You Southern folk have ruined SF.

Why should we dignify them by calling them "homeless"? A REAL homeless person has lost their residence in a fire, or flood etc. and does appreciate any help to get them started over again. These street people are just bums!

Very aggressive panhandlers/homeless there and the local populace seems to accept that this is normal. I almost created statistics when I was there a few years ago with my wife. Nothing like riding the cable car (tourist trap) and when it reaches its destination you are surrounded by these people. Oh, and I wore an NRA shirt on Haight Ashbury...man. Jerry's fucking dead. |
