@SERGIO BACA Well personally.. you shouldn't be listening to ALL liberal sided nor ALL conservative sided news. What Colin is doing is investigative reporting and that type of journalism is what helps find both the problem and hope for solutions.
Bray Webster I’m a native San Franciscan who has always had a heart for Texas. You just burned my hide, Tex. We natives hate the ilk that’s turned our beautiful home into a shithole. Mostly it’s the over privileged whiny snowflake social justice a holes and the gig workers from fucking everywhere that’s come here to live in the high rise economy because they work in tech jobs and the crap state and city politicians pander to the big buck earners, the Chinese who buy their way over the border (not our beloved native Chinese) and the huge monopoly tech companies that attract developers from North Carolina for example, who build crap ugly huge apartment buildings and destroy our culture replacing it with Lego look construction. H1b workers on visas who work here in jobs Americans could have but teachers who could instruct cant afford the rent...Have a little heart dude. We live with this crap you hate and we hate it too.
@@JennyWren333 very well said. We think we are so clever all this tech crap we create but we can't even do the basics right like take care of our environment. Turning this bay area into a shitty place to be, amd u say that with shame and sadness because I used to love it here.
I am too, it's a really dull city now. Just filled with a bunch of overly sensitive, social justice warriors, who take themselves too seriously. Anytime they find out I'm from SF, theyre always telling me how they love 'my' city, and how rare it is to find someone from here (why do you think?). They are irritating snowflakes, what comes to mind are these tools wearing a neon allbody spandex suit when going to bay to breakers with the most punchable face while they're drunk off mimosas. And screw avocado toast for $13. It's just not worth living here anymore, yeah it pays more than other cities but it's super bland. The homelessness is something I've always witnessed so I'm so desensitized to it. Almost all the Latinos, and blacks have left. You just see a bunch of obnoxious trust fund babies from Europe, Asia, or the east coast. It just sucks from so many different angles.
@@gillroygarlic3616Im with you. I'm a native whose family at every generation has built this city. My great grandfather was foreman on the Bridge from start to finish, my grandfather an electrician on the Transbay Tube, my father a welder on the TransAmerica building, and my brother helped in the NeMa apartments. Myself, my dad and brother are currently all homeless because we cant afford to live in the city of our birth. My brother cant afford to live in the very apartments he helped build.... Hows that for perspective. I hate hearing how much these techie fucks love our city. If you loved it so much why the fuck have you ruined it for us natives when it's just a stop on your fucking resume.
*San Francisco and San Diego are the two highest housing costs in the State. The whole State of California is horrible. Liberalism is cancer. No cure in sight for California.*
@@SanDiegoCaliforniaUSA it's not actually liberalism. liberalism - n. - a political or social philosophy advocating the freedom of the individual, parliamentary systems of government, nonviolent modification of political, social, or economic institutions to assure unrestricted development in all spheres of human endeavor, and governmental guarantees of individual rights and civil liberties.
Rigoberto Sosa hey if u can afford it that’s awesome! Personally I lived here all my life and sadly the city has lost its charm but hey new folks moving in can change the monotony of a city ran by techies
Rigoberto Sosa ur a techie??? You will fit right in anyway I’m renting out a3 bedroom home in neighboring Daly City ... old Daly City robe specific it’s just across the st from sf. If u got that techie dollar 💵
If you guys hate these supressive government policies, just look back on your nation's foundings and remember what your fathers did when they tried to control their lives. Kick them out of their thrones and rebuild the system. Your fathers did it and so should you.
I'm real glad Colin addressed the issues of homelessness in SF. I'm from the bay, I know how bad it became over the years. This wasn't the San Francisco I knew when I was kid....
Too a lesser degree, I understand how you feel. I've seen my city (Hialeah, FL), a formerly nice middle class city, become something that almost resembles a third world country. My family is Cuban and we can't help but notice how the newer (Cuban) arrivals are rude, uneducated, they litter, and are living as if they were still in Cuba with no desire to become "American" in the true sense. I'm in my 30s, a veteran, very grateful to be a goddamn American, and know how to be polite to others. I can't say the same for the VAST majority of new arrivals. They should return to their home country and not interfere with our politics or our entitlement programs.
@@MiamiVice. It's unfortunate to see the cities that as once beautiful, turn into something horrible. Besides homelessness, the bay area is also a haven with undocumented immigrants. Taking advantage of the system. But SF is a sanctuary city like many others here...but as of now, im just happy that our federal judge from so. California placed a block on our Magazine ban, which plagued us gun owners for 20 yrs. High salute to you brother since you're a vet! Grateful for your service to our country!
@@MiamiVice. Thanks buddy! Yeah, as we speak, so many Ca. Gun owners are stocking up before our Atty General trys to appeal it. Word spread so fast...every online retailer were out-of-stock on everything. Lol I was lucky enough to get 10 mags... God bless man!
most public servants should be viewed as welfare recipients. Most govt jobs are welfare. Lame regulations to give more minorities & women busy work to do.
should never have been that many govt jobs in the first place. Most all are welfare only jobs. They rob you and me with taxes to pay them (the govt does not have it's own money, just the $ they collect from us by force through taxes). Millions of Americans are employed in govt jobs paid for with yours and my, (assuming you work & pay taxes), forced labor, which makes me a slave to the govt. I resent being a slave but have no choice (since I'm a productive person) because the govt will also arrest me or attach my wages anyway.
Jeff Griffen News Flash. 🔦 America is a corporation💡Taxes( fed or state) that will eventually create new public jobs and be pocket by politicians. What exactly can we do about it?? The system is rigged and challenging it is nearly impossible. 🤷🏽♂️
not sure we can do anything. maybe it is true that all govts consume themselves eventually. Even a civil war wouldn't help because at some point (as the Who mentioned), the new boss is same as the old boss. So hang on tight buddy for the ride because the slaves will eventually rise up and then they will fuck up by creating a new govt. Most people just have to have someone telling them what to do. I never did understand that.
@Will Ting it's not just the politicians. It's the deranged voters that beg for more and more government. It's what happens when you invite millions of illegals and expect government to fix everything. The housing problem is too many people and the government doesn't allow for enough new homes. It can take up to 5 years to be approved to build an apartment building or 5 years to find out you can't. It's a cluster fuck of red tape, taxes and pay outs. It's the typical outcome of socialism.
@Blackmanonafence Since you said that, there's something I want to point out. Human nature was a misconception created to fill the void about the misunderstanding about humans. Genetics are predispositioned towards certain behaviors that adapt to what works within our environment. There are no predetermined genes, all genes can be manipulated and all behavior is learned through environmental adaptation. This means that human nature is adaptability and we are molded by our environment and when you put this train of thought together, everything starts to make a whole lot of sense. If you have an economic system based on scarcity, you have a recipe for competition. If you have a recipe for competition, you get war, labor exploitation, social imbalance, inequality, unsustainability, survival of the fittest, classism, power consolidation, owners of everything. We have to change the underlying precondition of our society using technology and science to a post-scarcity society. We are not running out of anything but the resources we are using and depleting that keep this current economy going yet we are destroying the Earth in the process. Resources are as abundant as the efficiency and renewability of the design itself. The mechanisms that tell us whether our economy is good or bad are the same mechanisms that reward behavior that goes with the grain of the Earth and it's preservation, with collaboration and care for each other and everything that keeps us thriving.

It's not just San Francisco, it's most of California, yes SF is the epicenter but Cali is experiencing this everywhere. This was engineered by 4 families the Brown's, the Newsom's, the Pelosi's & the Getty's. The first thing is to do is hold them accountable.
No, it's not. This is unique to the coastal corridors from La Jolla to Marin and maybe 20 to 30 miles inland. The rest of the state, the central valley and deserts, are poor but they still get the high taxes.
I am 17 years old, growing up in San Francisco having been so ever fortunate to live in a semi upper class family. Everything in this video is so blatantly valid. I have too come to the conclusion that a form of anarchy will be the only solution to this absolute mess of civil planning. I love this city, but over the last five or so years it has gotten exponentially worse. I love your videos Colion. Keep it up
And they move to TX etc. and still vote the same and ruin the new state they move to. Seattle NY etc all so expensive whats the common theme here??? Stop voting left.
In 06 I moved back to LA and I would talk about how dope the City (SF) was compared to LA. One of my arguments was literally about how much cleaner it was in SF. But man, when I moved back up last year and saw the condition of the City, my heart sank and I had only one word in mind: FILTHY. I felt confused, angry, disappointed, disgusted, sad, helpless and overwhelmed. How did SF change from San Francisco to Super Filthy?
I feel what she was saying - I feel like the Bay Area SF mainly has become a place that is transplant only. The soul, the original culture is being pushed out. Like for example they have a vegan Mexican joint in The Mission. The only mf’ers that are vegan typically are the Uber wealthy types. I miss the old underground slightly gangster version of SF.
I remember back in the early 80's when a two bedroom Apt. in S.F. was $750 a month... Easily affordable for two workers earning in the lower-mid pay scale at the time... People who worked in city services, secretary's, lower level managers, people who worked in markets & industry for example...All those people who work in those services now live outside of the city & commute. There is no middle/ lower middle class actually 'living' in San Francisco now, unless they are in government assisted housing. Period.
Hell yeah man my economics teacher told a story how he bought a studio flat for around 15k straight after his army contract was up. He still owns it to this day and is worth almost 5x what he got it for but thanks to the economy, inflation, and the plain cost of living it isn't even much money out here truly a sad situation out here in Cali most of my aunts and uncles left long ago I dont understand why my family is still sticking around to be honest.
Fuck that if that was 80s prices. I had a 3 bedroom apartment in 2006 in upstate NY for 525 a month. And that included utilities. I currently own an awesome 3 bedroom 3 full bathroom house and my mortgage is 750 a month
I know. I love when summer rolls around here in Texas. It can weed out the weak. Even staying inside under air conditioning can hurt. Those summer electric bills ain't no joke!!
You ain't lying. I'm seeing it right now. Sad Ztate of Affairs, folks. Get prayed up. I.E. Look at Merkels Germany. Now think: Immigration. We are at war with Dark Forces. Think of it this way: Nipsey Hussle wanted to unite OGs in California. He was murdered a day before 1[Day] before meeting with the Police Commissioner to start the peace process for gangs in L.A. Note: [They] fear [US] coming together.
The problems not just in San Francisco it's also in Silicon Valley San Jose same Tech stuff that's going on in San Francisco the same Tech things are going on in San Jose locals and Native people from San Jose are being pushed out

8:40 "family of 4 ... making less than $92,000 a year is considered well into the low income range" from a news clip - something is very wrong with that statement .....
I agree, one has to ask themselves how then $15 an hour minum wage solves this problem? It doesn't!. I think the one guy he was talking to, the older gentleman with the tie setting at the table said it best. Having homeless or other problems like this, gives them reasons to raises taxes, give themselves raises, fat contracts to friends, family and campaign donors. Personally this is why # walk away. It's time to look out side the box and stop blaming it on class warfare.
@@alex-qd6of yes there is, however I don't agree with it. I grew up poor. I am now what I call a low middle class person. I begrudge any one who has more money then me, or the 1 or 2% people. I begrudge unfair, unequal taxes. ( however I don't mean raise the tax on the wealthy, We can raise tax money by ending loop holes. I am all for a flat tax, no deductions. no earned income credit. You didn't pay in you don't get any money out. Let's be transparent on giving people finical help. Can't be transparent when a person get's earned income credit or child credit to get more money back then they paid in. Like I said I am low middle income person. Before taxes I made 50,000, just my federal tax bill was was over $7000, then I had State, over $1000, city about $350, Social Security tax, medicare tax. Oh I got a penalty of $63 because I didn't have enough taxes paid out. So after all the pay roll taxes my gross was under $40,000, now I pay medical insurance ( Dental, eye ) I pay 6% on most all goods I buy. Car insurance highest in the nation. My point is a flat tax, no loop holes for any one. first say $35,000 for single 70,000 for married no tax. then two three brackets. 10% up to 70,000 single, 100,000 married, then 18% then 22% this includes everyone. Oh two deductions. Charity for all, and a % for business who purchase new equipment or remodels. That's it. Then taxes can be done on a post card.
Similar to Seattle. I’m wondering how much of an increase in the bulk sale of hypodermic needles these programs have generated. Are these needles all coming from one manufacturer? Which politicians own stock in these companies?
city-journal [dot] org/seattle-homelessness The heads of organisations like the Seatle Housing and Resource Effort and Downtown Emercency Service Center earn over $100K a year. These groups subsist on government contracts worth millions of dollars. They and their activist allies push for policies that attract homeless ppl then sell the solution to the city-government. Tax payers get fleeced and their neighbourhoods get turned into slums.
There are a lot of 'plastic' people in the world, few 'real' people. I think you are one of the 'real' people. Stay safe, and keep bringing out the truth. Thank you.
Seattle is catching up. And, it is good business so the problem won't be solved. Government agencies and contractors protecting their budgets so why solve the problem?
If one were to make a documentary and call it "Homelessness, Inc." you'd know why homelessness will never, ever be fixed. Someone's getting rich off all of this. As Deep Throat famously said "Follow the money." Homelessness in San Francisco is BIG business.
Absolutely!! It's a huge money making scheme. Taxes to Government to contractors to investment funds to the rich to the campaigns to the candidate, etc., etc. Follow the money! It IS an industry!

“If taxation without consent is not robbery, then any band of robbers have only to declare themselves a government, and all their robberies are legalized.” ― Lysander Spooner
Ahhh the taxation is theft assholes have arrived, well that’s until you use the roads, school system, or FHA lending system. But hey, let’s push for a shittier system. :D
BumpOnALog The taxation is theft people do come in different flavors so some feel like they shouldn’t pay for nothing they aren’t using........that’s until they need it and they’ll stay quiet about it. That’s my observation from personal experience. “ I shouldn’t pay for gas tax,” “ but those taxes fund highways and transits, that you use.” “Uuuuuuuuughhhhhhhhhh.” Enlightened me since I do want to understand more about this topic.
@@Aw3someOpZ Do you value roads enough to pay for it? If so, it would be cheaper, better and more efficient if offered as a private service. Do you value security enough to pay for it? Well then, it will be cheaper, better and more accountable if we had private police services (since they have no recourse to individuals, or to the public as stated in Castle Rock v. Gonzalez and in Warren v. DC). Think of a product or service and then pull it away from market forces, and you'll see it degrade in quality and raise in price (think letter carrying, or those roads you love so much, and now health insurance since it's practically forced purchasing with the individual mandate).
you hit the nail on the head. I used to live in Chicago and the exact same thing is going on. there are a lot of organizations fighting the problem, but it is growing faster than their resources.
- think about it- That tells you it’s a hidden agenda -not just SF it’s the ACIENT beast system there really is no such thing as governments anywhere - governments are only a facade created by the beast system to conceal its work.
Axegrinder 396 but how was SF before the big companies moved in? I really think it’s a disservice how people blame, “ liberalism,” but will happily look the other way when talking about the contributing “capitalist,” factor on the problem ( Real estate investors and giant tech companies driving up the price of everything.) colion does gloss over it but puts greater emphasis on the social program aspect of it. You can’t have a homeless problem if you don’t have giant companies driving up the price of everything.
Aw3someOpZ it’s a combination of both. Big tech driving up prices definitely contributes to the problem, but SF’s liberal policies enable this mayhem. Taxpayer dollars funding free needle giveaways, shelters with 24hr nurses on duty where junkies can shoot up without fear of arrest. Last I heard heroin use was illegal. Not in SF apparently. SF has always been expensive. But it mostly definitely has not been this much of a dump.
And they move to TX etc. and still vote the same and ruin the new state they move to. Seattle NY etc all so expensive whats the common theme here??? Stop voting left.
the cities completely overpower the rest of the state and the cities are completely full of narcissistic assholes who do not care about the actual oppression they create as long as they live good while they prop up their own image of being saints while exiling anyone who calls them out. so they surround themselves with other narcissistic assholes who blow the same horn. They only cure is for the entire state to collapse or be broken up
G. Patton DON’T VOTE, PERIOD..! THIS COUNTRY WAS BOUGHT FOR AND SOLD FOR A LOOOONG TIME AGO. THEY SPIT THE SAME SHIT EVERY 4 YEARS AND ALL THE IDIOTS BUY IT. CHANGE WILL COME WHEN WE THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY COME TOGETHER. IT TAKES MORE THAN ONE MAN TO CHANGE THE WORLD. THINK .!!!!
In July 2002, m I visited SF with army buddies, and it was already going downhill with homeless & beggars every corner, and every half-block. I decided not to ever visit it again.
I have seen the same thing creeping out of Portland, OR and into the surrounding areas. This is what the Democrats have created. They won't stop until this country is in ruins or We the People run them out of office.
Eric N ? Didn’t know multi-million corporations were democrat. At least in practice they’re conservative. I believe the forces behind the newly minted homeless is sheer capitalism, Investors and tech companies buying up property and driving the price of everything up. So this whole idea of, “it’s the leftist fault,” while ignoring the other mayor factors is negligent at best.
There are many multi-million companies that are democrat. You are on one of their web sites right now. Amazon, all the big media companies except FOX, Twitter, Facebook, the list goes on and on. Look at all the corporate sponsorship behind Hillary. How can you be so blind?
Planet Nine and how can you be sooo naive? Biting into the politics narrative of it, but willfully ignoring the rich vs poor struggle? But sure tell me more about how Hillary is responsible for this. Get over her. She’s done everyone a favor and got lost.
I'm not ignoring the rich vs poor struggle, what gave you that idea? I'm also not ignoring all the devastated inner cities that are run by democrats either. The problem is elitism and it comes from both the left and the right. At least the right is doing something about it, better economy more jobs and lower taxes.
Andrew Price yea that’s nice and everything, but how many people make 92k in south GA? I’m a union carpenter in San Francisco, CA and last year I made 154k.... I’m not going to make that in GA.
It all depends on how you manage your money, but yeah, it's a lot. Anybody legitimately curious about bettering their financial situation (no, I'm not advertising), look up Dave Ramsey here on youtube. Dude's been refining his craft for decades and has helped countless millions. Debt is dumb, cash is king! Thank you Dave for your amazing teachings!
It’s actually about 100k that makes you low income in SF. Throughout the Bay Area, it’s a little lower but for the most part, all of CA is a lost cause.
Royce Gunner I mean depends. My father makes 100 plus a year, granted he’s had 4 kids and racked up a lot of debt during 2008. There are a lot of jobs within 45 minutes of anywhere around here. I’m more east of Atlanta but prices around here aren’t bad either. Cities are so expensive and unless you make 200 plus a year, you aren’t doing well. If you make 60 a year you are doing well and making 60 a year is pretty easy. Just depends how and where you want to live I guess
I'm from San Francisco too, I have a bad feeling that I can't stay here for long. That being said, I don't know if I want to live here still, because this whole place is a mess.
The cities of California were a beacon of human achievement. Now they are unfortunate black pits that will swallow those who wish to be led by the blind. You do great work noir. Exposing all this darkness.
California was chosen for a reason. Ca was a deep red state for a century. It is a border state. A beacon of Americana in the 50's. Liberals from all over the nation flocked there.. Once they had control, they open the border. Democrat votes for decades.
If you drive your car into SF, the city will try real hard to cite it ($100 base price), tow it, ($400) store it (at a premium), and auction it to help pay for the 11B in “services”!

I travel to San Francisco frequently (I work for a company based there but live in NYC) and I can confirm the representation of that city in this video. It used to be a great city but has been run into the ground.
@@Jennthegreen I can't speak for any cities that I have yet to visit, however, I live in NYC and though there are homeless people her as well the problem is far better handled than it is in SF. It's a stark contrast.
@@Jennthegreen That's the point. The author of this video DID spend time in the city and made an assessment based on his investigation. I have also spent time in that city and I agree with his assessment. He blames this city because it is their responsibility to mitigate the situation as best they can. They are failing.
man you're in my hood now.. Thanks for coming to the Bay, we need a more objective spotlight on the issues that get swept under the rug by the progressive voice in media saying everything is fine, just tax a little more to fix the problem. .
Coming soon to a state near you. All these people moving out of CA think they’re escaping. Little do they know, everything rolls downhill from here. Whether it’s denying or allowing something, CA is never first but once it happens here, it’s the tipping point that rolls downhill to the other states.

Shogo you’re a whiny bitch. It wasn’t “throwing racism”. They made a point that the media, universities and left militias disregard anything coming from the mouth of a white conservative. If you think that was racist, you’re part of the problem.
The problem with SF is their district attorney who doesn’t prosecute crimes. Go one county south and you see people punished for breaking the law... homelessness is still an issue, but fractionally so.
@@Aw3someOpZ I know you're just here to argue, and that's cool. I get it. But I'll attach an article that speaks to my point.

I could be mistaken but for sure 100% San Francisco if not the entire State of California decriminalized theft under $900 if the police arrive and you stole under $900 from a business or a person you get a ticket and a request that you show up to court and you walk away look it up for yourself I'm not joking
Thank you. It is depraved, that the city politic, would allow this mess. I lived in the Haight, in 1977. Came from NJ. NOW so many decades later. I visit twice a year. Even driving on the city highway, you can smell feces. It has an open sewer smell all over the city. Dont know whose to blame, here. Just know, the sanitation of a city DOES reflect its basic core values. Versailles was beautiful, but stank.
i used to be homeless on haight st in San Fran...... "This Dynamic is unsustainable......" 100% accurate.....i want to express my sorrow regarding this....it's bad.... and EVERYONE is to blame.... the thought makes me taste copper
Yep, people can sell an average home in Cali then buy nice home in Texas because the dollar is actually worth something here but as soon as they show up...they start pushing the same agendas that made them leave Cali. Its infuriating.
George Forall the government is the problem..there is NO solution until our current government is rebuilt from the ground up. ALL current politicians are evil,$$ motivated criminals. everything has been trivialized,homogenized, pasteurized,relegated. ,delegated,over inflated and incorporated to the point of insanity-and NO ONE is offering up ANY resistance-none..wtsvr...stop participating and supporting this bs..you must have proper licence,permits,3 forms of i.d.and at least 1 child offered up as collateral just to breathe and take a fuckin' shit people! wtf? Off with their heads I say! I've had enough-liberty-or death!!!stop the madness!! stop funding these assholes!
Can confirm. I left three years ago after witnessing it all. I just couldn’t handle it anymore. My life has changed 100% since leaving. I have a home, and employment, mentally healthy children now. I would leave again if given the choice. I get anxiety when I get off the plane to go back to visit.
The homeless problem is all the way from San Diego to Vancouver Washington. I drive truck and see it 1st hand. I refuse to go to some places for my own safty
Whenever Comic-Con isn't in town the ENTIRE area around the San Diego convention center is a giant tent city! I was shocked the first time I visited that area outside of Comic Con and saw it for myself. I makes me wonder what is done with those people whenever the convention center needs to be cleared out for a big event....
It was a problem in Vancouver back in the late 70 s. All the drug addicts work their way to the warmer climate. Where I use to live in London Ontario it became a hugh problem when they shut down all the mental hospitals in St. Thomas. Those buildings are cleaned kept warm and empty. But it is considered cruel to keep mentally I'll people in hospitals, heat, regular meals and with trained staff. But it is fine to leave them on the street in minus 40 degree. Besides bring on the street, the clog up emergency services.
Thank you for bringing this all to light I’ve subscribed because your videos are telling the truth My mom grew up in the city in the 40s 50s and will not even go over there anymore I use to visit there in the 60s and 70s I will not even go over there anymore because it’s become such a sad site
This is an awesome piece of journalism. Beautifully presented by the people living in the SF community. Aside from your opening and closing statements you hardly spoke at all giving true voice to the subjects of this piece. Thank you for doing what so many others fail to do nowadays. Keep up the good work.
Why don't the poor people just leave? There are far, far, far less expensive places. San Francisco is insanely expensive. There is no rule that says they should have to house you. It's just like anything else. If you can't afford the most expensive car, you get a cheaper car. I you can't afford to live in Frisco, you go elsewhere. Everyone points their finger at San Franciso government and they are right, but these same people will vote those same people right back in at the next election.
It's not about not being able to afford living in SF - everywhere in the US it still costs you to move or establish yourself somewhere new and without any resources that is literally impossible. While there are absolutely tight connections being homelessness and poverty, it's worth noting the legitimate homelessness is a separate issue from poverty by itself (which is also still big). Finally it's not all the same people voting for these substandard social programs and/or lack of decent resources for the truly impoverished of us - it's a corrupt in-group of elites who manage the local and regional political influence far more than average citizens, let alone those with nothing to their name who should focus on staying alive/improving their personal life before politics anyway.
Expensive cities need to figure out how to maintain a mix of income levels because they still need people to staff low income jobs. The market will take care of this to a certain extent but bottom line is that someone, somewhere needs to be doing the one thing which LOWERS rents, building housing. Notice though that this is the one thing that we aren't doing and put up massive barriers in the way of doing so. What if Frisco used that cash just to build housing and set the rents at non-profit levels? I guarantee that the low income housing problem would be solved but then landlords and homeowners would lose money. This is why they are saying there is no incentive to solve the problem. They just want to appear like they care.
I rented a two bedroom apartment in Indianapolis for $395.00 a month from a private landlord in an over the garage apartment with a long lease and my SSI check easily covers that and I moved there from Tampa Bay Florida where the same place would cost well over twice that. There are lots of places to live if one looks around but you need to be willing to work or be on some kind of support like me, not be an addict or drunk or be unwilling to assimilate into normal society and fit in well enough. How many of these people will do that?
I am a huge fan and currently homeless living in LA but i was homeless in sf and i lost everything i was stabbed 13x heart 2x both lungs liver and kidneys lost everything when i was in hospital now its like a war between the homeless on drugs vs non users

I am a Bay Area native. You hit the nail on the head. It’s really depressing to see how the city has declined.
Sharon Quinn Born in SF and I agree. Thank tech for giving greedy landlords a way to shove people out of what WAS affordable housing, fucking gougers.
Bray Webster I’m a native San Franciscan who has always had a heart for Texas. You just burned my hide, Tex. We natives hate the ilk that’s turned our beautiful home into a shithole. Mostly it’s the over privileged whiny snowflake social justice a holes and the gig workers from fucking everywhere that’s come here to live in the high rise economy because they work in tech jobs and the crap state and city politicians pander to the big buck earners, the Chinese who buy their way over the border (not our beloved native Chinese) and the huge monopoly tech companies that attract developers from North Carolina for example, who build crap ugly huge apartment buildings and destroy our culture replacing it with Lego look construction. H1b workers on visas who work here in jobs Americans could have but teachers who could instruct cant afford the rent...Have a little heart dude. We live with this crap you hate and we hate it too.
@@JennyWren333 very well said. We think we are so clever all this tech crap we create but we can't even do the basics right like take care of our environment. Turning this bay area into a shitty place to be, amd u say that with shame and sadness because I used to love it here.
I am too, it's a really dull city now. Just filled with a bunch of overly sensitive, social justice warriors, who take themselves too seriously. Anytime they find out I'm from SF, theyre always telling me how they love 'my' city, and how rare it is to find someone from here (why do you think?). They are irritating snowflakes, what comes to mind are these tools wearing a neon allbody spandex suit when going to bay to breakers with the most punchable face while they're drunk off mimosas. And screw avocado toast for $13. It's just not worth living here anymore, yeah it pays more than other cities but it's super bland. The homelessness is something I've always witnessed so I'm so desensitized to it. Almost all the Latinos, and blacks have left. You just see a bunch of obnoxious trust fund babies from Europe, Asia, or the east coast. It just sucks from so many different angles.
@@gillroygarlic3616Im with you. I'm a native whose family at every generation has built this city. My great grandfather was foreman on the Bridge from start to finish, my grandfather an electrician on the Transbay Tube, my father a welder on the TransAmerica building, and my brother helped in the NeMa apartments. Myself, my dad and brother are currently all homeless because we cant afford to live in the city of our birth. My brother cant afford to live in the very apartments he helped build.... Hows that for perspective. I hate hearing how much these techie fucks love our city. If you loved it so much why the fuck have you ruined it for us natives when it's just a stop on your fucking resume.
This is real journalism. I already liked you, Colion.
Bravo and well done, sir.
Making less than 92k is considered lower income did i hear that right
No just san fran but even down south cali.
Yes, to even be able to afford to buy a home in SF or San Jose you would have to make $250k. It's ridiculous.
*San Francisco and San Diego are the two highest housing costs in the State. The whole State of California is horrible. Liberalism is cancer. No cure in sight for California.*
Yep, just like you heard that city officials making $117K are “overpaid”.
@@SanDiegoCaliforniaUSA it's not actually liberalism.
liberalism - n. - a political or social philosophy advocating the freedom of the individual, parliamentary systems of government, nonviolent modification of political, social, or economic institutions to assure unrestricted development in all spheres of human endeavor, and governmental guarantees of individual rights and civil liberties.

I'm real glad Colin addressed the issues of homelessness in SF.
I'm from the bay, I know how bad it became over the years. This wasn't the San Francisco I knew when I was kid....
Too a lesser degree, I understand how you feel. I've seen my city (Hialeah, FL), a formerly nice middle class city, become something that almost resembles a third world country. My family is Cuban and we can't help but notice how the newer (Cuban) arrivals are rude, uneducated, they litter, and are living as if they were still in Cuba with no desire to become "American" in the true sense. I'm in my 30s, a veteran, very grateful to be a goddamn American, and know how to be polite to others. I can't say the same for the VAST majority of new arrivals. They should return to their home country and not interfere with our politics or our entitlement programs.
@@MiamiVice. It's unfortunate to see the cities that as once beautiful, turn into something horrible. Besides homelessness, the bay area is also a haven with undocumented immigrants. Taking advantage of the system.

So many “Public Servants” who want to keep their jobs but not admitting failure.
most public servants should be viewed as welfare recipients. Most govt jobs are welfare. Lame regulations to give more minorities & women busy work to do.
Jeff Griffen Than again, public jobs(Gov) employ million of Americans.
should never have been that many govt jobs in the first place. Most all are welfare only jobs. They rob you and me with taxes to pay them (the govt does not have it's own money, just the $ they collect from us by force through taxes). Millions of Americans are employed in govt jobs paid for with yours and my, (assuming you work & pay taxes), forced labor, which makes me a slave to the govt. I resent being a slave but have no choice (since I'm a productive person) because the govt will also arrest me or attach my wages anyway.
Jeff Griffen News Flash. 🔦 America is a corporation💡Taxes( fed or state) that will eventually create new public jobs and be pocket by politicians. What exactly can we do about it?? The system is rigged and challenging it is nearly impossible. 🤷🏽♂️
not sure we can do anything. maybe it is true that all govts consume themselves eventually. Even a civil war wouldn't help because at some point (as the Who mentioned), the new boss is same as the old boss. So hang on tight buddy for the ride because the slaves will eventually rise up and then they will fuck up by creating a new govt. Most people just have to have someone telling them what to do. I never did understand that.
Yeah San Francisco USED to be a real nice place to visit. Not anymore 😐 The homeless/junkie problem has turned it into a real shithole.
But we gotta overthrow the government dude. We gotta enable the druggies and people that DONT want to hustle......
@Will Ting it's not just the politicians. It's the deranged voters that beg for more and more government. It's what happens when you invite millions of illegals and expect government to fix everything. The housing problem is too many people and the government doesn't allow for enough new homes. It can take up to 5 years to be approved to build an apartment building or 5 years to find out you can't. It's a cluster fuck of red tape, taxes and pay outs. It's the typical outcome of socialism.
Same with Seattle.
@Blackmanonafence Since you said that, there's something I want to point out.
Human nature was a misconception created to fill the void about the misunderstanding about humans. Genetics are predispositioned towards certain behaviors that adapt to what works within our environment. There are no predetermined genes, all genes can be manipulated and all behavior is learned through environmental adaptation. This means that human nature is adaptability and we are molded by our environment and when you put this train of thought together, everything starts to make a whole lot of sense.
If you have an economic system based on scarcity, you have a recipe for competition. If you have a recipe for competition, you get war, labor exploitation, social imbalance, inequality, unsustainability, survival of the fittest, classism, power consolidation, owners of everything. We have to change the underlying precondition of our society using technology and science to a post-scarcity society. We are not running out of anything but the resources we are using and depleting that keep this current economy going yet we are destroying the Earth in the process. Resources are as abundant as the efficiency and renewability of the design itself. The mechanisms that tell us whether our economy is good or bad are the same mechanisms that reward behavior that goes with the grain of the Earth and it's preservation, with collaboration and care for each other and everything that keeps us thriving.

Having grown up in NorCal I loved visiting SF in the 90s and early 2000s. This shit is depressing.
Same here. Left Corona in 88. Unfortunately Balto is as bad or worse.
In 06 I moved back to LA and I would talk about how dope the City (SF) was compared to LA. One of my arguments was literally about how much cleaner it was in SF. But man, when I moved back up last year and saw the condition of the City, my heart sank and I had only one word in mind: FILTHY. I felt confused, angry, disappointed, disgusted, sad, helpless and overwhelmed. How did SF change from San Francisco to Super Filthy?
Simple ... Liberal policy.
Mexican Drug Cartels paying off the Democrats elected to run the city!
Gavin Newsom. That’s how.
Tech industry boomed, turned SF into their playground. Costs went way up, people from all over started moving in, housing shortage...
I feel what she was saying - I feel like the Bay Area SF mainly has become a place that is transplant only. The soul, the original culture is being pushed out. Like for example they have a vegan Mexican joint in The Mission. The only mf’ers that are vegan typically are the Uber wealthy types. I miss the old underground slightly gangster version of SF.
I remember back in the early 80's when a two bedroom Apt. in S.F. was $750 a month...
Easily affordable for two workers earning in the lower-mid pay scale at the time...
People who worked in city services, secretary's, lower level managers, people who worked in markets & industry for example...All those people who work in those services now live outside of the city & commute. There is no middle/ lower middle class actually 'living' in San Francisco now, unless they are in government assisted housing. Period.
Hell yeah man my economics teacher told a story how he bought a studio flat for around 15k straight after his army contract was up.

Fuck that if that was 80s prices.
I had a 3 bedroom apartment in 2006 in upstate NY for 525 a month. And that included utilities.
I currently own an awesome 3 bedroom 3 full bathroom house and my mortgage is 750 a month
Александр Перчов and a big house in bernal heights was200k or less near Cortland in the 80s

You didn't pay in you don't get any money out. Let's be transparent on giving people finical help. Can't be transparent when a person get's earned income credit or child credit to get more money back then they paid in. Like I said I am low middle income person. Before taxes I made 50,000, just my federal tax bill was was over $7000, then I had State, over $1000, city about $350, Social Security tax, medicare tax. Oh I got a penalty of $63 because I didn't have enough taxes paid out. So after all the pay roll taxes my gross was under $40,000, now I pay medical insurance ( Dental, eye ) I pay 6% on most all goods I buy. Car insurance highest in the nation.
My point is a flat tax, no loop holes for any one. first say $35,000 for single 70,000 for married no tax. then two three brackets. 10% up to 70,000 single, 100,000 married, then 18% then 22% this includes everyone.
Oh two deductions. Charity for all, and a % for business who purchase new equipment or remodels. That's it. Then taxes can be done on a post card.

Ahhh the taxation is theft assholes have arrived, well that’s until you use the roads, school system, or FHA lending system. But hey, let’s push for a shittier system. :D
Aw3someOpZ Total strawman. Collectivism is not taxation, totally different.
BumpOnALog The taxation is theft people do come in different flavors so some feel like they shouldn’t pay for nothing they aren’t using........that’s until they need it and they’ll stay quiet about it. That’s my observation from personal experience. “ I shouldn’t pay for gas tax,” “ but those taxes fund highways and transits, that you use.”
“Uuuuuuuuughhhhhhhhhh.”
Enlightened me since I do want to understand more about this topic.
@@Aw3someOpZ Do you value roads enough to pay for it? If so, it would be cheaper, better and more efficient if offered as a private service. Do you value security enough to pay for it? Well then, it will be cheaper, better and more accountable if we had private police services (since they have no recourse to individuals, or to the public as stated in Castle Rock v. Gonzalez and in Warren v. DC).
Think of a product or service and then pull it away from market forces, and you'll see it degrade in quality and raise in price (think letter carrying, or those roads you love so much, and now health insurance since it's practically forced purchasing with the individual mandate).
you hit the nail on the head. I used to live in Chicago and the exact same thing is going on. there are a lot of organizations fighting the problem, but it is growing faster than their resources.
- think about it- That tells you it’s a hidden agenda -not just SF
it’s the ACIENT beast system there really is no such thing as governments anywhere - governments are only a facade created by the beast system to conceal its work.
I lived in SF for 15 years, still work there. What’s happened to that city in the last decade plus........is criminal. All by design.
Axegrinder 396 but how was SF before the big companies moved in? I really think it’s a disservice how people blame, “ liberalism,” but will happily look the other way when talking about the contributing “capitalist,” factor on the problem ( Real estate investors and giant tech companies driving up the price of everything.) colion does gloss over it but puts greater emphasis on the social program aspect of it. You can’t have a homeless problem if you don’t have giant companies driving up the price of everything.
Aw3someOpZ it’s a combination of both. Big tech driving up prices definitely contributes to the problem, but SF’s liberal policies enable this mayhem. Taxpayer dollars funding free needle giveaways, shelters with 24hr nurses on duty where junkies can shoot up without fear of arrest. Last I heard heroin use was illegal. Not in SF apparently.
SF has always been expensive. But it mostly definitely has not been this much of a dump.
homelessness has turned into a giant money grab for cities.
And they move to TX etc. and still vote the same and ruin the new state they move to. Seattle NY etc all so expensive whats the common theme here??? Stop voting left.
Brutally hard-hitting. Thanks for going there brother.
Keep making them mad Colion!
Thank you for everything you do, you're an amazing man making a difference! Many blessings!
...but keep voting for people like Gavin Newsom California (sarcasm)...wake up!!!!
No sympathy.
the cities completely overpower the rest of the state and the cities are completely full of narcissistic assholes who do not care about the actual oppression they create as long as they live good while they prop up their own image of being saints while exiling anyone who calls them out. so they surround themselves with other narcissistic assholes who blow the same horn.
They only cure is for the entire state to collapse or be broken up

DON’T VOTE, PERIOD..! THIS COUNTRY WAS BOUGHT FOR AND SOLD FOR A LOOOONG TIME AGO. THEY SPIT THE SAME SHIT EVERY 4 YEARS AND ALL THE IDIOTS BUY IT.
CHANGE WILL COME WHEN WE THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY COME TOGETHER.
IT TAKES MORE THAN ONE MAN TO CHANGE THE WORLD. THINK .!!!!
I voted for gavin newsome. I voted for him to go back to the private sector.
This is assuming the votes even matter at all.
In July 2002, m I visited SF with army buddies, and it was already going downhill with homeless & beggars every corner, and every half-block. I decided not to ever visit it again.
I have seen the same thing creeping out of Portland, OR and into the surrounding areas. This is what the Democrats have created. They won't stop until this country is in ruins or We the People run them out of office.
Eric N ? Didn’t know multi-million corporations were democrat. At least in practice they’re conservative. I believe the forces behind the newly minted homeless is sheer capitalism, Investors and tech companies buying up property and driving the price of everything up. So this whole idea of, “it’s the leftist fault,” while ignoring the other mayor factors is negligent at best.
There are many multi-million companies that are democrat. You are on one of their web sites right now. Amazon, all the big media companies except FOX, Twitter, Facebook, the list goes on and on. Look at all the corporate sponsorship behind Hillary. How can you be so blind?
Planet Nine and how can you be sooo naive? Biting into the politics narrative of it, but willfully ignoring the rich vs poor struggle? But sure tell me more about how Hillary is responsible for this. Get over her. She’s done everyone a favor and got lost.
I'm not ignoring the rich vs poor struggle, what gave you that idea? I'm also not ignoring all the devastated inner cities that are run by democrats either. The problem is elitism and it comes from both the left and the right. At least the right is doing something about it, better economy more jobs and lower taxes.
92k a year in south ga will get you a nice 2 story house and several acres
Andrew Price yea that’s nice and everything, but how many people make 92k in south GA? I’m a union carpenter in San Francisco, CA and last year I made 154k.... I’m not going to make that in GA.
It all depends on how you manage your money, but yeah, it's a lot.
Anybody legitimately curious about bettering their financial situation (no, I'm not advertising), look up Dave Ramsey here on youtube. Dude's been refining his craft for decades and has helped countless millions. Debt is dumb, cash is king! Thank you Dave for your amazing teachings!
I live in Ga (60+ years) and 92K will get you more than that. You could get a 4BR, 3Ba house on 20 acres.
It’s actually about 100k that makes you low income in SF. Throughout the Bay Area, it’s a little lower but for the most part, all of CA is a lost cause.
Royce Gunner I mean depends. My father makes 100 plus a year, granted he’s had 4 kids and racked up a lot of debt during 2008. There are a lot of jobs within 45 minutes of anywhere around here. I’m more east of Atlanta but prices around here aren’t bad either. Cities are so expensive and unless you make 200 plus a year, you aren’t doing well. If you make 60 a year you are doing well and making 60 a year is pretty easy. Just depends how and where you want to live I guess

Im from San Francisco, most of the homelessness is from drugs and politics.
keyboy dfs agreed
I’m from Seattle. I agree!
I'm from San Francisco too, I have a bad feeling that I can't stay here for long. That being said, I don't know if I want to live here still, because this whole place is a mess.
Not many native San Franciscans are left in San Francisco.
@Paul Bonethruster , politicians allow and turn a blind eye to what is going on. Also, this is what happens in a liberal city.
The best expose I’ve seen on San Francisco!
Thank you
It's real hard to get out of there if you're homeless. I know, from first-hand experience. I thank God for getting me out.
Do the homeless not have feet?

The cities of California were a beacon of human achievement. Now they are unfortunate black pits that will swallow those who wish to be led by the blind. You do great work noir. Exposing all this darkness.
California was chosen for a reason. Ca was a deep red state for a century. It is a border state. A beacon of Americana in the 50's. Liberals from all over the nation flocked there.. Once they had control, they open the border. Democrat votes for decades.
@@Halesburg *Yeah, no.*
30,000 in taxes is lunacy. The individuals who have let San Francisco get to where it's at now should be ashamed of themselves.
Dude, that was just in property taxes!
Sociopaths are never ashamed of what they do...no matter what.
The people keep voting them in! The only thing I'm sorry about is the liberals will pick and move to bordering states and try to ruin those states.
Lol they wont let some one live in a tiny house under what is it 700sq feet? But they want to let ppl sleep in tents on the street.
Absolutely brilliant! This video is a game-changer, courageous in its scope, superlative for your insights.
Thank you for doing this.
Big ups to you bro for your REAL journalism! Keep up the good work!
If you drive your car into SF, the city will try real hard to cite it ($100 base price), tow it, ($400) store it (at a premium), and auction it to help pay for the 11B in “services”!

How do they raise property values... magic?
@@alexkrasnic3850 anti new development. There is a housing shortage.
Yes n no the homes and condos that are selling create more taxes, however prop 13 keeps your property tax at same level you purchased said homes n condos. Ppl turning homes into complexes is a fnn mess
I travel to San Francisco frequently (I work for a company based there but live in NYC) and I can confirm the representation of that city in this video. It used to be a great city but has been run into the ground.
Funny. I just spent 5 days there and I didn't see any more homeless people then downtown in my city.
It's not just SF. It's everywhere.
@@Jennthegreen I can't speak for any cities that I have yet to visit, however, I live in NYC and though there are homeless people her as well the problem is far better handled than it is in SF. It's a stark contrast.
I just think that unless people spend time in the city, they should just be quite.
Blaming the city doesn't do anything.
How about you help out?
@@Jennthegreen That's the point. The author of this video DID spend time in the city and made an assessment based on his investigation. I have also spent time in that city and I agree with his assessment. He blames this city because it is their responsibility to mitigate the situation as best they can. They are failing.
A lot of conspiracies out there. Corruption is everywhere. John stossel does some great reporting as well.
Stay safe Colion!
man you're in my hood now.. Thanks for coming to the Bay, we need a more objective spotlight on the issues that get swept under the rug by the progressive voice in media saying everything is fine, just tax a little more to fix the problem. .
Coming soon to a state near you.
All these people moving out of CA think they’re escaping. Little do they know, everything rolls downhill from here.
Whether it’s denying or allowing something, CA is never first but once it happens here, it’s the tipping point that rolls downhill to the other states.
growing up in San Francisco since 2000 moving out in 2014 the mission does not look or feel the same culture is being pushed out
Who runs the city and the state? The answer and problem all at once.

They're expensive cities because capitalist are greedy and continually raised rents to make more money and lobby for lower wages so people are unable to afford housing. John oliver recently did a piece on mobile homes and how venture capitalists preys on mobile hime community creating homelessness amongst rural elderly people. @@birdsong985
They want to "save everyone". In the process, they wind up destroying everyone.
They stated that in a mission statement? Doesn't the bible teach loving your neighbor? Does that not extend to fellow countrymen?So what's the solution?@@manictiger
@@dougroyce5784
The solution? The west coast needs someone a lot smarter than my 143 I.Q. point ass to figure that out. It's a complete trainwreck.
I have some vague ideas of how to get started, like, lower taxes, try to re-attract the businesses and middle class they scared away, deport illegals, fire 50% of their bloated, worthless government, streamline it for efficiency, not "good feelings"...
But, I know I'm not fully qualified to fix it. I know my knowledge is far from complete. I have some ideas, that's it. Not quite the cohesive answer you wanted, but it's not a cohesive trainwreck.
We need more black folks like you Colin. When a white person says what you say people just disregard. Keep up the good work. You tell the truth.
White people have been saying the same thing for years before Colion did. Im not bashing him at all, i love the dude. But all you did was just show some racism with your comment.
@@shogo359 the point was ppl aren't listening to white folks in SF about issues because they are white and not liberal. He is suggesting if Coloin speaks the truth there he might open some minds. I disagree. Blacks who aren't liberal just get labeled as uncle Toms.
Shogo you’re a whiny bitch. It wasn’t “throwing racism”. They made a point that the media, universities and left militias disregard anything coming from the mouth of a white conservative. If you think that was racist, you’re part of the problem.
Colion, one of your best videos. Thank you. Your voice and presentation can make a difference. Keep it up.
Brilliant Journalism. Coloin asks empowering questions,,, then...wait a minute.. LISTENS TO THE ANSWER AND RESPONDS!!!! Excellent work keep it up
The problem with SF is their district attorney who doesn’t prosecute crimes. Go one county south and you see people punished for breaking the law... homelessness is still an issue, but fractionally so.
Alright go on and shoot someone in broad day light. 😐
Aw3someOpZ You are just full of strawmans today aren't you. I see you on multiple comments saying ridiculous crap.
BumpOnALog the. Don’t say stupid shit like that then. -_-
@@Aw3someOpZ I know you're just here to argue, and that's cool. I get it. But I'll attach an article that speaks to my point. San Francisco doesn't have the manpower to handle most of it's petty crime which translates to drug problems (theft for money for drugs, etc.). Clearly and obviously "shoot someone in broad day light" is going to get investigated and charged. Remember, there are many types of crime. Have a good day dude, I like your videos.
sfist.com/2016/06/14/sfs_dwindling_arrests_and_criminal/
I could be mistaken but for sure 100% San Francisco if not the entire State of California decriminalized theft under $900 if the police arrive and you stole under $900 from a business or a person you get a ticket and a request that you show up to court and you walk away look it up for yourself I'm not joking
This just proves the old saying, "Bureaucracy gives birth to itself, and then demands paid maternity leave" . . .

Thank you. It is depraved, that the city politic, would allow this mess. I lived in the Haight, in 1977. Came from NJ. NOW so many decades later. I visit twice a year. Even driving on the city highway, you can smell feces. It has an open sewer smell all over the city. Dont know whose to blame, here. Just know, the sanitation of a city DOES reflect its basic core values. Versailles was beautiful, but stank.
Los Angeles is getting bad too.

The homeless problem is all the way from San Diego to Vancouver Washington. I drive truck and see it 1st hand. I refuse to go to some places for my own safty
Whenever Comic-Con isn't in town the ENTIRE area around the San Diego convention center is a giant tent city! I was shocked the first time I visited that area outside of Comic Con and saw it for myself. I makes me wonder what is done with those people whenever the convention center needs to be cleared out for a big event....
It was a problem in Vancouver back in the late 70 s. All the drug addicts work their way to the warmer climate. Where I use to live in London Ontario it became a hugh problem when they shut down all the mental hospitals in St. Thomas. Those buildings are cleaned kept warm and empty. But it is considered cruel to keep mentally I'll people in hospitals, heat, regular meals and with trained staff. But it is fine to leave them on the street in minus 40 degree.
Besides bring on the street, the clog up emergency services.
MsBrendalina lol and I thought panorama city has a shit problem with trash and homeless people, still does but dang.
Good weather too is why that won't stop
Thank you for bringing this all to light

To many people makes things expensive, let’s keep them borders open. Culture matters. So glad I left.
This is an awesome piece of journalism. Beautifully presented by the people living in the SF community. Aside from your opening and closing statements you hardly spoke at all giving true voice to the subjects of this piece. Thank you for doing what so many others fail to do nowadays. Keep up the good work.

Who are the people who continue to vote these city officials into office?
Rich folks who know how to vote . Sadly many dont know who they're voting for ,or even to go vote
Wow eye opening episode
Why don't the poor people just leave? There are far, far, far less expensive places. San Francisco is insanely expensive. There is no rule that says they should have to house you. It's just like anything else. If you can't afford the most expensive car, you get a cheaper car. I you can't afford to live in Frisco, you go elsewhere. Everyone points their finger at San Franciso government and they are right, but these same people will vote those same people right back in at the next election.
theloniousMac because the culture in San Francisco coddles and takes care of them
It's not about not being able to afford living in SF - everywhere in the US it still costs you to move or establish yourself somewhere new and without any resources that is literally impossible. While there are absolutely tight connections being homelessness and poverty, it's worth noting the legitimate homelessness is a separate issue from poverty by itself (which is also still big).
Finally it's not all the same people voting for these substandard social programs and/or lack of decent resources for the truly impoverished of us - it's a corrupt in-group of elites who manage the local and regional political influence far more than average citizens, let alone those with nothing to their name who should focus on staying alive/improving their personal life before politics anyway.
Expensive cities need to figure out how to maintain a mix of income levels because they still need people to staff low income jobs. The market will take care of this to a certain extent but bottom line is that someone, somewhere needs to be doing the one thing which LOWERS rents, building housing. Notice though that this is the one thing that we aren't doing and put up massive barriers in the way of doing so. What if Frisco used that cash just to build housing and set the rents at non-profit levels? I guarantee that the low income housing problem would be solved but then landlords and homeowners would lose money. This is why they are saying there is no incentive to solve the problem. They just want to appear like they care.
Correct. People with more money DO have more power. If you cannot afford to raise a family there... MOVE! This seems like common sense.
I rented a two bedroom apartment in Indianapolis for $395.00 a month from a private landlord in an over the garage apartment with a long lease and my SSI check easily covers that and I moved there from Tampa Bay Florida where the same place would cost well over twice that. There are lots of places to live if one looks around but you need to be willing to work or be on some kind of support like me, not be an addict or drunk or be unwilling to assimilate into normal society and fit in well enough. How many of these people will do that?
God bless you brother!! May God help us now, in Jesus name!!🙏🌸❤️
Amen. He's doing God's work.
Thank you! Sincerely thank you for rising it up!

I am a huge fan and currently homeless living in LA but i was homeless in sf and i lost everything i was stabbed 13x heart 2x both lungs liver and kidneys lost everything when i was in hospital now its like a war between the homeless on drugs vs non users
Thank you, man. I really love this video. I'm from SF myself and it makes me mad when I go back to my city. I hate what the government doing in my city. If you not wealthy than they don't care about you at all.
If you want to understand what created that kind of dynamic in the area, you have to look back to the Haight-Ashbury district in the 50's and 60's.
