San Francisco: Are They Enabling Drug Addiction and Homelessness? Noir S7E12 Part 2 

San Francisco. When a 2 bedroom sells for $5 million and the streets are covered with used syringes and human feces.

That guy who’s speaking with the hat talking about the problem - he’s spot on. Great work Colion & team!

I work at a Jail in central California. All governments either intentionally or unintentionally enable drug addiction. Almost everyone I medically screen uses meth (or Ritalin), opioids (synthetic prescription drugs), benzodiazepines(Xanax) , or heroin (more direct opiate). Sometimes, they might even drink enough alcohol to require CIWA, even more rarely some use MDMA, or even PCP. THC is common, but not really a charge, just kind of a drunk tank thing, a lot of people drive to a park and smoke in their car. Usually they abuse multiple drugs, sometimes intentionally, however many cannot verify the drugs they are taking, as such, usually test positive for 2-4, pregnant girls arrested are usually the worst, testing positive for almost everything in my area, a couple of STDs, sometimes a UTI or bladder infection, or worse, pyelonephritis and possibly permanent kidney damage. Given a choice and resources to accomplish that choice (a program that provides a job, food and housing if they can stay drug free), none have done it. They get their first pay check and disappear into a downward spiral until they get arrested again, dehydrated, malnourished, half-dead, and we detox and nourish them again. They get exactly what they want.

Teaching the homeless how to clean after themselves!!!! Are you kidding me?!!

I live by ocean avenue for 35 years! I remember when the city was non pretentious until the tech boom came in and progressive politics ruled the city that’s when everything went south!! The city is now a hipster dump.

Thank you for covering this! I needs to be talked about and I'm glad it is you.

Yes. Just like Seattle and Portland

Imagine that! Tolerance enables people to be destructive towards themselves and others. Time to enforce the laws or change them. Homeless Industrial Complex.

Welcome to socialism, our next stop is...

I hope you do one for these shows on an east coast city like a Baltimore, Newark, or Camden.

Yup...and now the monsters that created this problem are running for President...LOL

Colin, these are award winning level pieces. Hope your work is recognized.

Illegals and homeless should go camp out in Pelosi's front yard and in her home. She has enough homes to home a few bunch of people

Yes. It's sad watching this. If the leaders of the city didn't have gated communities & security to protect them would we see this? Best wishes

Every democrat ran city is just like this!!! WWhata giant coincidence!!! Lol

This is absolutely by design

Man this is amazing work man! Reminds me of what vice news used to be 5-6 years ago before they sold out. Keep it up bud!

Welcome to Newsomville, down the street is GarcettiTown, and if you go left you end up in Feinsteinberg

I left the Bay Area in 2002. Best decision of my life

**AT **4:13** IN THE VIDEO YOU SAID THIS** "Is the cost of living being artificially inflated" YES. Part of the problem is people who are willing to own and operate rentals - and by the way, there's a MASSIVE shortage of apartments, and due to LOW SUPPLY and HIGH DEMAND naturally the price goes up -- -- part of the problem is people who are willing to own and operate rentals can do that anywhere in the country, really. Anywhere. I studied this, "how could there be such a shortage of rentals with such high demand, why isn't the market fixing this?" because after graduating from college there it was nearly impossible to get a place. Well, they enacted Rent Control in 1979 -- that's 40 years ago - and people who invest in rentals started staying away after that. Because of the fact that any new construction, also, could be put under rent control at the drop of a judge's gavel - see the movement to do just that, "repeal Prop 10, repeal Costa Hawkins!" Well the rental properties are not cheap. And it takes a smart person to save up the money to buy one. So when they say "I can invest in rentals here or some place where rent control is not a threat" Over the past 40 years, a shortage of apartments developed as potential landlords decided to own and operate ELSEWHERE. THAT'S WHY APARTMENTS ARE SO EXPENSIVE. Not enough of them. In studying this problem I found this. And this was from the year 2011. It's gotta be much worse now. I got out of that state because it just seems that the leadership is kinda dumb. mjperry.blogspot.com/2011/05/because-of-rent-control-sf-has-31000.html . . .

I live in Eugene Oregon and I could have swore you were here an not San Fran. It's just as bad here

Fantastic documentary! I lived near Glen Park and worked in Powell also in the marina, it broke my heart... I moved out real quick! It's baffling. Thank you for shining light on it. GB.

Great video/documentary shine light on the dark let it be known

This would make a lot of sense. It would cause hardworking conservatives to flee to other states leaving them unchallenged in the rule of their liberal Utopia. See California for an example, that's what they did.

Yep...they are...instead of investing money in needle programs, and spots for them to “safely” do drugs, they could invest in rehabilitation programs

*NOIR 2024*

Socialism great job california 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you for shining light on things that the media is too afraid to show. San Francisco and the entire SF Bay Area is a mess.

You reap what you tolerate and encourage= Socialism

This is a problem all up and down the west coast from Southern California to Alaska. I visited Portland Oregon and the drug problem is even worse. Pan handlers everywhere. I visited Colorado Springs and there were Homeless students and sick people in the streets. I saw people sleeping in their cars. Standing on the on ramps pan handling. Homelessness is a big problem out west.

Hello, colion. I live in long beach ca where there is a large population of homeless people. Thank you for doing the videos you have done on homelessness, people need to be aware of what's going on. I would like to give you some thoughts if i may...some of the biggest and most expensive cities in which to live...Seattle...Los Angeles...Hawaii...san francisco....places with out of control rent, have some of the absolute highest populations of homeless people. 30-40 years ago, there was only one kind of homeless, now there are two..the regular homeless that you see and the invisible homeless you don't see...people who have jobs and work but live out of storage units and their cars because they just can't afford the rent in those cities. I believe there is a direct correlation between the high rent and a good chunk of the homelessness. All it takes is one or two missed paychecks,one lost job,one bad event to go from having a home to not having one,and because rent is so out of control,if you suffer a loss its hard to recover in time...just my thoughts

"The increase of tolerance has led to depreciation" 🤔🤔🤔

Until 1956 San Francisco was nearly a 50/50 dem/rep city. How times change.

I've been watching you since you posted choppy video's on r/guns. I've always been a fan, but I love this direction that you've been going in. No one else is talking about this. Thank you.

Bruh, I live in a small town north of SF and Oakland calif , I have seen it change so much ,last time I was in SF ,someone crapped between my car and the next ,almost stepped in it ...Your guest has a great point !

Anna the realtor is spot on, grandpa Del is also spot on he's got the critical thinking and the heart, I agree with both of the two interviewed Del said how could a non profit accept 250k a year salary complete "scam"

Awesome video 👍 keep bringing attention to real issues

Excellent video. I live here so you have done a service to all who watch this video. HUD programs are a part of the problem. Our US Veterans with PTSD end up on the street while new families from other countries get moved into FREE section 8 housing and then they turn around and buy $60K luxury cars with cash. Put the veterans in hud and get them off the street!

But, they keep being voted in! 🤔

It’s shocking to see all of this, and even more shocking to see how passerby’s just ignore it

So this fool is for drug legalization. And addicts pay for their drugs how? Stealing anything that isn't bolted down. They sure as f.. ain't holding jobs.

Colion you should see Colorado is following the playbook of San Francisco. It is so sad.

"I'm for drugs legalization" well that's what you get

I live in the South Bay (San Jose) The actual Silicon Valley. Last year I started driving ride share fill time. My back career prior was Medical, an Management leadership. I knew we had a problem in the Bay area with homeless, but until doing ride share i had no idea how big the "PROBLEM WAS." Yes San Francisco has it front an center do to its world wide destination stature. But the Bay area as a whole has more homeless than the rest of the state combined. We have more drug users and just crimes committed by transient homeless than any other crime statistic demography. in San Jose they do not even bother to have given portable or temporary bathrooms to the homeless camps. There was just in the past month City meetings about using city owned property (at the time of the meeting was already being used bu homeless as a camp for over 60 people) to have a formal legal encampment for the homeless. At this meeting the people of nearby neighborhoods came to this meeting an made threats to the city council to sue the city and or take up action to remove the homeless "from there neighborhood". This area of town is known as Willow Glen, it is a prominent upper class and one of the central elite areas of the South bay Silicon Valley. At the meeting there was people yelling "put them on the East Side". these Elite in the By area are the first to form none profits, go to the media an say something needs to be done, but they don't want them any place near there neighborhoods. they East bay only one City actively seems to do anything anything to help. they have created a program that buys "Tough Sheds" an places them on city owned property under a section of freeway. they then vet out an choose people who are eligible to live in one. They vet them and have rules, you can not be on drugs, you must enter a program that either helps you find work in your known trade or will re train you to find work, once working they help them find permanent housing. This site has bathrooms, showers, a office trailer with computers an services. there is full time 24/7 security and police patrol. only one problem the site an the number of participants do nit even add up to a register able % of the homeless in just Oakland. While just 15 or 25 Min Ride on the 101, or 280 Freeway south of San Francisco you have cities like Palo Alto (home of Stanford Medical Hospital and the University) Atherton (know as the highest $ zip code in the nation) also know as wall city simply because over 90% of its Neighborhoods are be hide walls, Menlo Park (The Head quarters of Facebook), and Mountain View (Headquarters of Google) are all passing laws that will make being homeless on the streets in those cities illegal. in most of these areas they have a large amount of people who actually work have jobs (multiple Jobs) but can not afford housing. So thy purchase RV's. Well they park them an live in them. these cities in some cases have out law the parking of any kind of RV in the city limits. While other have passed laws to limit the areas an time a RV can be in one location. These people are frequently harassed by local neighborhood organisation, an law enforcement is used as a tool to get them out of there areas an cities. They tow an impound these as well as place wheel locks an fine these people. with that they make them completely homeless. The Bay area as a whole is this center of the Liberal heart, an it has the highest concentration of wealth and tech in the world. But it is hear you see the Elite true creation of a upper and lower class plan, the have and the have not. there use of political narrative to create greater wealth for there none profits and government. while further dividing them from the others!

Wow dude! I grew in the east bay left in 96 to Portland. Have wanted to leave here for at least 8 years. Don't what to say just sad.

Anna the realtor is the best speaker ive ever heard! She is very well spoken!

It's dependence. The authority requires people be dependent of them

I walked around downtown Olympia, an (typically) hour drive south of Seattle, earlier today and the homeless that blatently congregate in some areas there heckled me for not giving them money, or doing "better" then them, or even not buying their drugs

People like to pick on Detroit but you don't see this crap in Detroit! Detroit is slowly rebuilding. It's people are strong and proud! I don't see any pride there.Theres money being made off of these people, that's what democrats do, they want you in poverty, they want you to be dependent. To cite and old adage. Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish you feed him for life.

This was amazing. I live in sf and I'm a veteran from the east coast. The word around town is other cities in the bay area bus their homeless to the tenderloin to take advantage of San Francisco homeless resources. They drop them off in the tenderloin in the middle of the night

The powers that be sponsor this policy knowing that it WILL grow out of control, then they CAN enable the domestic military complex ( police ) to run rampant and enforce government doctorines.

Eye opening video! Thank you for posting!

Colion, you are awesome. Thanks for reporting on this. #MAGA #KAG 2020

Colin Noir you're right. I live in Santa Monica in LA. and we have a homeless Meth junkie problem rivaling San Francisco's. I also agree that homelessness is politicized. Proof: I live 2 blocks from the beach and our (greedy) City Council is building 7 (?!) homeless shelters within blocks of one another. There goes the neighborhood FOR REAL!

accountability? but but you have no right to oppose my lifestyle even it is a burden to the society! but if we get enough ppl like this, we, the majority in a democratic society then votes to socialism and ta da, we are all equal

Man, I really appreciate you making these documentaries. While Oakland and SF have been fucked up for my entire life, it seems to have gotten exponentially worse in the last 10 years, and it's so disheartening. People need to see this.

I'm kinda tired of these types of videos from Noir. Give me back shooting videos and reviews please!

Love seeing Del Seymour! I grew up as a runaway in the tenderloin, and he is our friend!

I hope your videos go viral because this is shocking. I live in the Midwest and had no idea this was happening. Human beings cannot be allowed to live in the streets like stray animals. If this isn't a national emergency I don't know what is. This is beyond sickening.

And I also would like to add the constant stream of traffic stop ticket money the local city gets. They invest heavily in a police force to gather money from ordinary citizens while they ignore thieving and killing. We specifically jail and incarcerate the poor and when they get out keep them from getting jobs so they keep the cycle of crimes going so they can justify the huge police force (money gathering force)

It's just like PHARMACEUTICALS, their is NO MONEY in CURES! Homeless IS the NEW OIL!

You just got a new subscriber..a well done and honest look at this situation..thank you for your work,it must be very hard to deal in your mind and heart with the truths you are exposing..God bless you..

Our small town has been effected by local big cities. More homeless on the street than i have ever seen in our area. Cant help them because it appears to only make it worse

I appreciate everyone that exposes corruption. What is this world coming too. Luv watching your videos Mr. Colian, keep up the good work.

I heard from a very good source that the Gov Of CA is giving one-way tickets to immigrates and/or homeless people to go to Hawaii. That’s why there is an increase in homeless in Hawaii. No joke!

Very well produced. Cheers X 3 !!!

We were there last June. It was heartbreaking to see the needy out there like that. I spent many dollars feeding folk. I was told by many not to give. I couldn't overstand that and I contiuned giving from my heart

YES! The biggest thing you cannot do with a drug addict is ENABLE. Anyone with a drug addict in their family has experienced this. If you enable, they never stop. I think the people in charge of these policies know this very well.

I agree with you.. There is No where to sweep the mess Anymore

Thank you for doing what you do with your videos. I live in Kansas and we really don't get this information on MSM. God bless you sir.

Great video...Bringing light on the subject. Thank YOU!

You would think that with the current annual $400M homeless budget the problem would be solved! But no - they keep saying they need more money!

I just want to say it’s everywhere now even a small town in the Midwest. When we start taking responsibility for one another and forcing mental health care and forcing drug rehabilitation. It’s a necessity not a human rights violation.

Colion Noir gets to the heart of the problem it would be an honor to meet him and endorse him as president of the NRA.

Wow!!!!Thank you for truth!!! In California 😥

Enableling equals laziness!! The more homelessness.. The more money!!!!! Where's all the money going?

Thank you for shedding light on this.

Went to UC Berkeley and took BART into the city to work every day, back in the 80's when "revitalizing SOMA" was a thing! Sad to see what the city has become. Thanks Dianne. Thanks Willie. Thanks Kamala. Thanks Nancy. Thanks Gavin. Thanks George. Thanks London. Bye bye Chesa! SF may be waking up.

I live in San Francisco and the city spent more than 2 million in a push to put homeless people on Social Security SSI. Many are addicts and alcoholics who diagnosed with a variety of ailments due to their substance abuse. After being granted more than a thousand a month for a single person in federal and state disability benefits and $75 a month in EBT (formally food stamps) plus housing assistance, many still refuse to pay rent, are homeless, and shoot meth, heroin and smoke meth and crack while camping out in front of businesses and residential buildings.

These pcs you do are clearly eye opening moments. Thank you

Accountability!!! Holding people accountable!

Wow. amazing video, especially the interview with Mr. Dell Seymour. I lived in SF in 1997-1999 and I cannot believe how much worse it has gotten. The parks were always filled with a some people living in the bushes, and it was kinda scary walking through the Tenderloin. This video was so informative - the change is unbelievable, it used to be an exciting and beautiful place to visit. I bet a lot of tourist $$ is going somewhere else. I have zero desire to ever go there again. I hope there is a change - your video is a strong message.

Dallas DA just announced he wouldn’t prosecute theft under $750. That is going to devastate civil society in Dallas. A mom n’ pop shop has a very thin profit margin. If they have just two $750 thefts per month that’s the wage of an employee. They will go under because they have no recourse and no protection.

Ban plastic straws...but syringes all over the city is ok!? such fun!

Once again... every one of them demands their goofy rights, but none of them assert their responsibilities.

I'm glad people are seeing this. This is what progressivism develops in so many democratic-fun cities. And unless stopped soon, it will come to your city or a city near you. Thanks for sharing.

I would encourage everyone to post this on their social media! With the legalization of up to 1 oz of any drug in King County and Snohomish County in Washington State, we are rapidly becoming a San Francisco. Americans should be ashamed of what our country is becoming. In my opinion

I grew up in San Francisco, moved there in 1974 as a child, the city was great... The decay starter slow, but has grown like the most predatory cancer imaginable. Rampant corruption at all City levels and do-nothing PR programs guised as support for the less fortunate. I finally left in 2000 and moved up North a wee bit. I wouldn't NEVER go back, there is NOT enough money in any reserve that would make me live in such a beautiful city being swallowed alive by squalor and bad management.

That dude nailed it on the non profits

In the past few years several of my clients have relocated from that area and across California area to Texas. Their horror stories are sickening. Any time they made a few dollars some democrat would find some new and creative way to take it with taxes, fees or payoffs. They all went from at best breaking even to not only becoming profitable but able to expand. One joked, "Will the last manufacturer to flee California remember to turn out the light."

I've lived 10 miles from SF and only been to SF about 6 times in 23 years, It's loud, crowded, and disgusting

Excellent piece. Excellent!! But they don't have the will to fix the problem. Their "tolerance" gets in the way.

I'm a California native and lived in San Francisco and surrounding area for 20 year's. I remember going to concerts at the Oakland Colosseum to see Journey. It really made me feel good when they played the song "Lights", I was so proud to be apart of the Bay Area. I'm very sad to see what it has become. Unfortunately it is a shinning example if what our world is becoming.

Get this trending. Del Seymour is a national treasure. If he ran for President, I'd vote for him in a second. This is reaaallll good cheddah' Colion.. keep it coming..

92 times out of 100, Tyron sells his sheet rock roof for a crack rock.

Collins, id love to see you on louder with crowder to see what kinds of solutions you and him can possibly come up with to prevent situations like this from spreading around the country.

Sacramento is getting similar. The other day I actually saw someone begging from a street median dressed like a robber. It was insane to think about really. He had a hoodie on, sunglasses and a scarf over his mouth with one hand in his pocket. I sat in the car looking at him wondering if he actually gets regular money from people thinking he might have a gun in his pocket while they are stuck at a red light. The tolerance of this behavior is insanely irresponsible.

I left in 2013. I could not stand walking through that filth in such an expensive city.

Thank you so much for making this video, we’re suffering in this filth of a city. And i have to work here since i work as i work as a compurer engineer. You should see how they are abusing the refferendum system to bass laws like the ammo background check ban

I like your channel. Keep finding myself watching a lot of your videos.
