When cities just move homeless people somewhere else that is a win?

The news source didn't go into detail on what the city did. If you can shed light on the situation, I'll be better able to form an opinion on what they did. Despite having little respect for the government of the city of San Francisco, usually they make me cringe, I'm sensing there's a good chance for them to win some accolades from me today over this.

On the other hand I was in downtown USC last night, on my way to the Queen concert. Right by USC. Homeless set up everywhere. Streets filled with trash. That was disgusting. Karen Bass needs to do something, I don’t know what.

Let’s just say it’s accurate and the streets they cleaned were garbage a couple days before. 

All they did was move the people somewhere else so it doesn’t really do anything.

With that being said I don’t understand why any city allows people to set up tents in parks or on streets. This shouldn’t be allowed. If you keep moving people I suppose that doesn’t really solve the problem either but it would keep people from creating these unsanitary camps at the very least.

He's part of the same crew that when BLM and antifa was burning down cities, they opened up their curtains on their front window and didn't see anything and proclaimed that nothing was happening and everyone was making stuff up.

And just to let you know, there were actually two posters on the other forum that actually said that. One guy said he walked around the block and didn't see anything and proclaimed everything was fake and the other guy said that he opened up his curtain windows and didn't see anything. That literally happened.

What happens now that the people who live in San Francisco have seen what it's like when the city is clean? I worry the voters there may start to expect their city government to maintain sanitary conditions.

I haven’t been to SF for a couple years but the sketchy areas then were confined to smaller sections of “the city”. For example you could stay in Union Square and see a couple people out of their minds. Walk to Hayes Valley and be in a very nice, trendy area where there was no sketch element. If you took certain routes on the way there you would walk through what looked like Mad Max.

Not sure what areas were “cleaned up” but the sketch areas I described could have been cleaned for this visit. You could go to areas in the city and not see any sketchy folks.

I sense this is true. As I wrote earlier I didn’t see any of it. Some people around here want to call me a liar, that’s on them. They have a vision of San Francisco that they are getting from conservative media that has very little bearing to reality- which is the problem with conservative media in general. It creates an Earth-2, as Nicolle Wallace puts it.

No.  I was there a year ago. Right where they just cleaned sh*t up.  I was there for a conference at the Moscone center.  That area was a sh*thole when I was there and by all accounts SF has only gotten worse since then.

Moscone area was a part I’d say was not great. Tourists aren’t necessarily going to that area though.

Not sure why they wouldn’t have prioritized cleaning it up before since that was the big convention center spot for SF.

Well I wasn’t at the Moscone center. As I wrote I was at Union Square, North Beach, Chinatown, Pier 39. All the tourist stuff. So there’s no reason that what you saw and what I saw can’t both be true.

I am surprised that you were in those areas and didn't see the homeless issue, regardless of it being a touristy area. Many of the larger stores have pulled out of Union Square due to activity of homeless, crime, drugs, etc. Chinatown is frightening, has been for a while, and Pier 39 is just meh at this point. Tourism doesn't necessarily mean people keep things cleaner. 

I dunno. I don't think you're being entirely truthful about what you've seen in those areas, given my experiences there as well. But whatever. We see what we want to see.

There was a lot of vacancy. That I noticed but I always notice that. 
I don’t know what to tell you. I’m being honest. Berkeley is littered with homeless last I checked. But not the places in San Francisco I was at. 
 

The biggest problem facing San Francisco, IMO, is not the homeless or the crime or illegal immigrants or the liberal policies that everybody complains about- it’s office space. There are millions of square feet of beautiful high rent office space in the downtown area. It’s empty. It’s going to stay empty. During Covid people realized they could work at home. They’re not coming back. 
 

All of the other problems are solvable one way or another. This one though…I don’t know. It’s bad and going to get worse.

Me, I would not commute an hour and a half, each way, across a bridge to pay more for parking than someone in Omaha pays for a 3 bedroom luxury apartment only to walk through crowds of homeless and illegals doing drugs and defecating on the street to work in an office knowing there is a substantial chance that when I return to my car it has been broken into and was the site of a soup kitchen.

Headed for the Frisco Bay

And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So, I'm just gon' unload on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll those logs away, ooh

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't poo where timshochet tells me to
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

Shittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
2,000 miles I foamed
Just to make this dock my home, now

Watchin' the tide roll those turds away, ooh

In the streets of San Francisco
Steams of soft serve are sprayed out everywhere

timschochet: "First, you’re absolutely right that California should solve its own homeless issue. We do have an extremely wealthy economy and we shouldn’t rely on anyone else. Point taken. Second from what I’ve seen homelessness, which is never good anywhere, is worst of all in San Francisco and Berkeley. In the city of Berkeley they have their own newspaper, and unofficial political representatives. There are, quite literally, homeless on every major street and corner of Berkeley. They’re everywhere, and they’re the main reason neither of my daughters decided to apply at Cal, even though they both loved the campus. 

But what to do about it? Both San Francisco and Berkeley have attempted tons of programs, spent lots of money. The result has been more homeless, not less, as the programs attract them. Now Rudy Giuliani infamously had an opposite approach: as mayor, he had the police intimidate, scare, and chase homeless away and made them feel unwelcome. Their civil rights were violated, but the result is that ever since Time Square in NYC is a nice safe place to take your family, and Union Square in San Francisco is not. I acknowledge that fact. But morally I can’t go along with what Rudy did and I’m glad that California isn’t doing it. "
