If You're Going, A Flower In Your Hair Won't Cut-It.

Here's my question. .. is it really that bad? Or is this a means to frighten the public into voting to raise already exorbitant taxes even higher? 

I don't know. . But I honestly cannot imagine that with the taxes those people pay they cant keep piles of drug needles and poop off the sidewalks. .. 

I agree they have a homeless problem, warm weather climates are more prone to collecting the homeless, but at the same time can it really be that bad?

I just think there could very well be an ulterior motive to this article. I've lived in areas of large cities in areas where there are lots of homeless, and never seen what was described in this article. They described a third world country.. not a city in America .

Just a question in my mind about that..

It could be -as you suggested Grace, a 'off-tangent' article to slowly bring the State's residence around
to seeing where taxes go and how they need increasing. It could well be.

I'm surprised that if it's a straight-forward report on the conditions of San Francisco's streets, it's a blot on
the immigrant narrative and the lib-journos didn't realise.

It sends a bad message for tourism considering this article is on the internet.
