Gimme Shelter, the Cost of Living in San Francisco
- jelliclesfarm 7y agoWhy are people living in a city they cannot afford? SF is a tourist town. It’s a small dense town. It’s delusional to imagine that everyone from families to students to seniors to homeless and artists should live in this tiny little city by the bay. There are perfectly liveable towns in the Bay Area and beyond. The region has a public transport problem..not a housing problem. The narrative is distracting the government’s appalling failure to do the job they are supposed to do. It seems deliberate. ETA: The last part makes me so mad. Did he just give a homeless person tequila and that’s the warm fuzzy ending? That’s just wrong on so many levels.
- glloydell 7y agoI don't know how you got warm fuzzy from that ending, but I'm not clear on why giving alcohol to someone living on the streets makes you angry. Does being homeless imply that someone is obviously an alcoholic that shouldn't be allowed near alcohol?
- jelliclesfarm 7y agoI have a dim view of those who hand out leftover alcohol to homeless people because they can’t take it with them on a cross country flight back east. Ymmv.
