The meaninglessness is another symptom among many and of course it’s not only feelings or psychological circumstances that play a role by itself, it can also be financially or things you completely outside of your control but essentially support is needed regardless in every way possible and the primary way to help is with therapy so that the person can find enough strength to work on getting better and survive. I’ve also struggled with suicidality most of my life, my experience is unique to me but you share a lot of common themes and suffering with others who struggle with it as well so you can still know the feeling and mindset of what it’s like. And my friend had those feelings, i was mostly talking about my experience with him. There were things out of his control but his darkest times he would blame it on himself when it wasn’t his fault and he never told me or any other friend because he didn’t want us to worry. In his upbringing it was shameful to talk about mental health so there’s that as well. He had even written in his letter he felt guilty.

"It's working!" "They are already saving lives" - That's debatable. The general gist I get is that suicide is up, and continues to go up. So, they're doing it: They're just not doing it at this bridge.

There's so much I can see wrong with this.. 1. The absurd price tag just to install nets, government inefficiency as usual 2. Someone who intends on suicide is unfortunately just going to find a different location 3. All that money went to this band-aid solution and not towards tackling the root causes of bad mental health 4. You now have a constant reminder of suicide on the side of your city's iconic bridge (although it is a good, ugly reminder of the problem) News stories like this really feel like such a parody of American problem solving

I’ve heard that 99.9 % of people who committed suicide instantly regrets it the moment they do it. Please, no matter how hard life is someday, one day there will be that light at the end of the tunnel and your better days will come. Just hang in there, you only live once make it worth it. ❤

I love that this project was conceptualized, that bridge is an absolute architectural marvel and I always found it unfortunate that it was so heavily associated with the idea of suicide. It's great to hear that the nets have proven effective at deterring people from making the worst decision of their lives as well, great idea all around.

It’s weird that people have been jumping for decades and only now they place nets.

Every first world nation has this problem

this is great, however if someone is suicidal, they need real help. by putting nets it means nobody will die on this bridge, but there are thousand other bridges, and ropes, this realistically won’t stop ANY suicides, if someone was feeling that low, a single bridge having a net wouldn’t stop them from other methods, unfortunate but true

You can't stop people who want their freedom

I love how California will spend 230 million dollars to save 2,000 people over 90 years. The chances that the thing lasts 90 years a slim to none. Why not just give the money to the people that come to jump? 230 million is 115k per person.

I remember reading about this when I was at Fort Point Park in 2021. I am glad that this is helping a lot of people, and thank you for covering the story.

We should allow people to exit if that is what they wish. We didn't decide by ourselves to be born therefore we don't have the right to tell others they shouldn't leave if they can't take the pain anymore. It's selfish.

I thought it was money well spend, and it is. But yea looking at the structure 228 mil seems like a hefty price for this net. I would like to see that contract. I could see a hefty 10 mil just for design and architecture. Maybe 20m. but the materials and labor being 204mil? Really what does this cost per foot? 2 guys for the support poles rivets into bridge, another two rolling out the net and fastening it down. How can this possibly cost more than 50 60 million?

Since the installation of these, suicides on nearby train tracks has increased by 35%.

If they widened the scope of their euthanasia laws they wouldn’t have this problem

The fact of the matter is that most suicides are done on impulse, the doom and pain become so bad for a moment that you lose sight of everything else. This is why the "no going back" methods are often the deadliest.. because you dont get that moment to reflect and put things into perspective.

That’s the crazy thing. $224 million for netting that is pointless. Because they can jump down and the netting can catch them and then they can just jump off of the netting. That and how did they get down from the netting and how does anybody know they are there in order to rescue them? And, by the time rescue crew get to them… They’re probably gonna jump off of the net anyways. I just don’t understand the logic and the money wasted when they have so many homeless that they could take a piece of land or an old mall or factory and turn into housing or simply build tiny houses for them. For $224 million, you figure if each tiny house costs $15,000, which is the size for a nice one at Home Depot… Or you could have one of Elon Musk’s nice ones for around the same price… that’s about 15,000 tiny houses. You could have 15 to 30,000 people in one of those. Unreal. Obviously, somebody is embezzling money somewhere spending that kind of money on this stupid project. I understand that they need to help with suicide… but generally, those committing suicide could either use mental health or financial help. Where the money could be better spent. Especially since they said what? Only 3% of suicidal people jump from that bridge… Seems like a lot of money to spend for 3%. When, you could just make at least 15,000 people happy by building them a tiny house and then they might not be suicidal in the first place.

Towards the end of this summer, I fell into a huge depression. I had been off work for a week from having covid. It was a Monday and I had to go back to work. I was so depressed that day. I was planning on putting in my two weeks notice. Worse than that, I had continuous thoughts of just “ending” everything that morning. I got in the car and noticed I needed gas. I was already running late, I felt tired, I had tears running down my face but I had to stop and get gas. I got to the gas station and I tried to wipe and fix my face before going in to pay. I walk up to enter the store and there was a lady who stopped me and handed me a card. I thanked her but decided to open it once I got back to the pump. It had the verse Jeremiah 29:11 on it that she had personally written in different colored markers. Long story short, Im here today! God sent me an angel that day. I never got a chance to thank her.

The majority of survivors from jumping from the bridge all said as soon as they jumped, they regretted it.

Spending tax dollars on the nets and signs is a poor response to the economic depression which is the cause of what drives the majority of people to consider taking their own lives as a last resort to escape the reality of the increasingly dystopian society being constructed around us. 224 million dollars could go a long way to improving the lives of people who see no other way to deal with the reality of life in this country.

Not fixing the circumstances that lead to suicide will not deter the suicide rate. How bout make mental health care free, housing affordable, discrimination illegal.
