Local officials and advocates are divided over how to respond to the directive, which has left homeless people without a clear idea where they will wind up.
Or maybe the problem should not be swept under the rug, and the root causes, meaning the housing market, the economy and mental health should be treated.
Note that many other places don’t have a problem of homeless encampments this big. Wonder why.
And how would we do that? In places like SF we’ve spent billions trying to fix the problem … and nothing has been fixed. There are many options for help but the people on the streets choose not to seek for help, they made the decision to stay on the streets and this is the consequence.

Isn’t it partially the weather and partially because a bunch of other states ship their homeless there?
And mostly because of the cost of housing.

Yeah, it’s their fault, not the nonexistent public (mental) healthcare, not the insane inflation and housing prices, not any of that.
Maybe those billions should have been spent differently. How many houses did you build out of those billions for example?
