Aren't the parks full of hobos and derelicts these days? I've never been to SF but I keep hearing that from people who visited.

- frank2 7y agoThat's mostly because a Federal judge (specifically, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in Martin vs. City of Boise) ruled that a local government cannot punish the homeless for camping on public property unless the City is able to offer the homeless person an alternative (i.e., at least a bed in a homeless shelter).
- Lammy 7y agoI don’t think we should want to punish the homeless.
- pensatoio 7y agoGuide to becoming SF: Step 1. Ban any mitigations on the homeless. Step 2. Ban new housing. I’m actually with you, but it’s crazy that this seems to go over the heads of people crafting legislation. Lots of parks filled with homeless people is the only possible outcome.
