I’m not sure if people know this, but all that stuff in the Chronicle yesterday and today about the homless in Golden Gate Park. They mentioned a DPH tent set up.
well, they’re already taking that down as of this morning
also took an informal survey of the park workers, and those are the people who really know. I myself knew people who lived in the park for 20 years and remember what it was like in the 80’s. The fact is, it was worse back in the 80’s compared to today. You can’t hear much in the video because of the traffic, but I’m asking park staff about this. There’s not thousands of needles, maybe a couple hundred in the whole park
this is something that’s been going on for over 30 years now, and never really went away. It just gets periodically more noticeable, more press, then there’s sweeps, the tent goes up for a couple days, etc etc
