I disagree. Zombie-town is a valid insult for the state of certain SF neighborhoods. Yes, opponents love exaggerating the geographical extent of this crisis. But, it is that dire in the worst hotspots. Unfortunately, these hotspots also happen to be high-foot-traffic commuter hubs and downtown locations. Compassionate methods should be the carrot to a much needed stick. The stick being - Punishment for crimes and involuntary hospitalization of those too far gone. I would like to talk about the horrors of involuntary hospitalization. Which issues do you think will return ? What's worse than a life that's indistinguishable from zombie-hood on the streets of SF ?
