Mayor London Breed said a “very aggressive” sweep of San Francisco homeless encampments will start in August, after a recent Supreme Court ruling cleared the path for widespread enforcement.

In June, the Supreme Court ruled that enforcing rules against homeless people for sleeping outside doesn’t violate the Eighth Amendment’s “cruel and unusual punishment” clause.

On Thursday, Breed celebrated the ruling and said the city plans to change its protocols and may begin issuing criminal penalties against homeless people.

“Thank goodness for the change in the Supreme Court decision,” Breed said at an election debate hosted by a local firefighter’s union. “Effective August, we are going to be very aggressive and assertive in moving encampments, which may even include criminal penalties.”

Fuck this guy. Instead of trying to hide them you could try helping them, would go a lot farther than destroying their tents and handful of belongings they have bcz you don't like to look at it.

They have to want to be helped in order to be helped.

Pull harder on those bootstraps

Wow, how original... Waiting for the ACAB, bootlicker, etc. comments. You need a reality check.

You've already internalized them, so I think we're good

Or how about you actually build some housing for these people?

edit: i guess i should have said affordable housing...

The chronically homeless, the ones that are hardest to get off the street, are difficult to house for reasons besides availability or cost, though.

And we could still fund a facility and staff to house and treat them and it would be cheaper than the current emergency services and courts costs. It would also be more humane and prevent massive encampments from forming.

They dont want to stay though. You have to realize that some people just dont think the way others think. Call it mental illness, call it mental differences, call it whatever you want. But some people are just not compatible with homes.

Yes breed, go harder right, you'll definitely not alienate more of your voters and leave room for peskin. You'll definitely pick up votes to your right from the billionaire backed candidates that they really want.
