I think the mayor should Make the single room occupancy owners More <\/p>\n
accountable for its places And its practices and abuses I challenge <\/p>\n
this newspaper 1 ) follow these people threw this process how long <\/p>\n
will people stay in these shelters and single room occupancys (one <\/p>\n
person refused to stay a night a sro given to him ) other then a <\/p>\n
shower Ive given up on these shelters to help me (if I want to be <\/p>\n
abused Ill hire some one to do it ) 2 ) embed with these homeless and <\/p>\n
get a real story as to what is happening the homeless all over town is <\/p>\n
like a ocean some people stay some move on some come and go each has <\/p>\n
different stories some are strung out some are starting their own <\/p>\n
business some have ambition but need to be pointed in the right <\/p>\n
direction some are trying to work but get caught up with all these <\/p>\n
shelter rules I believe some of shelter staff just want some one to <\/p>\n
abuse And the checks and balance system is another step on the <\/p>\n
homeless neck<\/p>\n

Evicting the homeless from the park The mayor has better luck jumping <\/p>\n
the bay and pushing out all the water Trent Rhorer Acts like the city <\/p>\n
is not accountable for what the shelters do when you step into the <\/p>\n
shelters you lose lots of your rights as a human you surrender them to <\/p>\n
some one that has been in prison and or just got of rehab the sro <\/p>\n
system is horrible people stuff gets stolen rat roach blood sucking <\/p>\n
bugs infested rooms many health and fire code violations the <\/p>\n
tenderloin housing clinic has created a monopoly of the master lease <\/p>\n
housing and you expect people to pay for this even the homeless have <\/p>\n
better since<\/p>\n

“The tent was erected eight days after The Chronicle reported that the <\/p>\n
park was riddled with homeless encampments and hypodermic <\/p>\n
needles…….” No – the people reported on the situation in the park; <\/p>\n
The Chronicle found itself in the position of no longer being able to <\/p>\n
ignore this and print its usual fluff. If the newspaper is <\/p>\n
civic-minded, it’ll devote time and EFFORT to discovering the other <\/p>\n
elements to this issue, namely the condition of SROs and why they can <\/p>\n
take what amounts to public money, yet not provide even adequate <\/p>\n
safety (violations?) to the people that populate them. The Chron can <\/p>\n
also do some genuine reporting on the agencies, not simply copy\/paste <\/p>\n
“news” from other sources. In other words, leave YOUR encampment and <\/p>\n
hit the pavement – follow the news. There’s more to this city than <\/p>\n
rich old dowagers dressing for lunch and steroided fake athletes going <\/p>\n
for the record books. Pay your people the incentive to be reporters; <\/p>\n
you make plenty from Macy’s advertisements.<\/p>\n

I forgot to mention the poverty pimps who make money on endless <\/p>\n
services for these losers without any accountability as to improvement <\/p>\n
in the situation. Once I went to a meeting where an addict said that <\/p>\n
he wanted treatment on demand if and when he wanted it–but for now he <\/p>\n
loved his addiction and that the social workers work for him. NO THEY <\/p>\n
DON’T. They work for the taxpayers. And “Repo Violence”???? Doesn’t <\/p>\n
that speak volumes about someone you DON’T want in your city with your <\/p>\n
wife and kids? Or even your dog?<\/p>\n

It never ceases to amaze me how people can believe that somehow SF <\/p>\n
isn’t doing enough to help the unfortunate. I have lived here for 23 <\/p>\n
years now and have seen the budgets for homeless programs go up and up <\/p>\n
and up. If I’m not mistaken, the total amount now being spent on <\/p>\n
direct services is somewhere around $120 million per year and another <\/p>\n
$80 in indirect services (emergency room care, etc.) That’s between <\/p>\n
$13,000 and $20,000 PER case (depending on whose homeless count you <\/p>\n
believe.) Once again, let’s ask ourselves if we’re getting our money’s <\/p>\n
worth. I think not. The problem is as bad as ever.<\/p>\n

nothing of the people INSIDE it. I’m not going to live in a crack <\/p>\n

can’t give me the mental health stuff that I need — what I said to <\/p>\n
the other poster is correct. I’ll state openly that not only do I <\/p>\n
belong in an institution, but if you walked with me on the streets for <\/p>\n
30 minutes, I could give you 10 people who similarly need it openly. <\/p>\n
I’ll tell you this, j___: If that last part (employment away from the <\/p>\n
public) were to be implemented, I’d be interested.<\/p>\n
