The simplest truth is that there's no where else for money to grow, but in real estate. In places like SF, NYC, Chicago, etc., the cost of living has skyrocketed while the perks of actually living in these places are going away. These places are now nothing but ways to invest a few dollars, let it sit for a while, and cash out. The system has become designed to further this degradation. Only trouble is, the 'cashing out' part is quickly going away. The avarice and greed have led to the construction of a seemingly unstoppable political machine that has the Cali cities and states locked into a nosedive. They don't have the will or the guts to positively change things for the better. I fully expect Cali and her cities will be looking for federal dollars, soon enough.

These two researchers from UCSF is the problem. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on studying the homeless with nothing to report. How can structural racism create homelessness when the City is helping big tech companies develop its downtown to attract overpaid tech workers to come here to displace and drive up the cost of real estate and tell us we are too selfish not to allow the city to ruin our neighborhoods. The greedy politicians are in bed with the developers to massively develop the city with no regard to our quality of life. There is just no more land to develop without sacrificing our quality of life but the politicians just don't get it. From another study, 75 % of the homeless in San Francisco are from outside of the city, they are mostly drug addicts and/or mental which the city pander and coddle with millions of our tax dollars and that's why this problem only gets worse.

My first trip to San Francisco was in 1980 after I had graduated and decided to fly to NYC from London and travelled overland to San Francisco before flying back to Singapore. I still recalled it was a pleasant and beautiful city. My next trip was 5 years later when I flew into San Francisco and spent a few days there before flying to Phoenix to start my MBA program. Over the years, I have been to San Francisco many times as I preferred to fly into SFO instead of LAX. However, over the years the city has deteriorated, especially the areas around Union Square. Vagrants, homeless and beggars seemed to gather in these areas. The places smelled of urine and shxt. Once I accidentally walked into the Tenderloin District and I was shocked to see needles and syringes on the streets. There were drug addicts everywhere. It is likely both my wife and I will give San Francisco a miss should we travel to the U.S. again. It is a pity the city has deteriorated so much.

Short answer: not likely. Long answer: they need to weed out the corrupted politicians that are only banking the funding for homelessness that in reality is going through shell companies and never ever ending up helping the cause. It's not just simply helping the homeless currently roaming in the area, but also fixing the economic structure presently in place as rent prices and overall cost of living remain insane. I'm no expert so I cannot say how plausible this is to fix everything, what I do know is that they certainly can't keep this up and expect it to even out or get better.

The other is that theres so many people from the country and world that want to live in CA just on the hype alone. #1. Midwesterners and Southerns. A lot of LA SF transplants are from the Midwest, they have all the resources to buy homes in the midwest and plenty of good paying jobs , but they want to come to Cali for : ' i can't stand chicago, i hate the snow, that's why i moved to CA, the weather here is much better, i'm never going back'. #2. A lot of CHINESE and HINDI are invading CA, each of those countries has 1.2 Billion each, if 1% of their country decided to move here thats adding 12 million. The US only has around 600M. At some point this whole good somaritan acts has to take into account the real population issue. #3. THe rest of the world; corrupt politciains from around the world and kids want to live in CALI too. Another thing is that CA is not that big, it looks huge on a regular map but most of it dominated by unhinhabitable mountain ranges and moost of SC is basically a desert. 25% of what yyou see on a map of CA is what can only be habitable, which is why the COAST has the most popultaion. So CA is at MAX CAPACITY,you can't really expand anymore on the coast. Only in the Valley you can build more housing.However most of that land is owned by the AGG industry , CA is not losing it's main cash crops to house more implants because it will never stop. A good way for CA to stop the homeless issue IS to ID check the homeless at the shelters, if most of them are out of state, CA needs to bill those states that are sending their homeless to CA.

As a child of a formerly homeless person who lives in San Fran, the notion that substance abuse is not 98% of the homeless problem is an absolute joke. If people are poor and can't afford to live in the city, they move to the suburbs. It happens every day. Very few people go from a stable home to the streets in a single week.

I watched this because of the title and because I lived in SF for 20 years (leaving in '94). The title question was never answered. The "solutions" proffered were non-solutions and the feel good bromides about what could happen were useless (mobile dentists???). Meanwhile the homeless problems and other crime problems have grown to epic proportions, the public schools are still horrible and unsafe and you can't afford a house, any house, unless you have a trust fund or bought apple stock a long time ago. Can SF be saved? Yes. Will it? The odds are not good.

"In homelessness we've had remarkable success using evidence based policies in permanent supportive housing to really decrease homeless in people with significant disabilities." Meanwhile homelessness has skyrocketed every year.

Fortune magazine has been trash since the early 1960s

I spent many years of my childhood regularly visiting SF, every other weekend from the early 1980's to the late 1990's, and off & on a lot thereafter. Over the last 20 years, I have seen the soul of SF be sucked out of the city. San Francisco and Amsterdam are two of the most beautiful cities on Earth, when you wake up there, you know you are there. San Francisco has let itself go like Thor in Endgame. When I go to North Beach now, the majority of the floor-level commercial space is boarded up, not because of an economic collapse like one of the rust-belt cities, but because of its own greed and price gouging. Property owning San Franciscans have told me that they don't care to see extra bathrooms available throughout the central city, which means that they are fine with their streets covered in human feces. At this point in the city's history, do its residents even care enough to see their city cleaner and nicer? Or are they OK with it being a model of someone's California nightmare. If you wanna nightmare, do like Tesla and Oracle and move Texas, where third world values have led to a little cold wreaking havoc on the state. The tech industry is an industry of garbage and e-waste that is actually worth pennies on the dollar, has stolen and diminished the human experience, increased stupidity and impotence, and has turned America's children into Patreon whores. California is the best state in America, and was before tech, and will continue to be after. Until then, build massive amounts of surplus housing as to even out the market so people can actually live inside, unless you're a filthy developer whose trying to rape our state, then jump off the bridge or GTFO! But if San Franciscans are fine living in a city where the streets smell like a rectum and the biggest building looks like an uncircumcised shlong (this would appeal to SF's most famous demographic) and is dominated by homeless people, one must wonder where their sense of taste and sophistication has gone.

Worked in healthcare with homeless patients for the last few years and I’ll say you can give people money, shelter and food but what do you actually change? Is their mentality different, behavior different? are they going to be more self reliant and independent? The able body homeless at least need a life coach not an underpaid social worker who had to operate within strict laws. It takes extreme examples to shake people out of apathy.

I see so few comments along these lines. This may have been a "broken record" conversation point 20 years ago, but people are now forgetting--whether organized through official agency or not, America tore down its low-income urban neighborhoods and downtown business districts in a bout of urban renewal. Disorganized or decentralized urban renewal was still pushing through smaller cities into the 21st century. The first room off the street has always been low-rent transient housing--residential hotels; weekly apts and rooms; cheap apts; etc. For families with children, it was often cheap month-to-month rented apts with no questions asked about income. For all of the token contemporary non-profit housing destined for voluntary management, the capacity does not compare to demolished private housing options. Add in all of the high-rise public housing (municipal housing authority projects) closed or demolished in the past 30 years. Life in those high-rises was isolated and hellish for many, but contemporary people forget the high occupancy capacities of those buildings. Was there no way we could have aided a high quality of life in those buildings? (similar buildings remain occupied and generally well-received throughout urban Europe). I am an advocate of transition from low-end, low-quality of life housing to dignified housing. The problem is, we tore everything down before socially evolving into whatever comes next. We handed the reins of our society right back into the hands of the rich.

My family came to San Francisco in 1860. They came from New York after sailing around the Cape Horn. Everyone I know has moved away except for one that lives in Twin Peaks in a run down house worth $1.5 million. I left in 1991 and never looked back. I thought I had left my heart in San Francisco but it seems not. I haven't been there in over 16 years. It was quickly going south at that time. I never thought I'd leave San Francisco but I did.

Cull Game Development we been known that for years. Rent has been going up every year since the 80s. Of course it’s due to gentrification and influx of tech workers coming into the city. That had been a fact, so they really didn’t uncover anything new. They didn’t propose a plan, they had no concrete ideas on how to combat homelessness.

I’ve been staying in San Francisco since I was a kid and had many fond memories there. Now I’ve gone on my own a couple times a year for the past nine years and every time I’ve either gotten robbed, almost mugged by a crack head on the street or had our car broken into multiple times... The city leaders have provided safe places in recent years for people to shoot up drugs along with millions of free needles to use with it. It’s gone from my happy land playground to a total nightmare. You can still get a ticket for an open beer can on the street or jaywalking while someone shoots up heroin or poops next to you. How about lowering the minimum wage from its current $15 to encourage more all entry level jobs, lowering taxes on small businesses and middle class, creating affordable housing, stopping the flow of hard drugs and fostering mental health services and shelters for those who absolutely can’t get on their feet? Your politicians are corrupt and seem to want it to turn hell so they can feel more powerful or have their elitist little class and huge homeless class with little in between. Get those political criminals out of there!!! I miss the jewel of California this place once was!!! I love this city so much and miss it for what it was!!!

The industry hire contractors not full time employees. Dropping wages n benefits of workers (contractors), because companies compete for lower bids to take jobs. Lowering chances of buying a home. 100k is considered low income, go research it. people from other states taking jobs cuz of high wages, pushing out bottom feeders.

The problem with the Left's ideas (while often coming from the heart) is that it’s all academic. Sure socialism as an intellectual principle has good qualities but in reality, that system has killed millions in the last 100 years as well as always fails. Sure, handing out needles to cut down on shared usage sounds like a good idea but now there’s millions of metal needles lying around and even more people shouting up. It’s almost like when you put a system in place or make something easy for people more people do it. Sure, welfare as a stepping stone makes sense, but as a system, it’s become a habit or lifestyle. Take most of these progressive ideas into the real world and they will fail and be abused. The world is not a utopia and doesn’t need utopian ideas. It needs pragmatism and self-accountability values in order to move forward. Definitely not folks that want an abusable system to take care of them.

Feinstein kicking the Navy out did not help. Of course it is all radioactive Superfund Sites now.

My friend went to San Francisco last year while passing through on a road trip. It was just her (age 15) and her mom. Their car rental got broken into while they were in a park and many of her things were stolen. We live in a beach city in LA county so it wasn’t detrimental, but she needed her device for school. The worst part is, the police didn’t do anything about it while they were asking for help.

I lived in SF for 25 years. The positive quotes you hear are describing the San Francisco of 15 years ago or more. Politicians have no political interest in doing what it takes to change the problems. The Coronavirus may end up doing it for them, but there are going to be signifiant problems as tax revenues plummet.

I live a few hours from SF and I used to love to go to the Museums and check out new restaurants but the stench of urine, the homelessness and gross trash EVERYWHERE left me no desire to ever go back.

I believe we are in agreement that these are just self proclaim ideological labels...nothing more. Proof is in the pudding. My remarks were to suggest to others to look beneath the labels, the spin, the glitter and sniff the meat to see if it stinks or not! Obviously, your eyes are "well" opened and labels, slogans, brands monograms, banners, flags and such have no affect on how you perceive and analyze. Many don't have that ability today! They see a protest and figure, it's a right to protest and protestors always protest for something good (or why protest), so I'll go and protest with them. I can then take selfies and post them on my facebook page and people will know, I'm a good and conscientious person! I stand for change and acceptance and intolerance and all sorts of nice high sounding things!

My doctor says there's no "real" medicine that can stop/slow the progression of it, but suggest taking up art or learning a new language has proven to slow the progress of dementia/Alzheimer's. So I remembered in high school (late '70s) we had a German school bus driver (Ted) that all the kids loved. He even served with Rommel in Africa. After school all the kids would run to get on his bus before it would get filled up. I thought I could learn German out of my friendship with Ted and help myself at the same time! Wasn't prepared for the endless syntax and declensions, particles (my goodness why is that word even there, it DOESN'T DO ANYTHING, THE SENTENCE WORKS FINE WITHOUT IT!!! I'll thought the ts (zehn, zu, zeigen) was going to be hard and it ended up not being a problem at all if I don't think about it. The "pf" - das Pferd same thing, don't think about it and it comes out fair enough. Hate the ö and ü (stupid sound). Separable prefix like, abfahren, mitkommen, my goodness have to remember at the END of the Sentence to Drop the pre-fix It In...really at the end of the sentence! It better do something for my memory!!! But I think of it as a puzzle to be solved and really enjoy it...sometimes!

For 30 million dollars you could have renovated one of the many abandoned buildings, putting in showers, bathrooms and beds for people to stay in while using some of the spaces for education rooms. You could have volunteers help with drug and alcohol issues, maybe even have a nurses office. While it may not solve the problem, it is a step and would be a better way to spend the 30 million. It might help 20 people a year, which is better than none.

The only thing that doesn't add up to me is the that in times past, when there wasn't affordability/opportunity in a given region, people migrated and moved on to another. My home town is in the Midwest. Low umemployment, incredibly affordable, many low-ish skill jobs available. Why don't these people move out of SF? To me, it suggests that the permissiveness of homelessness in SF is such that people would rather live in a state of purgatory on the street than be forced to look for opportunity elsewhere.

We did move a few years ago for better opportunity. This video does not by any means represent the whole city. I dont know what happened to this area of it but Im certain alot of these people are mentally ill and more prone to drug use. This country provides little help for the mentally ill/addicts. Of course there is more opportunity in the midwest, there's less people. If these homeless people have no money how can they even leave town? I dont see any answer for this sad mess.
