1. The people of SF brought this on themselves. Let them stew in their own vomit and trash.

   1. You will note that BART flack thinks this is a “National Crisis”
      However, to be absolutely clear:
      “The report shows California’s homeless population jumped nearly 14 percent from 2016 to 2017 — to a total of more than 134,00 people. It rose nearly 9 percent over the previous seven years.
      That’s much different than the national picture. While the national homeless population ticked up about 1 percent in 2017, it remained 13 percent lower than in 2010, according to an NPR analysis following the report’s release.’

2. Why not beat the shit out of them for resisting arrest? What’s wrong with cops nowadays?

   1. I don’t know. Go ask the cops in the UK who are standing guard over Alfie. Go ask the cops who watched over the Holodomor. Go ask the cops who did the John Doe raids in Wisconsin. Ask the cops who were in High River. Ask the cops who staffed residential schools. Ask the cops who helped Tommy Douglas fix subnormal families. Ask the cops who staffed Mao’s great leap forward. Ask the cops who pushed people down the cattlw chutes to be executed by Che. Ask the cops who protected Weinstein, Catholic priests, …

      1. proving that the police are not your friends.

3. I don’t see a problem. I think every city should give their homeless and their junkies $100 cash and a bus ticket to San Francisco. And in Canada, to Vancouver. They’ve enacted policies that encourage this consequence, let them revel in all the glory they’ve created.

4. From June 1999 to April 2001, I worked directly above that BART station. Even then, it was like Nightmare on Elm Street every day. I asked some of my co-workers who lived in San Francisco how people there dressed for Hallowe’en. I was guessing business suits and dresses, because they dressed as if it were Hallowe’en the other 364 days of the year.

5. What people do to themselves is none of my business. When they do it in public its everyone’s business. I have no problem with safe injection sites IF they are funded completely with private money and located on private property. But the neo-Marxists who advocate for them always want the government to “solve” their problems by taking an ever greater amount of hard-working people’s money.

6. SOP for the media. A problem that has been in existence for years only becomes newsworthy with a Republican in the White House.

   See Mark Helprin in the WSJ from 2000.

   If George W. Bush becomes president, the armies of the homeless, hundreds of thousands strong, will once again be used to illustrate the opposition’s arguments about welfare, the economy, and taxation.

7. Ha! Bart Junkies! They just really like the trains right?

8. They talk about not having funds to deal with the problem. Just what does a dump truck cost for a day?

9. Each of those slumped, sick, dirty, addicted persons is someone’s child.

   It’s true that some of them were “raised” by feral bio parents in broken “homes”.
   But many of them have good parents, parents who have fought a long, losing battle with the child’s illness, with the health care system, trying to get psychiatric care, trying to get space in rehab, trying to get lazy social workers to help a particular kid… parents who have spent days searching in shelters and on the streets, looking for their lost child. Then parents give up in hopelessness.

   This is a mental illness problem first, complicated by drug availability, and then in many cases, complicated by problems of character, upbringing, intelligence, and social culture.
   This is all supported and encouraged by the slack, bloated social work and health care bureaucracies, who would be out of a job if they solved the problem.
   It is enflamed by every leftist economy and family-destroying tactic, and by the politicians who run to the front of the parade to promise more money (for their big union donors).
   The Liberals’ plan to legalize recreational weed will deepen addiction (virtually every addict will say it IS a gateway drug) , but it’s all good for the Libs: a stoned voter with marijuana-induced cognitive deficits and memory problems is a gift.

   1. The Poverty Whores have no actual desire to ‘solve’ this problem.

   2. I disagree, they were raised by Libtard yuppie parents who thought they were being cool by not raising their kids with any kinda discipline and continue to vote for Nancy Pelosi. The same people who laughed at Reagan’s Just Say No! commercials.

10. What a great opportunity and place for a high school outing. No, really, I’m serious. Take the 13 to 18 year old school kids there. There is no lesson like reality (in contrast to the blah, blah, blah of the sterile classroom) to bring home the real glamour of using heroin and similar drugs…… you need the smells as well as the visuals.

    1. I could not agree more,a really strong dose of reality is exactly what these kids who are being indoctrinated in government schools need to show them the real world.

11. WTF is happening to our society?

    1. Steve, it’s everywhere. The DTES of Vancouver has been a sh1thole for over 50 years now, and all the leftist, feel good, do gooder, bleeding heart objectives, at YUGE expense, have all been dismal failures. Only those like hardasses Whistling Bernie Smith kept things in lIne, but that was over 40 years ago. Now it’s all just sensitivity training, with the typical results from that (NADA).
       Hey, look at Pandora St in Victoria near Our Place, this to rapidly resembling the DTES. That’s what happens when you have ongoing far left silly councils whose only agenda is looking the other way, telling the cops to ignore it, and helping them hold their needles. And petty crime continues to increase, the cops shrug. It’s becoming unsafe within a 2 block radius of that area, and all the lesbo mayor can do is smile and encourage MOAR co-dependency. This is what happens with social activists and enablers, they think things will magically get better, cuz they are so nice and helpful. There’s no consequences for being a deadbeat junkie now.

       1. She’s too busy with those stupid, and empty, bike lanes.

12. God Almighty grant you what you wish for others Bitch. 4.5 million Californians voted for President Trump in the 2016 election. This number is the 4th highest in the US popular vote. See also Gen. 18:23.

    1. some times the righteous do pay, along with the wicked.

13. New York City had this same problem. Many of the homeless would rather live in the subways than in the homeless shelters that the city provides. It got so bad that the politicians finally did something about it: the subways were cleaned, sometimes with firehoses, every morning at 5:00 AM. Problem solved.

14. I’ve heard it said, but doubt the truth of it, that mandatory residential drug rehab doesn’t work. So what? Drug abuse is not an illness nor a human right.
