- throwaway2037 5y agoI do not like this type of reply. To me, it is hostile and lazy. Idea: Try Googling: East Cut Community Benefit District homeless It only takes a couple of seconds. I just did, and I found an article from FastCompany that discusses this matter. Ref: https://www.fastcompany.com/90217789/inside-san-franciscos-shaky-plan-to-build-a-lux-new-neighborhood-from-scratch https://www.fastcompany.com/90217789/inside-san-franciscos-s... Nice quote: The cost of living here has contributed to a homeless problem that has gained national notoriety. But it is less evident on the surface because luxe apartment building security has worked to clear the streets. The CBD says it helps with the homeless problems and says it has gotten 2,300 calls for homeless outreach assistance from January through October 2018. But a recent study from UC Berkeley found that some CBDs (also called Business Improvement Districts, or BIDs) in California have contributed to the rise of anti-homeless laws across the state by lobbying local governments. “Our key finding is that [CBDs] exclude homeless people from public space through aggressive policy advocacy and policing practices,” says Jeff Selbin, the director of the Policy Center and UC Berkeley School of Law, at a press conference in September about the study. “This finding raises important legal—and I would say moral—concerns.” You may also find a shi--y content farm piece from www.businessinsider.in that reads like a copy-paste job from the FastCompany article and a bunch of PR from East Cut CBD. No need to add a reference for that article... :)
