- Residents of an apartment complex on Haight Street in San Francisco say their safety is at risk and are seeking the city's assistance after a homeless encampment underneath their building has grown out of control. Lezla Gooden reports. (7/18/23)
Throwing feces is ok but spraying with a hose is a crime. ok makes sense.
he wasn't convicted.
Dude looked like he was being held captive
@@pauls7534 held captive would be if he had actually received jail time. to me it looks as though he is feeling something like humbled, grateful, reflective. in his frustration, he became part of the problem, now he's been given a chance to be a force for something positive. that's transformative. ever had any experience like that?
@thaumatology what? The street squatter prevented customers from coming in his gallery, so in his frustration he sprayed it with water and now has to perform 25 hours of community service.
@@ariloves10 more like people didn't wanna approach. guess what, words still matter, characterizations of situations matter
There's no way in hell this should be accepted by anyone.
SF continues it's decline.
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 all started when Donald Trump was in Office...
Out state is falling apart.
We should start a new political party and name it “just spray them with a hose.” Probably would win many local elections with the name alone.
Democrats state, what do you expect?
So its ok to steal from stores, but not spray a non-functioning member of society with harmless water after being repeatedly told to move away from his business, in which he relies on customers and pays taxes. Smh.
Dude has nothing to apologise for.
He paid for the water too 😢
I think he was doing her favor by hosing her down, she probably needed a shower anyway. I won't be surprised if he got or is getting sued (there is always some homeless activist/lawyer wanting to sue a business owner for such a thing) for causing her "emotional stress" and endangered her live by his actions.
I feel for the gallery owner. Poor guy was so fed up, for good reason. I hope he is able to stay afloat and thrive.
It’s evil. I’m glad he got charged. The U.S. government does not care about people.
Everyone has a breaking point. CA laws need to return to sanity and protect the public from miscreants.
He should have used boiling water. That could work like wonders
@scyfox. Na pepper spray. That or adopt a skunk as an emotional support animal and let it spray the homeless.
thedude5040, actually that's good idea. He should make it look like accident. He was too direct, he should have played dumb.
Homeless people not un-housed.
Mentally ill and unwanted people, not homeless.
Homeless is when you are involuntarily without a home, un-housed is a willing choice to not have a home.
Hobo works too
Urban outdoorsmen
@@PJ-gm1hb 😒 The end result is the same man. You’re acting like these folks have an office job that pays well but they just want to sleep on a park bench instead of their comfy Select Comfort bed.
We are watching a civilization in decline. Welcome to America
I feel the same way
We are also watching a country decline to 3rd world status...America. 😢
@@thisisme3238 All by design. Plenty of people getting rich off of others' misery. Special place in hell for them folks.
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.
@@kaliboyred69and another billion to Ukraine. Our leaders are destroying this country on purpose
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.
I guess thats how Canadians feel by having Americans living underneath their country
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.
@@krto7663 This is a terrible comment. Many Canadians cross the border into America to shop or go to concerts and sports events, and I know of many Canadians who have moved permanently to the U.S. - so how could you make a comment this nasty and this wrong.
This is not just S.F. It is everywhere. We need to address the homeless crisis. This is beyond emergency proportions. Support Invisible People so they can get government to help on a National level. This is not a 'pull yourself up by your own bootstraps' situating...in fact no situation is as that saying is absurd!
@@janinewetzler5037 Many of the homeless people are incompetent people who have NO ability to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. IF they had that kind of mental ability, they would have already done so and avoided being on the streets.
So, a business owner who sprays a homeless person with a hose gets a citation, but someone that robs a store gets off scott free!
This poor guy defended his business property and then got sent to a reeducation camp and criminally chaged for his trouble. This is disgusting.
Only in SF
They are using churches to re-educate, to do their dirty work and these churches are wolves in sheep’s clothing
Drug addicts, criminals & griffters . hum.. I'm mean the " poor helpless innocent homeless ".. are the protected class now.. you hardworking class have no rights..
Recall all these politicians that support this BS.. these "homeless " should be in prison.. oh yeah we don't have prisons anymore.. Newsom closed them down..
Welcome to Bidenomics
For those defending the homeless when it comes to businesses handling this on their own, let these bums park in front of your home. Let them use your bathroom while you're at it.
Damn right. They will not like bumps living infront of their homes or businesses places.
No one is defending it.
Homelessness is a nationwide issue impacting all states and cities.
Wages are low, rent is high. There is no mental health services. There are no mental institutions. There are no rehab facilities.
These things cost money!
@@petrinajc...so do you have homeless living with you 😂
@@petrinajc Out them on an island in the middle of the ocean, when they are rehabilitated, let them swim back to normal society.
The people who vote for the homeless do not have them in their driveway.
It doesn't matter if you say unhoused or homeless... everyone still thinks of them as bums.
Don’t worry everyone! Everything is perfectly fine and under control! Didn’t you hear? They called them “unhoused”, so we’re all good here!
WTF with this “unhoused” crap? I’d rather see these people receive help than calling them “unhoused” as opposed to “homeless.”
Calm down, snowflake
Part of the issue is that they receive TOO MUCH help sometimes, and that attracts even more of them.
It is a liberal thing. When there is a social problem they address by changing words so it does not sound as bad as it is.
you gotta speak the language otherwise you're not in the cult
@@DonaldBiden420 what help??
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.
I feel bad for the art gallery owner, he’s not alone.
I feel bad for the art gallery owner also.
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 .
It's unbelievable what has happened to San Francisco, or CA in general. The social decline is so obvious. So so SAD.
Home of the homeless.....It's what it's known for EVERYWHERE I go...sad
And what do u think it’s because of government benefits government funding programs that’s what did this which makes u poorer
It is, but it also isn't JUST California, It is happening all over the place, you just hear about California more often
@@HicSvntDraconesExactly. Stupid people don’t get that this is happening everywhere.
Citizen “I’m frustrated”
Elected official “but you’ll still vote me right?”
Citizen “yes”
Elected official “then we’re good”
So true!!! No sympathy...they had their chance to get rid of the lunatic Newsome and they failed. They will continue to vote themselves into these situations. They will never learn.
This is just the beginning of the Democrat's plan.. It's going to get worse
@@MBGolferhow do you explain the housing crisis in Republican controlled Florida then?
@humblebeans5511 What housing crisis? They don't have lawlessness there or people stealing, looting or rioting. CA is a complete cesspool and Newsome just says it is propaganda. He is a f---ing moron.
These "unhoused" junkies and crazies who won't and/or can't be treated need to be separated from the general population.
Thank Reagan for that, shutting down all the psychiatric institutions where we used to keep people like this. Typical Californian that Reagan; ruins things for everyone else.
They are vagrants. Just because you are homeless DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!!😡
The poor gallery owner has been essentially sentenced to a reeducation camp for a thorough brainwashing on "social" justice.
It's absolutely disgusting. The city wants the owners to do the city's job. Why the hell are we paying the highest taxes in the nation and getting absolutely nothing in return. HOMELESS. You keep changing the labels but it's still the same thing!!! People are going to start taking matters into their own hands because the city refuses to do their job.
People get what they vote for
The encampment is underneath an apartment building on private property. It isn’t the city’s job. It’s the police department’s job. Why aren’t they enforcing trespassing laws?
@@HenryBloggit It is the city's job. The police department is a department of the city government.
Keep voting democrat
@@brianernst3169keep thinking like that and it’s just going to get worse.
I could tell your states to stop taking more money from the feds than you put in but then most republicans states wouldn’t have people in them because they couldn’t function. So please stfu this isn’t a political issue
Thanks Mayor Breed for your ineptitude to help bring down SF.
She home living up to her name lmao
Excellent. There are two possible outcomes in woke ideology. We all become lgbtqi or homeless fentanyl addicts.
Don’t forget to thank those who voted for her. Americans are homeless and hordes of illegals are getting housing, it outrageous.
Who voted for her ? Did you ?
breeding crime and bums
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
The problem is we wanted to have patience/acceptance/tolerance & empathy for the homeless. We tried to understand that not all of them wanted, for some reason, to live inside. Thing is homeless seem to have no patience/acceptance/tolerance or empathy 4 others. Basically, we're bending to the will of people who may not be in their right minds. We were trying not to be unfair to them... but they have no problem being unfair to the rest of us (I understand they prob r not in their right mind & can't). The solution is to override what they want because the rest of us want 2b happy, in peace, comfortable as well... they cannot manage themselves & we should no longer bend to their will &/or dysfunction.
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.
@@johnogrady2418 that would be my community service is I were him.
The amount of criminality the Bay Area protects and pretty much enforces is beyond insane - this has to be deliberate.
say what?
Agreed.
You’re right it is
Democrats state, what do you expect?
what is enforced criminality?
Good grief. “Unhoused neighbors”…….🙄🤬
This city will never be as it once was, it breaks my heart.
And a big FU to the tech industry in SF you have killed the soul of this city.
And what happens when the homeless fire really gets out of control down there? Can you imagine the stress of living above a homeless camp?
I've seen a lot of fires started by them. And then they just disappear and move to another place.
Just spray it with a hose.
or dog forbid, IN one?
Nobody likes this problem. However I haven't read any concrete solutions. What legal, or illegal, actions should be taken and by whom?
Excellent. There are two possible outcomes in woke ideology. We all become lgbtqi or homeless fentanyl addicts.
Thank you London Breed and the BOS.
London breed thanks you for voting for her.
Why can’t/won’t the police just arrest them for trespassing on private property?
In California, if you steal property less than $990 (IIRC) you won't be charged. I imagine that the trespass laws are equally absurd.
Not a homeless crisis. Is a drug crisis.
This is so wrong! If the property owner was renting that space for money, the city would shut it down so fast. There's no way the property owner should be responsible for handling a CRIMINAL tresspassing matter on his own.
They are responsible for preventing the from returning. The police removed them... but the apartment complex just left that big ole hole in the fence, and they came back..
@@HicSvntDraconesThat's not what was said in the video. The police told them they had to clear out the encampment and then call for help. The owner should not be responsible for clearing an illegal encampment. It doesn't matter if the owner didn't close the hole in the fence.
@@Ay-B They said the police cleared it out once, but they came back. They also said the police will work with them, but the police aren't going to put up new fencing. What do you want, police to stand guard all night? We don't have enough police to deal with crime as is. Lets say I remove my front door, and people keep coming into my home and stealing my stuff. I call the police, they arrest a few people, but then it keeps happening.. don't I have a responsibility to secure my home, like.. replacing the door? Simpling fixing the fence with a stronger fence and maybe a roll of razor wire would have ended this back when they removed everyone the first time. I mean, I don't get how you can be ok with the police being diverted from serious crimes to keep kicking the homeless out of this complex, that makes no sense. Patch the hole.. it is private property, it is the owners responsibility to secure it
I fully agree with you. I do believe that the police have their "hands tied" due to policy that was passed by the city supervisors to where they can't remove people off the property and can only issue citations to trespassers, asking them to leave. 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.
What a shame that city leaders do nothing to help the productive members of society.
Yes the real victims here are people with Mansions.
You are right and these productive members of society who are taxpayers pay the salaries of the elected and appointed.. the taxpayers are the source of their bread and butter.
Yes they do. They keep raising our taxes. They help themselves to our money.
Blame yourself
@@dachochiyo3992 You are probably right. That more isn't done to get rid of these democrats in this state. It took a big step in going total communist. The state is taking over properties to house people. I haven't heard the whole new law but it seems as though they are taking over business'.
Still love the old man spraying the water. If the city wont help him, he has to help himself!
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.
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.
Did you vote for current useless SF politicians?
Why do you all continually vote for corrupt trash democrats?
The neighborhood should blockade traffic until SFPD does its job.
@californiahummus I say all of SF homeowners should stop paying property taxes until the city does something.
@@GKP999yet the majority continue to vote for the democrats every election
Criminals n homeless have more rights than taxpayers, system is so backwards!!! Other countries have it the other way around.
Because other rich countries have a proper social net. America has third world conditions because it has low expectations of its government.
No, only California is this way. If you travel to a different state, you will find a completely different situation--a normal life.
Not in Canada since Trudeau took office.
@@cate9963 Californians travel... trust. I dunno what you mean by normal life? I mean, my life feels normal to me. but isn't that true for each of us. only California is what way?
@@briankroger7879 Canada is fine. Canada will always be fine.
Big part of the problem: calling them "unhoused".
There are only two entities to blame for this continued lack of enforcement of law, @LondonBreed and the Board of Stupidvisors who continue to allow a once beautiful city to crumble along with ignoring their tax paying residents
The audacity!!!!
Imagine the delusion involved to invade others paid spaces and then to threaten them?
There’s a reason those folks are in the situation they’re in.
Honestly!
I have heard a proposal that these homeless people should be given two solutions. Those with mental and drug issues should be placed in an institution and rehab center to help them get sober. They can go to some unused military bases. Those willing to work can be placed in a temporary housing unit and given job trainings and help to find jobs. Why would any government just keep giving people drugs to keep them addicted? There is no common sense in this at all!
Shut up richard
@@cate9963 people like George soros will give these far left candidates a ton of funds if they run with insane political goals that divide the people and help to the ultimate goal of depopulation
Excellent. There are two possible outcomes in woke ideology. We all become lgbtqi or homeless fentanyl addicts.
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.
I'm confused, if they are trespassing on private property (beneath the complex) shouldn't they all be arrested?
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..
Wait, SF really charged the guy for spraying someone with a hose but they don’t charge the countless looters at convenience stores? Absolute insanity.
Omg, the SMELL, the RATS, the CRIMINALS, the DRUGS, the FIRES.. 😖😖😖
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.
its never going to stop growing, our border is wide open letting thousands of homeless people in daily
So the gallery owner was facing jail time, but nothing gets done about the folks who are trespassing? Seems fair. 😕
it's cause he white
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 would even join
I'm on board.
Aww, my heart bleeds. They made rent so unaffordable in SF and other cities.....
It’s crazy how the person who does something about invaders are punished harder than drug dealers.
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.
The sf/ca politicians should be ashamed
Sac is just as bad and I’m from California.
And Newson wants to be President. He has destroyed California and now wants to do it to the United States.
You must understand too much feelings are involved😂
Excellent. There are two possible outcomes in woke ideology. We all become lgbtqi or homeless fentanyl addicts.
It's just as bad in Floriduh
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.
Excellent reporting by Lezla Gooden and her camera operator, who put their safety in jeopardy to get this story. They had no way of knowing what they were walking into when entering the encampment. It's tragic that the building owner(s), manager and tenants have to go through this stressful situation. Hopefully the expensive wall will resolve the issue.
Plot twist SF permit Department didn’t get a kick back, so now Property Owner has to wait 4 more years to build his iron fence lol
That's exactly it lol 😂

I am so fed up with being homeless and abandoned and mistreated by society. My life is way worse than yours, trust me.
We cannot continue to ignore this issue.
Unless they have very severe mental illness, like schizophrenia, you cannot help them. They don't want to work, they don't want help. I know this because I've been one of these people. Even when you offer them food, shelter and work, they will decline it, and take everything you have to give, until there is no more left, and they move on to the next person that they can use
Isn't that criminal trespassing?
Not in SF, CA.
Land is free in the great city of San Francisco. Just put up your tent and stake your claim, the police will come make sure you are okay and they will arrest anyone that tries to remove you
laws are for lawyers
It’s housing. What do they have to lose?

You are a sane person. Unfortunately the people in this area of SF are not.
All talk no brains
“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.
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.
Restorative justice is what they need. Tresspassing=jail
@@duffelbagdrag Good idea. I'm totally for forced labor camps. Teach them that being productive is fun.
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.
WTF does the NAACP have to do with the homeless living UNDER the apartment building ???
I like how they call them "unhoused individuals" to make it sound less harsh
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!
I knew we were screwed when the term unhoused became normal its insane
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.
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
Fam… You’re not really doing a good job of “managing the property” if you’re allowing this to happen 🥴🥴🥴 how do you even let something like this spiral out of control?
The property manager is not the property owner. Do you think it was easy to get the property owners to pay 40 K for a gate?
low IQ -- it's a uniquely AMERICAN thang
And yet…. these frustrated people continue electing the same politicians who allowed this mess in the first place. Stupid is as stupid does.
the time for compassion has come and gone with these homeless individuals - they all need to go. they all need to leave - get out.
Is it a crime to stay alive? San Francisco is a sanctuary city!
hosing down of trespassers is now a criminal action? pathtic
The people that complain about the problems still vote the politicians that cause their problems
Large boulders should be placed under the building. They have barriers around stores to prevent crashes into the store…why not us that here?
Wow. That's a fire hazard and an inviting place for rats to call home.
that gallery owners stupid for his guilty plea, in order to convict him the victim will have to testify in court. most likely will not happen
SF's legal system would've conjured up a way to convict him without the victim's presence or testimony. SF is doomed.
@@jntj3007 did you even listen to the segment or just jump down to prognosticate about the future of SF?
he wasn't convicted.
@@thaumatology He has to do community service.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc sounds like he's pretty thrilled about it, too - (and I quote him) "its ordered as 35 hours, I'm hoping I'll be with this man (referring to doing his community service with Rev. Brown and Third Baptist Church) for 200 hours". so.... ain't nobody being punished. its called redemption through action, knowing better so you can do better, with community support.
That dude deserves a check for kicking out homeless lady. Stainless studs plates are good too but expensive.......
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.
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.
The place was beautiful when I got to go there in the early 2000s. The stunning views and amazing food, great people some of the best night life in music in the country. san francisco used to be a beautiful place.
Restorative Justice? Time to seal that foundation with bricks.
This is what we deserve. The down slide started with Newsom running SF. Shocker the rest of the state is looking like this.
If we vote him in for President, the entire country can look like this. As we’re locked down and he wines and dines.
@@josephdale69 He is just awful. First he wrecked SF and now the whole state and next the whole country?
Actually, it started with Ronald Reagan. But most people are too young or don't remember.
@@truther001 I was there for ronald reagan. the first President I ever voted for. Democrats love to slander his name.It's what I find the most dangerous about these new democrats. 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.
The term Unhoused needs to stop. These are people that are drug addicted and staying in sf, not trying to work, not trying to be more comfortable in a different part of the world in order to be close to their dealers of drugs. These are not "people who lost their housing because rent went up". Media... please start calling it what it is so that it's publically recognized what needs to be addressed instead of it being in some constant loop.
He should have charged the city for cleaning the sidewalk.
The gallery owner got charged and punished for hosing down the homeless, but the carjackers, thieves, robbers, assaulters, drug dealers and other criminals got released without any charges.
Geez....That makes total sense to me. 🙄🙄🙄
Until rents are lowered, wages are higher and new zoning is expanded to allow more affordable apartments nothing will change
That's right vote Republican and all your dreams will come true
I wish we could just do what needs to be done. Arrest them and take all their stuff to the dump.
Arrest them and put them where? Literally all the prisons in the state are full.
@@petrinajc so once the prisons are full all crimes become legal?
By default they’re already in a dump source: resident of the city
The police will arrest people who own the property and side with the criminals. The city is a garbage heap.
@@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...
Nothing they can do about it. The criminals and junkies have all the power.
That sentence is a disgrace. Shame on that court.
Yeah, if the homeless broad stabbed the gallery owner with a dirty needle or slashed him with a broken bottle, she probably would have gotten off Scot-free on the basis of "Self-defense." Notice from her hands that she was black; now tell me THAT didn't play a part in the verdict.
I wonder if people will eventually set up encampments in building lobbies, people’s living rooms, backyards, etc.
Not my living room.
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.
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
@@SteveinSanFrancisco I know
@@SteveinSanFrancisco here's your (one-way) Greyhound ticket, go west, young man. manifest destiny.
I Don't understand why people in the bay are keep voting for the same politicians,policies that have led to all of this!
