Sounds like you’re talking about the tweakers in RVs and the street kids/crust punks in the Haight who have pit bulls and are just living a “lifestyle” or homeless by choice. I think most of them qualify as “ruiners” according to the article, but maybe you disagree. These are the group of homeless I think that are causing 90% of the issues in the city and they know cops won’t really do much so they are constantly pushing what they can get away with like petty theft, stealing bikes, operating open bike chop shops, openly selling and using drugs, camping wherever they feel like... This is the group who are basically ruining quality of life for everyone else and a drain to homeless resources. I think there needs to be some kind of program and either homeless are enrolled and attending and getting help, or they aren’t allowed to stay within city limits. It’s just really frustrating how the city has done nothing to sort the homeless into people who want help and the people who don’t. I think between the lazy DAs, cops who don’t care, juries who won’t convict, and judges who won’t sentence—we’ve created a situation where no one is actually improving the homeless crisis, just ignoring it. BART has become a de facto homeless shelter. Antioch trains regularly have 5-7 homeless people sleeping in each car during rush hour. I read in SFGate that they arrested 66 fugitives in the Tenderloin in one sweep this week... it just doesn't seem safe to have this level of lawlessness in a major city. I feel bad for these people because most of them are mentally ill or struggling with some other issue, but this is not the way to run a world class city. There is clearly money to fix the problem, but no political will to actually put the structures in place.
