🤔 I thought Trump would find a job and a home to all the citizens. So... why is his popularity rating so huge? Trump is gonna make USA terrific again.

That’s because there’s no livable wage in San Francisco.

California should hold other states accountable for sending their homeless to California. That could discourage those other states

Years ago on a road trip with my two sons we stopped in this beautiful city we couldn’t get over seeing all the homeless how dirty and helpless they looked for gods sakes reached out with love

California socialism

A consequence of out of control Capitalism without a proper balance of Socialism.

Was it confirmed he’s homeless? ..did anyone even check for a pulse?

SpeakerPelosi and SenFeinstein what a town!

1 of the richest state in the world

The politicians you elected created the problems, it's up to the voters to find the solutions or buy Wellington boots to wear around town to avoid the backed up sewer you call home.

When you put the welcome mat out and give as much free stuff as possible and throw in being able defecate any place you choose, what do you expect?

...pretty much a common sight....no relief ....

Thanks Gavin.

Apparently, not a constipated lot, as the amount of human feces on SF streets has increased 5X from 2011-8 - San Francisco saw a 17% jump in of homeless residents over the last two years, according to city's preliminary analysis

But we need more illegals in America

You call them homeless. They’re drug addicts and drunks and don’t wanna live by society’s rules. Spineless police chiefs and politicians coddle them like victims, which causes good, hard-working people to become ACTUAL victims.

They need a place to go beside the street. But Sham Francisco residents are heavily invested in the organizations to help the homeless, and don't get them homes, just to have something to profit from. The city is a sadistic, cold hamster wheel. RIP

Give them free stuff and they will come.

Lower the price of cars.

It's why most people living in middle America don't want any part of that sh*t.

DiS cRiSiS...p0sT Reagan Era...

He looks more deceased than homeless.
