Do you think there might be a cultural issue as well? I think individuals might be hesitant to report offenses because it might make them feel like they're trash-shaming the homeless/neighbors. I know for myself that I hesitate to cause any ruckus, and let people be, but I think the residents of SF take that view to the 10th degree.
- ncr100 8y agoSF residents do take extreme stances sometimes, yes. Shaming a disadvantaged person seems unhelpful, to me. Culturally I'm thinking about something which might not be what you were asking about -- the responsibility of the society to care for its disadvantaged or "ill fitting" citizens. US does have some programs to help but it's also famously still crushing large groups of its population. I don't know what the solution would be.
