Panhandling / begging and sleeping in public places is punishable with prison time (assuming you can't pay the massive fine) in Singapore.
California wouldn't be California if it was run like Singapore or if it had the 9-9 chaebol work culture like South Korea.

In SF there literally are not enough shelter beds. If you were homeless today you would have to sleep on the street.
- tkel 2y agoGreat idea, eradicating visible poverty from public spaces by putting people in cages and punishing them for being poor, I think the Nazi party would like to have a friendly word with you. I bet you also think jails are a "housing program".
