My wife and I visit the city quite often and have been distressed at the level of homelessness that we have witnessed. To your point, these are human beings with families, friends etc. When I read about the act that will compel each county to assess the needs of those displaced, I thought about a program called CAHOOTS (Crisis Assistance Helping Out On The Streets) in Eugene, Oregon, that has been ongoing for many years and is a program to respond to those people in distress. It has been a huge success.
Let's bus all of the homeless to Eugene, OR. But, the billion dollar homeless industry does not want a solution, perpetuation is far more profitable. SF voters are the only ones that can solve this by dumping all or most of their supervisors and the mayor. Then start over, roll up the welcome mat and start focusing on what the taxpayers need.
So my group email blasts encouraging folks to tell the homeless to set trail/be sent to LA, SF, or Sacramento have listed the wrong cities? Let me update to include Eugene, Oregon as a favorable destination...
