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)

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
The property owner needs to block off access or they will be sued when something bad happens to the residents as a result of the hazardous activities.

Is it a crime to stay alive? San Francisco is a sanctuary city!
What a shock, the people got exactly what they voted for.
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.
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
I knew we were screwed when the term unhoused became normal its insane
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

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..
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.
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 ???

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?
