Thousands of poor people walk across our southern border each day. They all have to be housed, when you already have cities full of US citizens that also need to be housed. At this rate, we will never have enough housing for everyone.
Not just SF from Downtown San Diego in the Gaslamp District to Skid Row and to Downtown Sac X street and in Fresno too you’re likely to find many unhoused people. It’s a productivity and mental health issue and plus other factors too.
This is insane. Can you imagine being a working parent with children knowing there are drug addicts injecting drugs and starting fires under the apartment complex?? Terrifying.
People can't even take walks in their own neighborhoods because of the homeless on the streets and their tents blocking access and access to buildings. Where do get the money to buy nice tents? Those aren't cheap. They have more rights to block the streets creating serious safety hazards while also creating serious health hazards with hygiene and human waste. The city leaders and the governor should face serious consequences for their incompetence in problem solving. Budgets cuts don't work and really only create more problems.

I won't be surprised if the city issues the property owner a citation and fines for the trash left behind and give a certain amount of time to clean it up or if not done within that time face additional fines. As for the iron fence they want to erect around the building, they'll have to get a permit from the city and the overall costs will be passed on to the tenants living in that building thus raising the already astronomical rent. The people of S.F voted for that sh*t.

You shouldn’t call them unhoused individuals. Clearly they have a house; they are basement trolls. I’m surprised the apartment owners were allowed to remove the encampment without going through an eviction process.
First, let's stop using pandering terms like "unhoused." Then maybe this can begin to be faced directly.That man with the hose, for instance, was goaded into that out of frustration, and yet he has to do community service.

@@kikeruiz539 You're right, Kike, it IS happening in Los Angeles. Before I moved to New York City two years ago, I worked in Downtown Los Angeles in a building right across the street from Los Angeles City Hall. There were tents and homeless people all over the place - a person could barely walk by on the sidewalk on the way to lunch. Driving to and from work, same thing, homeless tents all over the place. You don't see this in the beautiful Southern California cities of Pasadena or Beverly Hills -- they simply won't allow it.
So I do understand the inconvenience that comes with poor people existing . But when you start saying things like I feel bad for the art owner , without saying you feel for the literal most helpless people as well…you need to realize your priorities / morality has been fucked up .

“Unhoused neighbor”. Wow. What a lovely euphemism for HOMELESS. Start calling it for what it is - the word homeless is more accurate and straight forward. This a fundamental problem with your guys.
The police should simply arrest them for TRESPASSING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY! If the preacher is serious about helping he can bail them out and put them up in his home. PS Neither he nor the newscaster is suffering discrimination, etc. They look like they are doing GREAT!
Did you listen to the words they are saying? You didnt listen to him did you. Watch it again and listen to what the preacher is saying. The problem with the world is people that dont listen to others and make snap judgements

I used to donate a lot to the homeless every month till I was robbed by one( not a good experience and still have PTSD)I wish them all well just not around me or my family.
The feds should investigate SF's local politicians. There has to be an incentive for all this corruption. I'll bet the supervisors are the ones enabling the drug deals because they're getting a cut of the profits. Why on earth would any politician stand for this if they're not getting something in return?
On a related note, we were watching the historic heat wave on TV. I told my wife, "Someone has invented a weather machine!! And sold it to Lennox Air Conditioning Company..."
The voters should do there own investigation prior to voting. But they will only vote left and complain about the people they choose. Its f ing insanity on a massive level.
I understand and sympathize with those without housing, but why do the majority of homeless absolutely destroy whatever area they’re currently living? Trash, vandalism, destruction of property, destruction of plant life. They can’t just be in a place and actually care about the cleanliness of it? A good percentage are drug addicts, so that probably has a lot to do with it, but I just find the destruction these people leave behind intolerable

there is but there's only so much you can do. the government doesn't want to spend money on putting the more violent and mentally ill "unhoused" individuals into institutions where they really need to be, and the media conflates people who are struggling to afford the outrageous rents but are otherwise working and not bothering anyone, with the same people who are attacking bystanders and leaving their biohazard waste all over the streets. it isn't the same thing but they're treating them as such so the problem festers and then boils over as it is now. and now everyone suffers because no one wants to do anything about the problem because they get screamed at by activists for taking these people off the street and not allowing them to terrorize normal citizens, or the conservatives blow up because their 10 cents is being used to get them help. it's a no win situation, damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Charge government leaders with the DA instead of owners spraying people with a hose and watch how fast things get fixed. Who are we really holding accountable here?
Those fires under the building can cause harm to the homeless making the fires AND the residents by burning into gas lines above or below ground, causing a horrific explosion!
Most of them are sent here from other states... My uncle was homeless and he got sent to SF three times... Oklahoma police and in some other officials in kansas and somebody in arizona, they all put him on a bus to san francisco
As a European I'm confused here. I don't know of a single European country where someone can just set up camp anywhere he wants and live there. If they're foreigners they're deported and if they're nationals they're sent to a homeless shelter. As a young guy I once spent a night on the beach in Spain, thought it a good way to save hotel money, and was woken up by the police. They told me if they catch me again I'll be deported.

So many regulations and they come up with lots of useless agencies and more worthless bureaucracy. You really want to blame reagan for the problems going on in SF? All the bad policies of the democrats going back to when Newsom was the mayor there and they continued the losing policies and now look at SF. The democrats never take any responsibility for any of their own policies. They double down on stupid and blame Reagan. Very humorous. Jimmy Carter was a nice man but a bad President.
@@truther001 My gosh. Look how it’s changed in the past 5 years. Or even 10 years. Ronald Reagan left office 40 years ago. San Francisco was still nice even 20 years ago.
I'm all about helping the homeless, but every major city seems to be playing the game of "kick them out, use tax dollars to throw away all their garbage, wait until they setup camp in a new place, rinse repeat If I was the building owner I would fix the fence, rope it off for "construction", then setup a fire sprinkler system down there with flashing lights hooked up to motion detectors. Make it so miserable nobody will want to live down there.

Hugs Collier - I have so much compassion for what you have been through and yet you still show up as an exceptional citizen, neighbor and all around cool guy.
So why don't they put a big steel gate around the whole area so no one can go back in? There was no one there, so just claim someone threw garbage on their property and call a hauling company to take it all away. A LOT of SF homes have iron gates in the entry way to their homes precisely to keep people out of them.
By the way, you don't call 911 and ask for help. You do it yourself if you know what I mean. And I don't mean spraying people with water hoses. I mean, a lot worse, we've done it in New York, too, and it the job gets done.

Tent camps on wooden platforms Provide food, water, medical, social services Problem: There has to be rules: no drugs, fire, behavior: Nobody will support this; No rules allowed The problem is regular law abiding citizens don't have any rights
There is no "arresting" people in liberal infested areas. There is no more jail, no bail, no consequences for crime anymore. Everyone needs to stop voting Democrat..
The whole entire problem was homelessness, is right in the first sentence that woman the newscaster has said. “Compassionate” seriously when are people going to stop having compassion for drug addicts? I mean Jesus your people if you have compassion for people like that, you are part of the problem.
Compassion itself isn't the problem, it's allowing compassion to turn you into a doormat. Realistic compassion is setting hard boundaries and not allowing drug addicts and those with mental illnesses to dictate life for everyone around them. Give them a path out, if they won't take it then they deal with the consequences.

I won't be surprised if the city issues the property owner a citation and fines for the trash left behind and give a certain amount of time to clean it up or if not done within that time face additional fines. As for the iron fence they want to erect around the building, they'll have to get a permit from the city and the overall costs will be passed on to the tenants living in that building thus raising the already astronomical rent. The people of S.F voted for that sh*t.
@@Ay-BThe police should trespass anyone out of the homeless encampment, but the cleaning responsibility is with the property owner.
San Franciscans, how are you voting for the same people again and again. When will your eyes open?
SF must abolish Ranked Choice Voting.
😂 Will anybody eyes open for knowing that? The system is rigged and they choose who they want nowadays.
@@jntj3007 you forget renters vote and vote against property owners...at the same time this country wasnt founded on non property owners able to vote on taxes, issues affecting property owners, not saying a class structure but relevance to consequences....and i have been homeless, and property owner currently..i speak from both worlds
The people born and raised in SF are not voting for this dumb shit. We all left already.
The SFPD refuses to do their job, and there is no way to hold them accountable, since they aren't elected.
You shouldn’t call them unhoused individuals. Clearly they have a house; they are basement trolls. I’m surprised the apartment owners were allowed to remove the encampment without going through an eviction process.
Still love the old man spraying the water. If the city wont help him, he has to help himself!
First, let's stop using pandering terms like "unhoused." Then maybe this can begin to be faced directly.That man with the hose, for instance, was goaded into that out of frustration, and yet he has to do community service. I'm saying that regular citizens will eventually get so fed up that they start resorting to vigilantism because there seems to be no other solution. I'm actually rather surprised that hasn't started happening yet.
Vigilantism is long overdue in SF.
Cannot stand that "unhoused" terminology. There is nothing wrong with the word homeless. Why invent another word?
The proper description is drug addicts!!
KPIX is terrified of being canceled, so their producers insist on using woke PC terminology.

The time for compassion has past. Sometimes you need to show a firm hand and discipline with those who wish to or cannot function within the bounds of society . It’s like giving teenagers a pass every time they do something wrong, they will take advantage of the situation and recognize you are operating from a position of weakness.
Well said!!!
I think you meant “wokeness” - not “weakness”. the ultimate buzz word liberals love to spout.
LOL easy for you to say do you know what the physical withdrawls are on these drugs that they are 50% more dangerous and toxic than ever. Why do you think we have this problem ? its called Cartels and the Homeless Industrial complex not some mentally ill trauma suffering addict on the streets. Get tough on the real criminals who you pay your taxes too.
So what should we do? Kill them because they can’t get a house? You understand most people are one big financial issue away from being homeless? Not everyone is a drug addicted criminal smh.
Stop voting for Democrats. This is the party that has forced this upon us.
Not a homeless crisis. Is a drug crisis.
I feel bad for the art gallery owner, he’s not alone.

The same thing is happening in Los Angeles
@@kikeruiz539 You're right, Kike, it IS happening in Los Angeles. Before I moved to New York City two years ago, I worked in Downtown Los Angeles in a building right across the street from Los Angeles City Hall. There were tents and homeless people all over the place - a person could barely walk by on the sidewalk on the way to lunch. Driving to and from work, same thing, homeless tents all over the place. You don't see this in the beautiful Southern California cities of Pasadena or Beverly Hills -- they simply won't allow it.
@@kikeruiz539progressives, liberals 💩💩💩
So I do understand the inconvenience that comes with poor people existing . But when you start saying things like I feel bad for the art owner , without saying you feel for the literal most helpless people as well…you need to realize your priorities / morality has been fucked up .
I live across the parking lot from this building.. I have called 311 many times. The police came out once. They told me there is nothing they can do.
The city officials, homeless advocates and the system have failed eveyone.

It doesn't matter if you say unhoused or homeless... everyone still thinks of them as bums.
The police should simply arrest them for TRESPASSING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY! If the preacher is serious about helping he can bail them out and put them up in his home. PS Neither he nor the newscaster is suffering discrimination, etc. They look like they are doing GREAT!
Did you listen to the words they are saying? You didnt listen to him did you. Watch it again and listen to what the preacher is saying. The problem with the world is people that dont listen to others and make snap judgements
Everybody is TOO BUSY thinking about the people PAYING TO LIVE THERE and their immediate SAFETY!!!
We were TOO BUSY listening to the property manager not getting police support and enforcement the tenants and ultimately owner are TOO BUSY PAYING FOR!
We were also TOO BUSY worrying about the reporter Lezla Gooden (a respectable black lady) exposing herself to human excrement, possible danger from an “unhoused neighbor” and walking over needles she could get stuck with!!
The police can't arrest them because the jails are overcrowded.
@@user-zq4fv8sj6v as much as you may be right, when they signed the lease it involved safety in their homes. I feel for the homeless but it is out of hand. Better to see a judge and break the lease so they can move out but then who suffers, the property owners face depreciation In the property. I used to donate a lot to the homeless every month till I was robbed by one( not a good experience and still have PTSD)I wish them all well just not around me or my family.
Problem is the DA declines to prosecute. Even if thy did prosecute the consequences are nothing.
The feds should investigate SF's local politicians. There has to be an incentive for all this corruption. I'll bet the supervisors are the ones enabling the drug deals because they're getting a cut of the profits. Why on earth would any politician stand for this if they're not getting something in return?
you're hired. for you - District 5. do not pass go. do not collect $200
That is correct.
On a related note, we were watching the historic heat wave on TV. I told my wife, "Someone has invented a weather machine!! And sold it to Lennox Air Conditioning Company..."
A bunch of compassionate people with no logic. Their plan is to hope. Essentially no plan is a plan for failure.
The voters should do there own investigation prior to voting. But they will only vote left and complain about the people they choose. Its f ing insanity on a massive level.
Thank you London Breed and the BOS.
London breed thanks you for voting for her.
They are vagrants. Just because you are homeless DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!!😡
I understand and sympathize with those without housing, but why do the majority of homeless absolutely destroy whatever area they’re currently living? Trash, vandalism, destruction of property, destruction of plant life. They can’t just be in a place and actually care about the cleanliness of it? A good percentage are drug addicts, so that probably has a lot to do with it, but I just find the destruction these people leave behind intolerable

Fire under the concrete slab is no joke. The carbon and heat can alter the chemistry of the concrete and change its structural characteristics. Even though the fire won’t get hot enough to melt anything, it can still cause significant damage.

Arrest them and put them where? Literally all the prisons in the state are full.

@@petrinajc newnothing emptied the prisons and wants to shut them down..do some research before posting, hence the high crime rate as he released criminals...
That is totally unacceptable. Is there no governance or law enforcement left in SF?
there is but there's only so much you can do. the government doesn't want to spend money on putting the more violent and mentally ill "unhoused" individuals into institutions where they really need to be, and the media conflates people who are struggling to afford the outrageous rents but are otherwise working and not bothering anyone, with the same people who are attacking bystanders and leaving their biohazard waste all over the streets. it isn't the same thing but they're treating them as such so the problem festers and then boils over as it is now. and now everyone suffers because no one wants to do anything about the problem because they get screamed at by activists for taking these people off the street and not allowing them to terrorize normal citizens, or the conservatives blow up because their 10 cents is being used to get them help. it's a no win situation, damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Nope
Ahhhhhh....NOPE 😂😂
I'd contribute to fund a vigilante group to do whatever needs to be done by whatever methods.

I'm on board.
Charge government leaders with the DA instead of owners spraying people with a hose and watch how fast things get fixed. Who are we really holding accountable here?
Big part of the problem: calling them "unhoused".
Those fires under the building can cause harm to the homeless making the fires AND the residents by burning into gas lines above or below ground, causing a horrific explosion!
It’s sickening!!!
People come from all over to just live in our streets here in SF.
Bringing down our quality of life. Because theirs is so poor.

As a young guy I once spent a night on the beach in Spain, thought it a good way to save hotel money, and was woken up by the police. They told me if they catch me again I'll be deported.

Not in SF, CA.

The explosion of the homeless just happened in the last few years. In California the democrats have raised the taxes on everyone. So many regulations and they come up with lots of useless agencies and more worthless bureaucracy. You really want to blame reagan for the problems going on in SF? All the bad policies of the democrats going back to when Newsom was the mayor there and they continued the losing policies and now look at SF. The democrats never take any responsibility for any of their own policies. They double down on stupid and blame Reagan. Very humorous. Jimmy Carter was a nice man but a bad President.
@@truther001 My gosh. Look how it’s changed in the past 5 years. Or even 10 years. Ronald Reagan left office 40 years ago. San Francisco was still nice even 20 years ago.

Restorative Justice? Time to seal that foundation with bricks.
I'm all about helping the homeless, but every major city seems to be playing the game of "kick them out, use tax dollars to throw away all their garbage, wait until they setup camp in a new place, rinse repeat If I was the building owner I would fix the fence, rope it off for "construction", then setup a fire sprinkler system down there with flashing lights hooked up to motion detectors. Make it so miserable nobody will want to live down there.
Wow. That's a fire hazard and an inviting place for rats to call home.
This is disgusting a bunch of people pissing and shitting under your house smoking things lighting fires cooking things who knows under their apartments that is just crazy that is a serious hazard
Hugs Collier - I have so much compassion for what you have been through and yet you still show up as an exceptional citizen, neighbor and all around cool guy.
Large boulders should be placed under the building. They have barriers around stores to prevent crashes into the store…why not us that here?
I knew we were screwed when the term unhoused became normal its insane
If there's no reason for that space to be empty, then can that space be filled with dirt? Take away the space where they can stay.
They maybe need to have access to exposed plumbing . Remember the buildings were not designed to keep homeless population out
@@neekeyzonked5574they were designed when trespassing was a law that was enforced 😢
Or concrete. Or seawater. After the Big Quake, of course.
So why don't they put a big steel gate around the whole area so no one can go back in? There was no one there, so just claim someone threw garbage on their property and call a hauling company to take it all away. A LOT of SF homes have iron gates in the entry way to their homes precisely to keep people out of them.

Stop giving out free money to the homeless, they will leave.
It’s crazy how the person who does something about invaders are punished harder than drug dealers.
The whole entire problem was homelessness, is right in the first sentence that woman the newscaster has said. “Compassionate” seriously when are people going to stop having compassion for drug addicts? I mean Jesus your people if you have compassion for people like that, you are part of the problem.
Compassion itself isn't the problem, it's allowing compassion to turn you into a doormat. Realistic compassion is setting hard boundaries and not allowing drug addicts and those with mental illnesses to dictate life for everyone around them. Give them a path out, if they won't take it then they deal with the consequences.
