many so-called leftist people love the idea of affordable public housing... just not near them.


I wish for dense housing, because I could then buy a house.

However, I also know it won't solve any of those problems it's supposed to solve.
