UN Expert says San Francisco reminds her of Indian slums

A longtime United Nations envoy would disagree. She recently visited the Bay Area and was astonished by what she saw.

    When Leilani Farha paid a visit to San Francisco in January, she knew the grim reputation of the city’s homeless encampments. In her four years as the United Nations Special Rapporteur for Adequate Housing, Farha has visited the slums of Mumbai, Delhi, Mexico City, Jarkarta, and Manila. The crisis in San Francisco, she said, is comparable to these conditions.

    . . . .  At one point on her trip, Farha encountered a young man living underneath a highway underpass, cooking quesadillas on a small stove with an open flame.

    “The last time I had seen someone cooking on the sidewalk like that was in India, with the pavement dwellers there, and here I am in San Francisco in a state with the sixth largest GDP in the world,” said Farha.

It looks like many major American cities are being run by their stupidest residents. Having the gov. run by the dumbest members of society is called  a kakistocracy.
Fifty years ago the idea that the leaders of major cities would allow bums and drug addicts to camp on public sidewalks and leave excrement wherever they wanted would have been met with derision by evened hardened Dem leaders. Now most of them think it's a great idea.
Further proof that liberalism is a mental disease.

HEY! Their vote has the same value as yours.and if there is One True Thing you can believe with all your heart it is that the homeless WILL vote for more "free stuff" and more anarchy.

If I didn't know better,I would almost suspect this was a part of a plan.

As the saying goes, those who want to rob Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul.
