San Francisco Part 3: The Human Toll of Bad Policy 

People get to become "Entrepreneurs in Misery" and it becomes their employment and income, it's the way it's become a permanent and some who works with it get dependent on it, it's a hamster wheel in some way.

Please explain why in the hell are you still living there? Vote with your feet! You can make a home anyplace that you live. You will meet new friends and relatives will probably follow you to your new town. You can move someplace that has a thriving economy or someplace it doesn't take must money to live so you'll be able to make money on gigs or part-time work. Detroit is much safer than SF, much cleaner and you can live inexpensively. Message me if you decide to give it a shot. There is no way I would continue living in SF.

@@lvteachme973 LOL...Not many other places I can make the money I make for what I do.... Believe me, when I retire I'm taking my pension, moving to Tennessee, and never looking back. 30 years down the line, but still a goal haha.

@Blu Absolutely correct

It goes well BEYOND "enabling". it is - ENSURING - that the addict REMAINS addicted. It is literally the OPPOSITE of Compassion. But Leftists live in upside down-world, where everything means exactly it's opposite. They would make the entire world look like San Fransisco if they had control.

there's no way for me to know if I'm just somebody's mark or if it's truly a one-off request for assistance...I'm asked for money by the same people day after day here in downtown SF...they seem to have fallen into a loop in which they return to the same spots and ask in the same ways.

You are right Bill - but sometimes - just sometimes - our intuition overrides our intellect - and for those rare and very special moments - there is a very meaningful difference in the life of one whose future can often be counted in days if not hours.

@Englewood Frank21 Who hurt you?

I agree. I don't know if I would say it's "wrong" to give the beer to the drunk. But personally, I don't want any part in their addiction, I refuse.

😂👏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

@ Laura Wren: You ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT have said it any better. I KNOW... I live here going on 38 years this coming August of 2019.

I was there last summer 2018, still a beautiful city... This is unfortunate though!

Too true 🐶💩🐕🐾

Port o lets come to mind. Like jobsites. For over a decade i had to plan my trips in seattle around where i knew there were bathrooms I could use. Which were few and far between. By far

@Derp Derp ya its pretty much everywhere so fuck it.

Supperconductor Welcome to Freedom! Lol good for you getting the F out of there

All those "voters" have now infected other states and are now turning their new state into the shit hole they left. Thanks

I never voted to put a price on materials. And I never voted to work. Who controls this dam boat??? Certainly ain't me and I'm a tax payer. Wtf

@Derp Derp I live in Atlanta as well, LGBT capital of the South smh.. We dodged a bullet getting Kemp

Agreed 100%

Poverty and sense are learned. When I lived in CA, I tried helping some of my friends to get ahead in life. They had an excuse for everything and I dare say enjoyed and wore victimhood as a badge of honor. I’m not saying that’s the case with this woman, but that’s what I’ve experienced first hand. It shook my core beliefs and now I do firmly believe that some people are beyond MY help.

She doesn't have just one, she has four.

She gets her SSI with one baby but that doesn’t compute does it ? FOUR ? insane !

Supperconductor Couch surfing is the beginning of laziness and numerous mental issues

What?... Are you kidding?

thomas grokenberger damn u too. Even. Two jobs isn’t enough and I don’t do any drugs or drink and I’m still in the streets 🤦🏿‍♂️

I finally moved out and now I’m a homeowner free and clear and I can make my own money whereas sf has been co opted by the nouveau riches when they inherited their parents homes and cashed in and caused inflation to go unchecked in the rental market. They squeezed out those of us that went to grade school and junior high and some high school here( moved in sophomore year) and came back after serving my country and working first one and soon two jobs because to me it was home. Outsiders really made it hard for natives and landlords capitalized on new comers and us natives were driven out. It’s the nature of that city unless you have cash my friends! !

You're seeing market demand & supply

As the dude in his one video said. You have to hit bottom (as an addict), if you don't you won't want to look for help

Ronnie Loco You can help them by stopping enabling them.

nope but you sure can put lead in its head.

@@SH-lb1nu Most addicts hitting bottom means either they have died or someone else dies.

You can't persuade a drug addict to stop or slow down, maybe for two days but the shakes happen. But if you feed their addiction, provide fresh needles, no repercussions, you reward the addicts with no control or enforcement of laws, the police are not allowed to talk to them. You advertise through the media that all addicts are welcome and will be taken care of, you will reap what you have sown.

Lol. If Seattle thinks it's bad - it's a national emergency.

Never go back !! Its a drug apocalypse

Never go back hep c is rampant Most these people play a good pity me party Most of these people choose to stay living this way I live in Sacramento and we see it all the time why the fuck do you have for kids if you never had permanent fucking housing please explain that to me.. Our governments fucking idiotic policies is what is causing this shit and people feel sorry for people like this. .. If your mom was fucking homeless and you were fucking homeless and you didn't have shit why in the fuck would you bring forur children into the world to be homeless with nothing? Expecting someone else to fucking take care of them I'm truly speechless when I see and hear these peoples reasons

yah man I live here, the garbage and literal shit on the streets is insane. This city well be in hell in 10 years the way its going and you can bet my ass wont be here

A Dystopian Paradise. Each " class" is materializing: Illegals, getting government benefits and ID cards,free education and health care. Homeless/ junkies. Government workers. And a swiftly shrinking " middle class". That's all that's left in California. Might want to wall off California,let nature take it's course, like a body creating an abcess to contain an infection...to be lanced and drained out later..

What happened to the state mental institutions? Did they shut it down around the whole country?

All those people moving from blue states are the crazy leftists. They’re moving to your state and bringing their failed policies to your state. Stay complacent saying “glad I don’t move in California”. Signed, a conservative stuck in California.

@@sasquatchhunter86 Are you still stuck there?

@kentuckyjustice1408

I feel like Colion just let that one slide because it was not relevant. But I rolled my eyes too.

It depends on the bullet and the dumpster.

It will stop the 22 lr pea shooters the homeless addicts have. They aren't walking around with expensive high powered rifles.

Depends on what the bullet was, also most things won't go through both sides because of deformation.

@@JAM-yj4tb a 22 pea shooter will do more damage than a higher caliber pistol. 22 bullets bounce around inside a human body.

Doughnut Spaghetti Thank Reagan for that.

@@Rubytheblueeyedwolf Also, it wasn't Reagans bill, people need to stop believing mainstream drivel and research.

That's what I said but it's not gong to happen, they are all gone now and closed. It's time to call a spade a spade and segregate these people from society at large. They will have to open the FEMA camps. They should open the camps, and supply them with whatever drugs they want, feed them house them and give them a cot in a clean tent. The catch wil be they have to stay in the camp. All most of these people have to do is LEAVE California or whatever place they are, that's it, but they refuse. Call it what it is, most of these people just want to be where they are because thats home to them and they want to hang out there. They have homeless people in ALASKA for heavens sake who refuse to leave or get help. Well tough Nugs, I had to leave the northeast and NYC , it got to liberal and to exspensive. Most of these people just don't want to live by what most of us call normal standards. This is what Ghettos USED to be for in big cities, places where you could live that way if you wanted to. Now all those Ghettos have become luxery nieghborhoods. THAT MEANS YOU MOVE ON. IF I DID ANYONE CAN. I LOVED NYC MORE THAN LIFE AND I HAD TO LEAVE! Now age will force me out again eventually, that's life for the less fortunate! You move on. Most of the people in Californai living in those tents are getting SS or some sort of federal check. If they lived in say Birmingham, Alabama, they could be living in an apartment for the same money they are living on the streets of LA with, spending 10 dollars a pack on cigarettes, gas, food, etc. triple it costs anywhere else. They don't want to. So tough nugs!!!!!

@@n1c704 Bullshit, it was also liberals who complained about people being "incarcerated" while not sentenced for a crime, even though they were a threat to the community. Fuck off with that bullshit!

@@n1c704 Actually, the de-institutionalization of the mental facilities happened under Carter. Back in '91, my Debate class topic was homelessness and that is one clear thing that was obvious from all of the research is that the homelessness issue at that time was largely caused by Carter.

Shit you saw how she kept licking that tongue out.

To be fair: depends on the ammunition, the type of dumpster; etc. Plus: i think he was highlighting how wack his train of thought was so he might know it was a partially innacurate statement

Little to do with actual liberalism and more to do with progressivism.

@WeMi Ci arguably better than California honestly. Cant wait to leave.

@get lost Not at all. I would recommend reading some political theory. What conservatives wrongly label as "liberals" are not liberals at all.

Why do you guys fail to acknowledge that Reagan started this shit buy gutting funding for mental health? Btw I'm not a party sheep so I it makes no difference who is what.

@get lost Yea which is why a house costs $85,000 and no one wants to live there.

Jefari H. A waffle stomp that is

Dean burney Yea I heard that line, any comment ?

It's a pigsty and has been forever

Only $36/hr, it is not too much

They aren’t paid that much. Maybe in the past, idk. They average about $47K a year. The average single person median income in SF is $83k, & that my friend is living paycheck to paycheck in SF. Almost half of all MUNI drivers live outside the city & county because the cost of living there is untenable. I mean, who the hell wants to buy an 1200sq ft 2 bedroom 1 bath 80 year old home for 1.5mil that ain’t even up to electrical code? Let alone be able to afford it?

Those bus drivers commute from places like Stockton, Antioch etc.

Bus drivers and grocery checkers make more than you would think because they need to perform quite well to keep the business profitable.

29 per hour in CLEVELAND i did it for 18 years....not enough money

Good idea to put them on a island so they can rehab but they use Alcatraz as a tourist spot.

@@skromee as a whole san Fran is the tourist destination and if you could give up one area and repurpose it for good and remove the human shit from the streets how is that sacrifice not worth it? What they are currently doing isn't working and maybe Alcatraz isn't large enough but maybe expand it? Something needs to be done and this would be a small step amd may be concentrating them is a bad idea but so is letting them run amok throughout the city is worse

MONEY is NEVER the problem.

How about dump them in the Pacific, 10 miles off the coast?

That will never happen Alcatraz as a tourist attraction it is literally sold out for months in advance. They care about money and even though the tourists are not going to come back that are American it won't change. San Francisco is not an American tourist spot anymore... It's for people who think they're coming to see the San Francisco that's in the movies and the Golden Gate Bridge.

@@49ersBigD "in the middle of bum fuck america"?! 69k alone is a pretty good income no matter where you are. Well, as long as you aren't in a progressive "utopia." If taxes in SF weren't so through the roof to literally just go into the pockets of politicians (they aren't even spending on pork barrel projects, to my understanding), 69k-80k would certainly be around upper middle class at least.

Yes but with over time it could be that high easily from 80k, thats the trick to these metro jobs all over the US, you get very high overtime. People who take these jobs for life are the slaves of society, they are willing to be slaves their entire lives just for a secure paycheck and "the benifits" . I chose freedom and less money. No amount of money is enough to pay me to drive a bus in a major California city. It's worth paying the driver 140k, they deserve it!

@@49ersBigD I LOVE living in the Nice, Safe, Clean, Polite, Civilized, CONSERVATIVE, CAPITAL of BUM FUCK America! thank you very much. Anyway, isn't San Fransisco supposed to be the International Headquarters of Bum-Fuckery?

Cops here start out at 41k a year.... That's a cop with a degree... CA is out of its mind.

At 80k a year you can't buy a house in Frisco. Where I live in CA our fuel is 4.05 a gallon and that's cheap. The registration for my bike is 220. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Don't buy them shit; let them live with the choices they've made. Fuck 'em.

The difference between a homeless person asking me for a beer vs my neighbor asking me for a beer.... your on the streets with no where to call your own home.... maybe clothes to wear... hygiene products... a hot meal for that moment then and there... giving a beer will not help you at all... now my neighbor asking me for a beer yes it's a different story because even if he or she does like to drink they still are responsible enough to work a job to pay their bills to not have to be living on the streets with no where to go.... that's called taking up your responsibility as an adult so yes no doubt about it my neighbor can have a beer...

Slappy LMAO

Drugrs are good

from NV. AZ sends their undesirables to Socal.

Yep

I'm ultra poor 🚮

@Tonald Drump I'm disabled, I receive zero government 'benefits' I was born here.

Tonald Drump don’t give a fuck how hard u work if you came here illegally doesn’t matter. Hard work doesn’t excuse criminality

At least the illegal immigrants work.

Move inland (red).

She chose to have 4 kids, after being homeless at the age of 16...hindsight 20/20.

Yes she’s 100% correct

Actually a Harry Potter movie.

#TheReal #FobbDeep no that’s the one got caught at.

Agreed!!

No they didn't fix any of the homelessness there they just don't tolerate it so they've moved to other places. This is happening all over the country from coast to coast and it's not going to stop anytime soon it's not a homeless problem it is a substance abuse problem an ignorance problem..

because real-estate investors want high dollar homes.

Because illegal aliens and criminals are the top priority! Got to pander to your voter base!
