Hopefully this media blitz helps with a solution for the problem. It is so hard for me to go to SF, literally walking over homeless people and watch them piss all over Ubers building last time I was there was heartbreaking. Such a massive problem that needs to be solved.

It's not easy. But with the obscene amounts of wealth in San Francisco the right approach to ending chronic street homelessness can get a ton done. If Philadelphia, one of the poorest major cities in the country, with the highest rate of deep poverty of almost any major city can get homelessness down to 1 in 5000 residents, then cities like San Francisco can do better than 1 in 275 and Seattle can do better than 1 in 300.

Note: Numbers are from a 2009 survey.
But why should we help the homeless when we can enable landlords to buy gold-plated toilet seats?
