There is no true political good will to reduce the number of homeless people in SF. It takes a two pronged approach, both 1) advocating compassion and help, and also 2) enforcement of laws. Help must be in the form of guarantee of food and some sort of basic shelter for people into a tough spot, and enforcement for people that regularly break laws, sleep/urinate/defecate on the streets, etc.... Non-profits are not inclined to do anything about 2, and often will decry-hamper any effort to fix this. Here is some food for thought: Why does San Diego, which has much better weather than SF, has a much lower level of homeless people? TLDR: Non-profits, and radical liberals, have created an environment where homeless folks are encouraged to move into SF and nothing is truly done for their condition. As the joke goes: If you are homeless, move to SF, as your friends are already there. Most of homeless folks are people that came from other states, and not Bay Area locals, which means SF has become a collection point (or dumping point), of most homeless people from all other cities of the west coast. The cynic would say follow the money: and if you follow it, non-profits have no real incentive to fix the problem. On the other hand, building more housing is so tough that this situation is guaranteed to get worse/or stay the same, and never improve in the near or mid term.
