San Francisco Suddenly Wants to Clear Out the Homeless

San Francisco Suddenly Wants to Clear Out the Homeless
Jazz Shaw 10:00 AM | September 22, 2024
   
 
The situation out on the streets in San Francisco has been alarming (to say the least) for long enough now that it's almost become a footnote in the wreckage that the Biden administration has left in its wake, particularly when combined with the pro-crime, anti-police impulses of Gavin Newsom's governorship. By this point, you've all seen the stories and we've covered them here often. Homeless encampments clog up the streets while addicts overdose on the public sidewalks. Petty crimes combined with some that are far more serious have plagued formerly prime real estate. But now there are signs of a rapid transformation taking place. San Francisco Mayor London Breed, taking advantage of a recent Supreme Court ruling regarding ordinances forbidding public camping, has been cracking down on the encampments and clearing them out. But what could have brought on this sudden change of heart after the problem had been festering for years? Could it have something to do with the upcoming elections? (Associated Press)
 

Sidewalks once teeming with tents, tarps and people passed out next to heaps of trash have largely disappeared from great swathes of San Francisco, a city widely known for its visible homeless population.

The number of people sleeping outdoors dropped to under 3,000 in January, the lowest the city has recorded in a decade, according to a federal count.

And that figure has likely dropped even lower since Mayor London Breed — a Democrat in a difficult reelection fight this November — started ramping up enforcement of anti-camping laws in August following a U.S. Supreme Court decision.

In the real world:

* Cities in the Ninth Circuit have been hamstrung for years in dealing with the Sacred Homeless by the Boise decision. I wonder if Jazz Shaw is aware of this.

* The USSC, through a case brought by Grants Pass, OR, basically overturned Boise ... in late June 2024, which means that Grants Pass had filed for the case to be heard by the USSC in summer 2023. I wonder if Jazz Shaw is aware of this.

* Among the cities that supported Grants Pass' case was the City of San Francisco.

So, no, this effort by the City of SF (and others), which began in August, is not timed to correspond to the November election, but instead to the timing of the overturning of the Boise decision.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

An impertinent question.

When you "clean them out" of "here"...
... they obviously have to go somewhere else.

WHERE are they all going...?

So ... the Democrats are 'clearing out' all their supporters and their voter base?

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Well Oregon is still giving lots of freebies and wide open for drugs and homeless camps, right? So it’ not all that far to go. I guess in that case you could blame California, then again I bet the majority of lowlives in SanFranshitco came from other states/countries too.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

That's all right. I'm sure their ballots will be counted, anyway.

Mayor London Breed is now on tiktok putting out cringe skits trying to convince people that crime is down in San Francisco and bragging about closing down streets all over so she can have parties.
