If anything I think he has minimized the problem. I'm driving around SF, Oakland and Berkeley every weekend and there are homeless camps all over the place. I think he's right about the hands off policy, It would appear that we in the SF Bay are ok with letting people rot in the streets. Somehow this is portrayed as compassion, but when you see the filth and desperation that people are living in it doesn't seem compassionate or sustainable.
Sounds like a job for a former strict district attorney. Under Biden/Harris this problem will finally be addressed.
It’s cruel and evil. These people are being used as props for the benefit of “leaders” and “activists”.
This is undeniably the result of leftist policies.
undeniably?
in an unquestionable or obvious manner; irrefutably
um, no. Not undeniably
No one ever thought decriminalizing drugs would take people off the streets, it was thought it would keep people out of prison. And it has. Now we need to fund addiction programs and mental health, not prisons. The problem is Americans would rather lock people up than help them.
It won't cost any more than keeping them in prison.
Rot in the streets vs rot in prison? Is that the choice?
That's a HUGE problem. Prison reform would go a VERY long way to further criminal justice reform. NO more privately prisons, no more private companies using cheap prison labor.
Most hobos did it to themselves. I've offered them jobs. Even a mentally slighted hobo can push a wheelbarrow.
