Please allow me to simplify the issue, for easier understanding what is the cause, as you clearly can see and personally experience the effect. Growing government, subsidy programs, that is the problem. With every single new government subsidy or program, there is someone whom is financially incentivize to perpetuate these programs, in order to continue skimming off the top or enjoying gainful employment. They don't want to fix anything, because they get paid to perpetuate the problem which assures their own continued financial prosperity. Get your mind around it, people are greedy, and those people are absolutely attracted to the government, the place with the least fiscal oversight and the most available flex money to spend. The more money they throw at these problems, the worse they will get, guaranteed. Let's get back to the deportation and border wall argument, because where do you think the drugs come from.

Mr. Yesterday is right on target. Government is best at creating a perpetual welfare system benefiting the managers who essentially manage taxpayer's money in the manager's bank accounts and pensions. When providing high quality essential services, we don't mind paying a fair price (Water, Sewer, Power, Trash, Public Health, Fire EMT & Police), but I only recently was told that the state has passed a law that requires certain jobs to pay a certain minimum amount - sort of like a rich person's minimum wage! This is no joke.

Compassion is a great attribute for people to have, and something San Francisco was known for a hundred years before the Stupidvisors rolled out their Sanctuary City program. No one should be allowed to graduate HS without demonstrating they understand the futility of creating conflicting interests in public policy; no point even talking about closing the border if we are not

willing to deport anyone.

Take your pick of where you choose to borrow widsom, and nowhere will you find a successful society that allows strangers to just drop in, ignore all laws, behave anti-socially, cause a drain on the society's resources while producing nothing but filth and trash in return with the exception of

those non-profit jobs growing like a yeast infection!

Thank you, Erica. You will wake up the voters of our City why people like this ED of DHSH should get the boot, along with City Hall Pols who fund her disfunction.

Money, money, money, money - money! And that's what it's all about.

What is terrible about all of this nonsense;

a) The people suffering who refuse help, or are not ready to accept help, and work their way back out

of the drug hole.

b) The criminals making money from these addicts.

c) Slave traders.

d) The old hide the problem, and the problem is solved approach.

e) The creative math of how to turn 6K to 7K homeless people into 30K with the stroke of a pen.

f) If the problem ends, the gravy train comes to a screeching halt.

What happens if we disinvite all of these people tomo
