They all are on drugs. Over 90% of them are desperately addicted to fentanyl and meth and some of them maybe alcohol. If you come to San Francisco as an addict you’ve given up, you are in the late stages and you don’t care if you live or die anymore

Shit’s really going down in the Bay Area! A San Frisco Bums series episode:
ABC7 local news full article:
‘SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- RV residents along San Francisco's Winston Drive officially moved to avoid getting ticketed by the city.
ABC7 News reporter Luz Pena went to the area to speak to residents who say they are being displaced without any housing aid.
Instead of moving their vehicles every four hours to avoid getting ticketed, we found many of them spread out throughout the area on Lake Merced Boulevard and Skyline Boulevard. One of the RV residents is Angela, a mother of two.
"We haven't gotten tickets, because we moved before they started ticketing," Angela said.
Angela didn't want to show her face, because she works at a nearby school. She said her husband bought the RV three years ago to go camping as a family, but after losing his job during the pandemic, they moved out of their apartment in Daly City and the RV became their home. Recently, Angela said the city offered them shelter.
"The person from the city who came here to speak to us did ask me, 'What is holding you back? Why are you here in San Francisco?' The reason why I'm here, I told her, is because my daughters go to school in San Francisco," Angela said.
Angela said many who live in the area inside RVs were given three choices: a shelter, one month of free rent from the city, and then they would be responsible of the rest, and a third option -- to leave San Francisco.
"The city worker who came here said that if I have a family somewhere else in another state, that the city would pay for us to fly there and leave," said Angela, "I don't have family members anywhere else, and I wouldn't want to do that."
Several RVs down from Angela, we met Carla Hernandez. She moved from Winston Drive to the surrounding area with her husband and two daughters.
"Only my husband is working right now, and we just don't have money to be able to move somewhere else," Hernandez said.
The Coalition on Homelessness said the city had enough time to find solutions for these families.
"It's been four years of Winston Drive residents. They are vehicularly housed families there who have trusted the city to find it a save parking site, and there has been a lack of political will," said Luke Illa with the Coalition on Homelessness.
In a statement SFMTA:
"The MTA Board approved 4-hour daytime time limits in September 2023 to support parking availability for SF State and Lowell High School faculty, staff, and students. City streets are public space -- where the curb is designed for public parking use, and we need to manage the sharing of that curb-space. We have delayed enforcement for almost a year. HSH believes they have reached 100% of inhabited vehicles in the area, but please connect with them on outreach specifics."
As more RVs continue to park on Skyline Boulevard by a community center, residents are beginning to notice and there are mixed reactions.
"It is frightening to have all these people parked here," said Joane Landon.
"I'm very sympathetic to these people," said Cher Delamere.
San Francisco officials have said they have looked into a safe parking lot for these RV residents, but a plan has not been approved.’

KTVU local news full article:
SAN FRANCISCO - In an executive directive Thursday, Mayor Breed began pushing city departments and services to offer relocation assistance to out-of-town homeless residents, before offering any other services, including housing and shelter.
This is because recent numbers from the Point in Time survey show 40% of homeless people in the city are not from San Francisco. That’s an increase from 28% in 2019.
Breed's approach is not new.
The city has been providing relocation services since 2005 under a different program name.
But Breed expanded the "Journey Home" program in recent years, including additional return travel expenses – like giving unhoused non-residents a bus ticket back to their home city – and setting a goal of sending 1,000 people a year back to their home city.
Some homeless people said going back home isn't a viable option for them.
Ursula Fallis, who is in temporary housing, said she would not accept a train ticket back to her hometown of Covelo in Mendocino County.
"There’s not many options out there," she told KTVU. "This is the main place that everybody goes for opportunity. I’d have to have it organized and situated because I don’t want to get there and not feel welcome or be homeless again."
Elias Cook agreed, saying he doesn't want to leave.
"I’m already deep-rooted here," Cook said. "Unless my family or somebody calls me from where I’m from and tells me, ‘Hey, come over here I have a job you.'"
Gina Fromer, the president and CEO at GLIDE, said sending non-San Franciscans away won't solve the city's homeless problem.
She said the relocation program has been successful in the past, but some people just won't want to go back to where they're from.
"Most people leave home for a reason: ‘I can’t go back to an abusive relationship, an abusive husband, so no I’m not going to take it.’ So the option is not going to work if that’s the case," she said. "It might work for some, and it might not work for others."
She suggested the city open up vacant hotels to get the homeless a place to stay.
"Why would somebody go back to the same place where they started from again, all the way from the very beginning of being homeless?" said Fallis.
Breed's increased efforts come as the city is stepping up homeless sweeps in general.
After the Supreme Court ruled last month that cities can ban people from sleeping and camping in public, Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered officials to remove homeless encampments.
Fromer said she was shocked by Newsom's order, and as a result, people are coming into GLIDE asking for help because all of their things were taken.
"Where's the compassion and empathy?" she asked. "We are going to stand up for what's right, and this is not right."

Items from SF homeless encampments being closely watched as sweeps ramp up
“San Francisco's policy for bagging and tagging property that is removed from a homeless encampment is being closely watched by critics and supporters of the city's latest crackdown on clearing the encampments.
Once property is sorted through at the site of a sweep, workers with the Department of Public Works comb through each item to determine if it is salvageable, soiled or hazardous.
Items deemed salvageable are then placed in a bag and tagged at the site where members of the team will document the process with photos and a paper trail.”

He didn’t give the Taliban those weapons, they were for the afghan government. Also Trump deserves the most blame because he negotiated the agreement, the timetable Biden was following. So it was either leave or escalate the war which isolationist Trump supporters and really the general public didn’t want. So Trump has just as much blame as Biden.

As a homeless person who can go anywhere and do anything, why would they choose to live in the "most expensive city" in the US? Their fault.

They choose to live in SF and in Cali generally because they get benefits that they would elsewhere, the weather is nice here, and the drug laws are looser, when I’m in SF I’ve seen them shoot up in the streets and no cop bothers them. Although that’s beginning to change I think with the sweeps.
