The powers that be leave them alone because if they don't, they are met with complete civil unrest in SF. Any attempt to even address the homeless issue is met with outrage and organized protest. This goes along with the outcry against gentrification and the lament of the city losing its "character."
Make no mistake, some of the people here actually want to live in a post-apocalyptic zombie film. :)
- jekdoce 14y agoDo you have any links to reports of "complete civil unrest" happening as a result of proposing to address the homelessness issue?

When I realized SF actually wanted these people living on the streets (despite empty talk to the contrary), I gave up petitioning the city to clean up my neighborhood and moved to a different neighborhood. No longer do I have to play hopscotch every morning along my commute. Or fear for the safety of my wife.
