San Francisco loves to bitch about its "homeless problem", and unfortunately it seems that the same legislation and institutions that were put in place to prevent people from losing their homes, as well as maintaining their livlihood and dignity have been hijacked and abused to the point where they no longer serve any meaningful purpose other than to protect certain entities from any real liability, and to push anyone who isn't already A) already wealthy enough and comfortably housed, or B) on their payroll in, into a perpetual cycle of homelessness, or near-homelessness. You don't have to be a complete derelict to be homeless in this town - you just gotta be a regular ass person who can't swing the extremely high rents and refuses to enter a government program where clients are treated like convicts based solely on their financial circunstances.

It's outta control. We do have a "homeless problem"...and it's got nothing to do with homeless people.
